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 jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"Solution has a good UI."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten."
"I mainly use Microsoft Intune analytics for taking that data that exists and bringing it into Power BI dashboards to make it visible to our clients, showing them all the operating systems in their environment and where the latest patches are, and then from there creating plans."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
 

Cons

"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"We had an APNS certificate set to expire last week. We tried to renew it two days before it expired. We logged in to the APNS portal but could not find that certificate. We didn't know where it went. All the iOS devices stopped working. We contacted the Apple and Microsoft teams, and each blamed the other. This is something that Microsoft should take care of. Last week, we had so many escalations from high-profile users who couldn't access corporate data on their devices."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"There were several bugs with stability."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"The interface is easy, but it is not user-friendly when evaluating the overall user experience of Microsoft Intune."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"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."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
