Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Secure remote access has transformed global support and simplified cross-platform collaboration
BeyondTrust Remote Support has good features that are not available in other apps, including rebooting without disconnection and the ALT + CTRL + deletion function. It's easier for data transfer, and multiple people can join a session easily. I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user. I would add that the zoom function allows us to zoom, but you can't particularly move around once you have zoomed in. Additionally, sometimes a remote connection cannot be established for unknown reasons, even if the host machine is clearly online. I have noticed that BeyondTrust ABS can sometimes be challenging to navigate, but it's no more challenging than other competitors.

Able to boot into safe mode or standard mode remotely and reliable performance
I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Generally for the organization, Microsoft Intune has been a good investment for managing a lot of the company resources, saving a lot of money compared to using the on-premises version of the software."
"Technical support is good."
"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."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"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."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization by providing many benefits."
"Intune is a very good cloud solution for managing devices."
"Having a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere is a good feature."
"The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"Before Bomgar, we spent 80% of the time running from building to building and to the campus installing the software, also training employees."
"Session monitoring is valuable for users to record whatever actions administrators perform within the system, so management can easily understand the working level and ensure that no suspicious activities occur."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime."
"Bomgar brand, or now BeyondTrust's brand reputation is great; it is very strong, it's an undisputed global leader."
"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."
"The SOS Support is a most valuable feature, as we have remote access from our phone, there is no need to install the software, and we can do it on the cloud."
"In contrast, Splashtop is a really good product and it's not so expensive."
"The file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."
"The solution is very fast."
"Splashtop Remote Support is my main product, and I use it daily. Its main function is to control systems, which is essential remotely. Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable."
 

Cons

"The support is not very good. It's very poor."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"Microsoft Intune is a very strong platform, but there are still some areas where it could improve."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"In my opinion, Microsoft Intune has room for improvement. The pricing could be a little better, and the reporting could be a little better as well."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"Policy and app deployment should be faster, as it currently takes between minutes to hours to apply, with an average of one hour."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer."
"It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions. We've had to sacrifice voice."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"BeyondTrust Remote Support can be improved in that using this tool when a system is infected with malware is challenging."
"They currently don't have remote access control to Chromebooks, and I think they should start doing that."
"The Remote support solution based on Bomgar has physical appliances deployed and leveraged to serve our multiple customers. Aging appliances are going RMA now and then."
"I rate it an eight because of the licensing issue. I know it is expensive, and if we have multiple support people on a shift, we have to log out to release the license."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."
"The integration features could be better."
"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
"I'm not sure if I can recommend the solution as I'm not sure if it's a fit for me."
"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."
"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"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 is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"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 solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"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 pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."
"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."
"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."
