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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"Intune's most valuable features are its device management capabilities, particularly its centralized integration with other Microsoft stack components."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible."
"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"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."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"Remote desktop sharing is one valuable feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer Tensor is the remote access."
"This product is very simple to use and you can connect whether you are behind a firewall or not."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"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."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"The SSO feature of the solution may sometimes not function perfectly…Pricing might be improved for TeamViewer Tensor."
"The solution could include more AI (Artificial Intelligence)."
"Having the ability to create subgroups and delegate permissions to the group members would be a helpful addition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side."
"I rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."
