Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.
Gfrancis Francis - PeerSpot reviewer
Vice President at Korchek Technologies
Has provided secure remote access for years but inconsistent support delays resolution
Regarding logging and management, while some of the logging is really good, other times it's not so great, and we've had to reach out to Check Point a few times for assistance, and the support we've gained hasn't been up to par with what Check Point usually offers as part of their support. When it comes to improvements, not specifically the remote access VPN, but the support associated with Check Point products has fallen over the last two years, and the response time is much worse, with the first layer of support lacking sufficient knowledge on how to troubleshoot issues.
David Fitzerman - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Alchemist/ VP at DFC BBQ
Able to boot into safe mode or standard mode remotely and reliable performance
I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"When comparing Microsoft Intune to Jamf, Microsoft Intune is superior."

"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"By using Microsoft Intune, I can control my Outlook on my phone, and whenever I try to open any file attachment, it will be more secure."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."

"We use it to connect our sites. We have a couple of sites that need to interconnect."
"Scalability is great. We have been able to grow as a corporation due in part to this type of solution."
"The complexity is hidden within a full mesh network, allowing seamless user-to-application connectivity with minimal delay."
"Splashtop Remote Support is my main product, and I use it daily. Its main function is to control systems, which is essential remotely. Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable."
"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."
"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."

"The solution is very fast."
"The initial setup is simple."
 

Cons

"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"There are areas that have room for improvement in Microsoft Intune, particularly regarding integrations."
"There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"One thing that could be better in Microsoft Intune is the file size, as it is quite large at times."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"This is the best version we are using, however, if some changes can be made in the next release, I'd like to see adjustments to the time period and internet connectivity."
"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"Sometimes we have some small problems with Check Point Remote Access VPN. For example, problems with authentication."
"The authentication that we handle is through a .p12 certificate, however, we have integrated it with a 2MFA service through another provider."

"The client-side UI is fundamental, and there is nothing to see."
"I'm not sure if I can recommend the solution as I'm not sure if it's a fit for me."
"The integration features could be better."
"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."
"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."
"The packages that Splashtop has tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
"The integration features could be better."
"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten. For the cost of one product, we could purchase two or three Fortinet solutions with the same amount of money."
"Regarding pricing, as a global customer, we get a big discount. For us, it's a good return on investment. We need to pay for additional features we want to enable. It seems cheaper than other vendors, but I can't say what it would cost an average customer."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"The price of this product is good."
"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."
"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."
"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."
