Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Easy to deploy with great security and responsive support
The security on offer is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It offers, for example, two-factor authentification. The remote connection across platforms is great. You can deploy it on anything, including Windows, Mac, iOS, your iPhone, et cetera. It offers multi-platform utility. This makes it great for enterprise. Users can use it for PAM access as well. The feature of Devolutions that has improved our customer's efficiency the most is probably the security side. It's gotten a lot tighter. Authentication and secure connections are helpful. They use encryption between them, which is just standard for them. The company has so many regulatory controls that they must ensure their security is very tight. There's a lot of potential cybercrime around casinos, and this solution ensures they are well-protected. Devolutions is a great product that can be safely used between China, Australia, or the Philippines, and it remains a good, safe product.

A highly stable and scalable remote tool that can be used for remote solutions
LogMeIn is a remote tool that I use for remote solutions The solution’s pricing could be improved. We are a service integrator and have been using LogMeIn Rescue for quite a while now. I rate LogMeIn Rescue ten out of ten for stability. Our customers are mostly medium and enterprise…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune is far more efficient and faster than MECM."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable and our clients are satisfied."
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"What I have found most useful in Microsoft Intune is creating an environment where customers or clients need someone to work immediately with an out-of-box experience."
"It really helps to have all the data already pre-entered and all I have to do is enter the password."
"Organizing credentials, connections, and contents by clients makes it so simple for someone to provide support."
"There is not a day that goes by that I do not use the tool."
"One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more."
"Being able to aggregate all connections (RDP, FTP, SSH, VPN, etc.) in the same interface and make each server readily available in the same way, which lets me focus on the problem regardless of where it is."
"I was able to maintain connections to over 400 different servers and services using password best practices."
"It saves a lot of time for all of our IT staff from having to just use the RDP Windows client and reenter each server every time we access a different system."
"By integrating all our connections previously spread across multiple locations, a lot of time has been saved."
"​The initial setup was straightforward and simple. We did not have any training. We just installed it and were able to use it right away.​"
"Before we were using this, everything either had to be in-person, or one computer at a time, and this has allowed us to access multiple computers, share between technicians, and support everybody inside and outside our company simultaneously."
"it's very easy to use, it's very efficient."
"If an issue happens, we're able to log in at the time that it happens and address it , so there's minimal downtime."
"No issues with scalability. It is a fairly simple model. If I wanted to add five more, I would just buy five more people and licenses, apply the program to their computers, and give them their login."
"The solution has been in the market for the past 20 years. For us, it is one of the best tools."
"I am a one man support show, so it gives flexibility to be in more than one place at a time, and I could be working at seven people's desks from one location, which is pretty useful and helpful."
"From my perspective and my experience, LogMeIn is already at a 10 out of 10; everything else that I would like is just icing on the cake, it really is fluff."
 

Cons

"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"Back in 2020, there were significant problems with report accuracy, particularly regarding web patching."
"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."
"Microsoft Intune could improve its reporting and troubleshooting tools since diagnosing policy sync and deployment issues can still feel a bit complicated at times."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"In Microsoft Intune, enhancements can be done as part of some EPM cost because it is high per policy."
"There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
"The console is a little bit clunky."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"I wish this product was tied to a Help Desk package so I could manage tickets and have an infrastructure, with this being the primary tool to troubleshoot."
"The billing team was poor when fixing their billing mistake and customer service was missing in action."
"I would like to see a mobile client that would work on an iPad, so I do not always have to be on a PC or a full-blown Mac operating system."
"I do wish there was an application to manage all of the admin properties of the subscription, rather than having to use the web portal."
"I would like a single sign on for all of our (five) accounts so that I can immediately use an available seat. Right now, I have to try to log in with each account separately, in an attempt to find an available license that is not currently in use."
"Their ability to support mobile has been really problematic. I've seen other products that have done a better job in supporting mobile products. LogMeIn has just never been able to come up to par there, and that would be a detractor. They've been talking about supporting mobile for 10-plus years, and I really haven't seen any improvement on that."
"Secondly, the product needs improvement on mobile interfaces because on mobile devices it doesn't perform very well. On computers, it is good, with desktops, laptops, it is good. Sometimes iPad is good, but going with other devices, like Android or Windows on smart phones, ​it's always a problem."
"​The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"It is not expensive."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"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."
"The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."
"Setup costs for most people is negligible."
"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."
"The pricing is worth the value."
"​The rescue model is licensed by user."
"The only downside is pricing. I think each technician license is somewhere around $100 or $120 a month now. So if you have a lot of technicians, it can get expensive, for a small business."
"It's definitely worth the value."
"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need.​"
"It is ​on the medium to high side. For us, it is worth it. For the amount of time they save us, it pretty much pays for itself.​"
"The pricing is a little on the higher side, though.​"
"Right now, I'm using ScreenConnect, which is about $45 per technician. Unless I buy LogMeIn with a large license and commit for the long-term and prepay, I will have to pay almost $120 per user a month. It's almost three times the price over the normal price for ScreenConnect, which is very similar in regards to all of the features that LogMeIn Rescue can do."
