Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It works pretty well for us."
"Endpoint Manager has been around the longest, it's survived, it's matured and it's the top dog in general."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"The automatic patch management feature in the Intune Suite is helpful."
"Microsoft Intune not only saves costs by reducing the number of personnel needed but also offers a comprehensive solution for managing laptops, applications, security, individual access, and enrollment."
"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"This is the most stable product on the market."
"Easy access to all my servers from one stop."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"I used the solution for my internal environment and it was stable and efficient when connecting with the customer."
"We have used other solutions, but Bomgar has a superior security architecture compared to the competition and lets us control remote access in a granular manner."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."
"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."
"If you are looking for an affordable solution for your business but want all the features of something you would expect to pay highly for, choose Vision Helpdesk! Trust me - you won't look back!"
 

Cons

"The reporting causes problems because we're trying to gather data to present to the management, but we can't get the data they request. If a user has removed an application from his device, but it won't report it at exactly the right time. It takes time to sync from the device to the portal. Let's say we are preparing a list or deck for the number of compliant devices that meet all of the organization's requirements. In a real-time scenario, that device could be compliant, but it is showing as non-compliant on the portal. It sometimes hampers the overall decisions that we make on our end."
"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."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities. This is an area I believe needs improvement."
"The generic answer to what can be improved is that I hope that the reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"I switched away from Microsoft Intune because it cannot manage the MacBook very well."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"When we first purchased Bomgar, the support blew me away. Over the last two or three years however, it dropped off."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising."
"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."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising. The Web rep console introduced is a marked improvement, but is currently not at feature parity with the thick client. This is being worked on."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"I think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."
"Their live-chat support needs work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us."
"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 purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"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."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
