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.

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.

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."
"Microsoft Intune has transformed my organization; we are managing to scale the Intune deployment across all our regions efficiently, and it works perfectly for our needs."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"Microsoft integrated BitLocker and Active Directory into Intune, simplifying management."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"It is effective. It is a good way of making sure that you're auditing what's going on. It also makes the end-user feel safe that you're not getting into things that you shouldn't be getting into because they're authorizing different areas for you to see. It is a pretty secure tool. It is important as far as security is concerned. It is very effective in terms of the support personnel being able to get the job done when they need to. It is easy for the end-user or the person we're helping out to understand how to allow somebody in to get the work done."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"Offers more security than TeamViewer, Google Remote Desktop, and Zoom. It's a stable, feature-rich solution that's easy to set up and easy to scale."
"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"Session groups and triggers are the most valuable features, because they make a greater degree of organization possible. Greater degree of organization is valuable to my organization, because we have many sessions to handle."
"We like the fact that on our website we can have the ConnectWise bit embedded, and it has instructions for the end-user about what they need to do. Previously, on LogMeIn, we used to have to almost talk them through everything... ConnectWise has step-by-step instructions, depending on the browser."
"Setup was very straightforward. All I had to do was write a GPO on my domain controller and it automatically installed the agent that I downloaded from the software. I literally had to do nothing."
"It's very low maintenance."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Policy and app deployment should be faster, as it currently takes between minutes to hours to apply, with an average of one hour."
"The worst aspect is the reporting."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"Improvements are needed in Microsoft Intune's enterprise app management, including support for more applications in app patching, boot batching, and discovery. I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function. Our customers need that capability, or they will buy it from a third party at a premium."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"The product is expensive."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"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."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"For the price we pay, we definitely feel it's worth it, but there are some contenders in the market that are coming out now, whose products are as good; they are offering more features and the price is actually less than ConnectWise. All things considered, the biggest thing is the lack of patching in ConnectWise. If they could integrate that into the product, that would be a game changer, if offered at the same price point."
"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"It is priced fairly."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
