Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."
"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."
"The best part of Intune is application deployment. We can deploy an application to several users with a single click. We can use conditional access, granting access to users based on certain conditions, such as location, platform, etc."
"Within Intune, managing policies and having a consistent way to manage devices is valuable."
"The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate most are its centralized features."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising. The Web rep console introduced is a marked improvement, but is currently not at feature parity with the thick client. This is being worked on."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"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."
"Customer service used to be better, but as we are nearing the end of the contract, the focus on investing in us as a customer has diminished. It is what one would expect in such a situation."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"The granular support for other device types in Microsoft Intune could be improved."
"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them."
"The support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."
"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."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
"Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"This product provides value for money."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"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 cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
