Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

Strong security with room for enhancements in AI analytics

We integrate with our Active Directory regarding the role-based access controls in BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access.I have not yet utilized the endpoint least privilege management feature in BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access. There is a ready integration guide available for BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access, so there are no major issues. All API integration is available to integrate with. More organizations are moving towards cloud infrastructure with BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access. They are choosing this because they do not want to manage their on-premises and other hardware infrastructure. As we are not working with other vendors, I would rate BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access a 10 out of 10.

Remote design work has become smoother and adapts intelligently to changing bandwidth

The best features of Rocket Exceed TurboX are that it works reasonably well and is easy to set up. As the admin, I set up the server and tested it with different bandwidths. The solution performs better than VNC, though there is still lag in the one Mbps to four Mbps range. Rocket Exceed TurboX automatically adjusts the resolution according to the program that is running, which is their intellectual property. This intelligent adjustment is a significant advantage compared to VNC, where I had to set it to the lowest setting with poor resolution to achieve acceptable performance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier. It allows us to deploy applications, packages, Windows updates, and security updates like BitLocker encryption more efficiently and easily."

"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."

"The automatic patch management feature in the Intune Suite is helpful."

"Microsoft integrated BitLocker and Active Directory into Intune, simplifying management."

"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."

"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."

"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."

"The feature of remotely wiping devices in Microsoft Intune is what I prefer the most."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"It provides us the ability to get an end-user back up and running and keep them running efficiently."

"The product has improved remote support capabilities since it works fine."

"More organizations are moving towards cloud infrastructure with BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access."

"It is a great tool, and everything has improved over here."

"The security provided by PRA when it comes to access for remote and privileged users has been outstanding. It has met all of our objectives, everything from password rotation to securing and allowing us to clamp down access to the auditing and monitoring features."

"This product is very stable and scalable. This is an excellent platform."

"The features I find most effective in BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access include the advantages of password safe for anyone using their web server designing or applications."

"This product is the de facto standard, based on function features, installation, and customer base."

More BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access pros

"This product is great, it's easy to use and it can solve certain problems our remote users face, as employees in other cities and countries can easily access it and the solution is perfect for Linux users."

"The solution is perfect for Linux users."

"The best features of Rocket Exceed TurboX are that it works reasonably well and is easy to set up."

"The most helpful feature of OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is that it allows you to consume heavy applications that usually have a lot of latency. I also like that the solution is fast and has a friendly UI."

Cons

"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."

"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."

"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."

"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."

"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 Intune needs to improve the initial login process."

"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."

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

More Microsoft Intune cons

"I recommend that we improve integration with other products like PasswordSafe, aiming for smoother integration."

"It would be very nice if it has an enterprise vault."

"Changing your password should be simplified, and there should not be a charge for it."

"It would be very nice if it has an enterprise vault. Currently, it can interact with Password Safe, which is a separate solution and equivalent to Thycotic Secret Server. Instead of having Password Safe as a separate entity, they should combine it with BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access. They have done it in some way, but it is not an enterprise tech solution."

"Its access process for third-party vendors needs to be simplified."

"I would love to have a web console and the ability to use the smart card with the web console to provide remote support. If you are on a computer that doesn't have the Bomgar console, you should be able to use the web console to provide support. That's the only thing right now. A web console is nice when you're jumping into a computer, but if you need to elevate the privileges, you currently can't do it with the smart card. If they could figure that out, that would be money."

"Multiple areas can be improved. We've seen lots of updates in the past year. They have a portal where we can submit our ideas. BeyondTrust is immediately implementing user suggestions. The UI could be more informative. Initially, there were two or three connectors, and now we have five or six. It would be nice if they added a few more connectors for third-party integration. There are multiple tools, but the clients may require more for their convenience."

"The price is pretty expensive."

More BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access cons

"It seems to work better than the original solution, but it still does not meet the standards I wanted."

"An area for improvement in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is the installation process because you need some technical knowledge to install it. What's lacking in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is a help portal for users to ask questions and seek assistance."

"The performance of the graphical interface needs improvement. They should add some CPU to speed graphic acceleration."

"We have concerns about network speed and security settings."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price is pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for and this is a great product."

"I wish it was a little bit cheaper, but when a product is as solid as this, I understand what the cost does. It helps them to make sure it stays that way. If you want a reliable, solid product, you're going to pay more."

"I wasn't directly involved in the licensing and pricing, but I can say that PRA is licensed per endpoint added to the Vault. I would advise users to take frequent exports of their license usage package; it's a simple feature that provides a spreadsheet of every machine in the Vault. This helps to cut down on duplicate licenses, which can happen by adding the same endpoint using an IP address and a fully qualified domain name, for instance. The implementation is an additional cost, and they offer several tiers, so the price varies. There are also some optional add-ons, so I would advise people to research the product well and find out precisely what they need regarding features. The Advanced Web Access add-on provides some required functionality when interfacing with websites; that's one to consider."

"My client found the solution a bit expensive but considering their use case and requirements, they didn't have any other choice. As far as I know, implementation and licensing are the only costs."

"Don't get into a situation where you are licensing per desktop or per person until you fully understand the licensing."

"PRA's pricing is competitive."

"Though the solution was a bit expensive, the overall pricing was average."

"I rate the product's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is high, and ten is low. It is an expensive product."

More BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access pricing and cost advice

"Pricing for OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is five out of ten. It's not that expensive, and it's not that affordable."
