Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

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.

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

"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."

"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."

"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."

"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."

"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."

"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."

"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."

More Microsoft Intune pros

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

"Remote connect via webpage. I use it to support employees when I am not in the office or when they are at a remote location."

"It's very low maintenance."

"Offers more security than TeamViewer, Google Remote Desktop, and Zoom. It's a stable, feature-rich solution that's easy to set up and easy to scale."

"Unattended access is the most important feature."

"The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance."

"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."

"Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect pros

"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 file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."

"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 initial setup is simple."

"The solution is very fast."

Cons

"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."

"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."

"Customer service used to be better. In the last couple of years, support has not been very good, even with Premier and Premium support. It's been very hit-or-miss."

"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft. There are a few things I can still do with Jamf that I am unable to do with Intune yet."

"It could offer more attributes for authentication."

"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."

"Automatic updating is pretty rough. It doesn't give me as much control as I had in the past."

"The support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."

"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."

"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."

"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."

"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."

"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."

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

"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming. They do provide audio conferencing, but seeing the problem makes it easier to solve the problem. If they had video streaming, if a client had a physical problem with something and I couldn't get remote access, the client could use his mobile phone to show me the problem. In these cases, even if a client's systems were down, I could help, so long as I had a mobile phone environment."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect cons

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

"The integration features could be better."

"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."

"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."

"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."

"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."

"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."

"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."

"Microsoft Intune is expensive."

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."

"We pay an annual licensing fee."

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

"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."

"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 well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."

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

"It is priced fairly."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect pricing and cost advice

"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."

"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."

"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."
