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.

Has chat functionality and helps to support client computers
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 is very efficient because it allows remote control without user permission on the other side, which is useful for servers and various systems. For security, it can also request user permission for remote control, ensuring secure access. It lets you manage dedicated users, providing them with remote control with multi-factor authentication. For me, this tool is perfect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"The automatic patch management feature in the Intune Suite is helpful."
"The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"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 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."
"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."
 

Cons

"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"We face multiple scenarios where IT decision-makers request specific policy implementations, however, due to product limitations, we cannot fulfill these requests."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"Its integration with Mac and Linux devices can be better. They should provide more features similar to Windows. We should be able to manage policies within Linux and Mac machines. If we can have more granular controls for these two operating systems, it will be really helpful."
"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."
"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"The integration features could be better."
"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 solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."
"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"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."
"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."
