Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution
The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

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

"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."
"If you are looking for endpoint protection and compliance, Microsoft Intune is definitely a go-to product."
"On the cloud, you can manage everything; you can push policies, maintain patches, and maintain security because everything interacts on the cloud and a VPN is not required."
"Microsoft integrated BitLocker and Active Directory into Intune, simplifying management."
"I find Microsoft Intune valuable primarily for its Windows management capabilities, along with its Android Enterprise and Apple device management for mobile devices."
"It is a cloud solution, and you can easily scale as your needs grow."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"Technical support is very good and very fast; we find them to be very knowledgeable."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"The solution is very quick to set up."
"The installation is almost instant."
"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."
"The technical support is good."
"One of the most convenient features is that I can print from it and do everything as I would if I were sitting at my own desktop."
"The initial setup is simple."
"In contrast, Splashtop is a really good product and it's not so expensive."
"With the extended license, it's easy to be remote."
"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."
"The solution is very fast."
"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."
 

Cons

"I assess the stability of the product as low. I have faced downtime crashes and performance issues with Microsoft Intune."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer."
"There are differences in protecting the data on a mobile device and on iOS. When you protect the data on iOS, you protect the entire device."
"Microsoft needs to strategize its licensing structure. When using Microsoft Intune, we bought a small scale of controls, only controlling part of the devices, though Microsoft Intune can do much more. The Intune Suite offers more features, allowing extensive integration with either internal or cloud environments without requiring third-party licensing. However, each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Intune could be more simplified, but apart from this, everything is outstanding and performs well as per our expectations."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"This solution requires that the PC is "on" in order to reach it remotely. If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."
"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."
"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."
"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."
"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."
"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."
"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
"We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."
"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."
"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."
"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."
