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.

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.

Inexpensive with useful screen monitoring and screen sharing capabilities
I'm using the latest version of the solution. I'd recommend others switch over to Zoho. It's flexible and highly efficient while being very user-friendly. If users have remote sessions, it's quite useful; however, if there are no remote sessions needed, the solution itself isn't very useful. I'd rate the product nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Intune is the user-friendly portal for end users."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"Intune has significantly benefited our organization by providing comprehensive visibility into our device ecosystem."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"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 is a very secure product."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime."
"Technical support is easy to reach."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
 

Cons

"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"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."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"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."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"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 product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"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."
"​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.​"
"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 licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
