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.
Muljo Witono - PeerSpot reviewer
Secure, reliable, and great for remote access
It makes access very easy. If we have to work at night or after office hours, if customers report a problem, we can solve issues remotely, outside of office hours, from wherever. The initial setup is straightforward. The solution is stable. It is scalable. Technical support is easy to reach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand."
"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."
"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"When comparing Microsoft Intune to Jamf, Microsoft Intune is superior."
"This is a very secure product."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"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."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"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."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
"Technical support is easy to reach."
"It is a scalable solution. "
 

Cons

"The user interface should be more user-friendly, as it can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Microsoft often relocates features, making it difficult to consistently find what I need."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"The support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"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."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"​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.​"
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"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."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
