Featured Reviews

Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Easy to deploy with great security and responsive support
The security on offer is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It offers, for example, two-factor authentification. The remote connection across platforms is great. You can deploy it on anything, including Windows, Mac, iOS, your iPhone, et cetera. It offers multi-platform utility. This makes it great for enterprise. Users can use it for PAM access as well. The feature of Devolutions that has improved our customer's efficiency the most is probably the security side. It's gotten a lot tighter. Authentication and secure connections are helpful. They use encryption between them, which is just standard for them. The company has so many regulatory controls that they must ensure their security is very tight. There's a lot of potential cybercrime around casinos, and this solution ensures they are well-protected. Devolutions is a great product that can be safely used between China, Australia, or the Philippines, and it remains a good, safe product.

Easy to use and allows us to conduct illustrative, VR-like presentations to customers
The most valuable feature is the ability to do a virtual reality kind of presentation where you're able to annotate scenes to illustrate what you mean when you're talking to a customer. This particular feature is the best as far as we're concerned. It's easy enough to use. We have no complaints about security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost-saving solution, reducing IT department workload and allowing for faster device provisioning compared to traditional methods."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"Intune provides a centralized management solution, although its suitability depends on specific needs and comparisons with alternatives like Jamf, Kandji, or ManageEngine."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"The remote connection across platforms is great."
"Makes me instantly more focused on resolving the issue rather than getting to the issue."
"By integrating all our connections previously spread across multiple locations, a lot of time has been saved."
"One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more."
"RDM has enabled me to do most of my work in one place. This helps me be able to have an RDP session open to a server in one tab and an SSH session open to a VMware host in another."
"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."
"Setup and installation was simple."
"Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment."
"It's easy enough to use."
"Technical support has good responsiveness."
 

Cons

"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."
"Intune could be improved by expanding its third-party patching capabilities for a more comprehensive solution."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"The interoperability or communication with a different platform can be better. It is a two-way street. It is not only about Microsoft. The other platforms also have to be willing to share some information, but that absolutely can be improved."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
"The console is a little bit clunky."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"The location markings can appear incorrectly."
"It's quite power-hungry and some customers complain that it drains the batteries on their smartphones very quickly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"Setup costs for most people is negligible."
"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."
"The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."
"We pay for the licensing monthly."
"It is not an expensive product."
