Everything has worked better since we started using it

Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities

I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Easy setup and effective support

I am with the company that sells LogMeIn Rescue. So, we engage with end customers, enterprise customers, manufacturing customers, BFSI customers, and healthcare customers. We try to find their use cases and provision our solution accordingly. For instance, if someone is in manufacturing and wants…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."

"The cloud base is perfect for me."

"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."

"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."

"The solution is stable."

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."

"Our configuration profiles used to be all over the place. For example, there's a lot of legacy stuff in Active Directory. Going through Intune has helped us enforce settings, which has improved device security and functionality. When you apply something through Intune, you know it works. You don't have to worry about a legacy setting from Active Directory that was uploaded by somebody seven years ago. With Intune, you can see that a device has a setting, and you can be confident that the device is configured how you want."

"Microsoft Intune helps us avoid issuing everyone company-owned devices. We provide a stipend, allowing users to bring their own devices. This approach gives us leverage against other MSPs. It also enhances collaboration because clients already covered by specific licensing can optimize their usage of Microsoft Intune."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."

"It's very easy to use. Provides connections that are always on. It was nice to be able to see a list of end-points and see whether or not they were connected so I could troubleshoot any network issues I had."

"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."

"I do love the monitoring page. If you are using ConnectWise Control, which is the on-prem version, when you are logged into the admin panel, there is a status page that checks network connectivity, the status of the license, and so on."

"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."

"Session groups and triggers are the most valuable features, because they make a greater degree of organization possible. Greater degree of organization is valuable to my organization, because we have many sessions to handle."

"It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues."

"Being able to flip quickly between however many monitors that I have running, detune the video for black and white, or with fewer colors to make it faster, is amazing."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect pros

"No issues with scalability. It is a fairly simple model. If I wanted to add five more, I would just buy five more people and licenses, apply the program to their computers, and give them their login."

"It allows us to rapidly solve issues for our customers on a remote basis, regardless of the location of the customer."

"The ability see iOS devices helps us out a lot because the majority of our users are iOS device users."

"The tech support person I spoke to was very knowledgeable about the product, and was straightforward with me about its capabilities. There was no fluff about the product. They basically said this is not available now and we're hoping to have it available in the third or fourth quarter. It was nice to talk to someone who was straightforward and knew about the product."

"Instead of trying to walk-through a user on how to fix their computer, we just log in, do it, and move on to the next case."

"I can remote reboot and know I can reconnect automatically without having to have the end user log back in again."

"Being able to reboot computers into safe mode, when needed. That has come in handy in regards to IT troubleshooting."

"If an issue happens, we're able to log in at the time that it happens and address it , so there's minimal downtime."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

Cons

"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."

"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."

"The security aspect could be more effective. We are using other applications to manage network devices and groups, so if Microsoft Intune could improve in this area, especially on a network level, it would be a real advantage."

"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."

"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."

"Reporting needs improvement."

"There are a couple of issues with stability."

"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."

"Mobile interface."

"There is an issue which is pretty rare, but I find it at least when connecting from my mobile device. I am forced to refresh the screen by changing the screen quality to get screen updates. This only happens sometimes."

"Support for PAC files on the guest's side and support for proxy on the host's side. Currently, there is no support for guest-side PAC files or for the host-side proxy (which uses authentication)."

"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."

"I was not thrilled with their support. I do not have a lot of time to deal with the attention which is needed to fix issues."

"If it had Chrome capability, that would be great; being able to use it on a Chrome device. Right now, I can't use it on my Chrome device."

"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect cons

"They need to combine computer and mobile end-user support to be a more streamlined experience."

"The app itself requires so many different updates and it requires us to rebuild it every time, and that's been a bit of a problem, over the last five years, in keeping it up to date for our clients."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"The interface is not user-friendly. It looks a little outdated. I think the options are there. I think just the layout needs improvement."

"Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network, what good is the product?"

"The one big problem that I have with LogMeIn Rescue is, I use a Mac. All my technicians use PCs. I use a Mac, and the Mac agent crashes at least once a day. I have to stop it and start it again. To date, I don’t have a problem with people using PC. I think the Mac app that they have needs to be improved."

"They need to improve their technical support."

"it needs better iOS integration. It's still limited in its functionality when it comes to iOS. Currently, when you do something other than iOS, you're not able to take control of what's going on; instead of having to tell the user, "Click here, click there," I would like to have full control over an iOS device."

More LogMeIn Rescue cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure."

"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."

"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."

"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."

"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."

"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."

"The cloud version is relatively inexpensive, but the on-premise version is expensive if you do not need three technicians, only one or two for concurrent sessions."

"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."

"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."

"Good price and works well."

"For the price we pay, we definitely feel it's worth it, but there are some contenders in the market that are coming out now, whose products are as good; they are offering more features and the price is actually less than ConnectWise. All things considered, the biggest thing is the lack of patching in ConnectWise. If they could integrate that into the product, that would be a game changer, if offered at the same price point."

"It is priced fairly."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect pricing and cost advice

"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need."

"It is on the medium to high side. For us, it is worth it. For the amount of time they save us, it pretty much pays for itself."

"The pricing is worth the value."

"Pricing is reasonable and easily offsets other costs, while resolving issues in a much quicker timeframe."

"The only downside is pricing. I think each technician license is somewhere around $100 or $120 a month now. So if you have a lot of technicians, it can get expensive, for a small business."

"The rescue model is licensed by user."

"I did look into a couple of other products, TeamViewer in particular, at one point. The price point of Rescue, compared to some of the other things that are in the marketplace right now, is high. But it's what I would call the "Cadillac" of the industry."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
