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.
Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Ajit Pratap Kundan - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that needs to improve scalability but is useful to manage user
There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance, including the separation of duties of the users. In my company, we are not able to create a policy for the separation of duties of the users, so it is an area where improvement is required. The official authentication and fingerprint authentication should be part of VMware Identity Manager, and I feel these areas are currently missing. The scalability of the product needs to improve. The product should be tightly integrated with the third-party products because it's not like a customer is going to purchase all the VMware products, as they might have different solutions for different purposes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune's compliance features are valuable because they allow immediate visibility into ongoing situations."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"Microsoft Intune is reliable, scalable, and user-friendly."
"If any user tries to access company data, it directly interacts with the conditional access policy. This helps us protect our data and set the criteria for how data can be accessed and shared."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"The solution is stable."
"We like Intune's Autopilot functionality, which enables one-touch deployment. Dynamic grouping is another feature we find valuable working in academia. We have people in buckets based on their roles in the university, such as faculty, staff, alum, or grad. Sometimes, they will fit into multiple places, and dynamic grouping helps with that."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"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."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime."
"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
 

Cons

"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
"The reporting part needs improvement, and it would be beneficial if it could integrate with third-party tools instead of just Power BI."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"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."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"Static notes for hosts: If I could enter notes on a Jump Client and have them appear every time I connect to that Client, it would be a huge benefit."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"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."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"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."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"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."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"For most of the projects, we use the standard license but for complex ones, we use the older type of processes, integrations, and licenses inside the solution."
"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"For the moment, we have a multi-year contract, meaning that we cannot go with a different solution at this time even if the price should prove more favorable."
"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."
