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.
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.

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."
"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."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"It's very secure, and it works very well. I like their remote support feature. It can be used for our clients' desktops or anywhere where the client can be working. I'd have to say the product is very good. It's a strong solution for us."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"I like Intune's ability to manage roles, maintenance tasks, compliance settings, and patch development for all endpoints."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"Easy to use."
 

Cons

"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"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."
"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."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"​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.​"
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Pricing can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
