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 setup and effective support
I am with the company that sells LogMeIn Rescue. So, we engage with end customers, enterprise customers, manufacturing customers, BFSI customers, and healthcare customers. We try to find their use cases and provision our solution accordingly. For instance, if someone is in manufacturing and wants…

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution 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

"If you are looking for endpoint protection and compliance, Microsoft Intune is definitely a go-to product."
"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"First of all, the integration with the rest of Microsoft's products is a major win."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"It's really easy to access."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."
"Being able to transfer files quickly and easily via the remote file manager."
"It is very straightforward to set up, use, install, and transfer sessions."
"The multiple connect methods really help with users who are not tech savvy or knowledgeable about their own computers."
"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."
"Rescue is a mission-critical tool with the way it allows you to do stuff, get in there, get out, and get the job done."
"With the product, I have never had an issue with it. I have never had to look up anything or call anyone."
"It has a feature that, when you take over the machine, you can get into the system administrator level. We’re able to tweak things on the machine as if we’re sitting there."
"The desktop sharing allows our clients to demonstrate the issue they are having, and then allows us to provide remediation directly."
"It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."
"Ease of use is good, it's very easy to use, very easy to understand."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"Session groups and triggers are the most valuable features, because they make a greater degree of organization possible. Greater degree of organization is valuable to my organization, because we have many sessions to handle."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"Unattended access is the most important feature."
"Remote connect via webpage. I use it to support employees when I am not in the office or when they are at a remote location."
"We are more efficient at resolving end-user tickets as a result of implementing this product, with our ticket count lower and our ticket throughput increased because now we just click a button to connect and we're off and running."
 

Cons

"Management of Linux devices from Microsoft Intune would be great. Then we can manage any device and not only Windows and Apple."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"Reporting in Microsoft Intune presents challenges because the built-in reports are often too basic."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment. While it works very well for Microsoft users but if you have other kinds of operating systems, it's very painful to use."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"Microsoft Intune could improve its reporting depth and make some policy configurations less complex, especially for hybrid environments."
"They have raised their price so high on all their products, it has left room for competitors to come in."
"The billing team was poor when fixing their billing mistake and customer service was missing in action."
"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."
"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 occasionally need to reboot my computer after using LogMeIn, due to an issue with IE. It stops responding to keyboard input every once in a while, after disconnecting from a session. A reboot resolves it."
"The one big problem that I have with LogMeIn Rescue is, I use a Mac. All my technicians use PCs. I use a Mac, and the Mac agent crashes at least once a day. I have to stop it and start it again. To date, I don’t have a problem with people using PC. I think the Mac app that they have needs to be improved."
"As a whole, I am still a little disappointed with the mobile side of it."
"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."
"The only issues I’ve dealt with are display issues when the end user has a dual monitor setup."
"Mobile interface."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
"My immediate supervisor said it was lacking in documentation and had too many words to describe how to use the product when crafting instructions to send to our third party consultant who was going to connect to our system behind our firewall."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"I thought it was a little bit difficult to set up, it was complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"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"
"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."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."
"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 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.​"
"While LogMeIn Rescue is a great product and a leader in the industry, it's way pricey. Price is the most negative thing about LogMeIn Rescue."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The cost of LogMeIn is high... I went with another product that was going to give me savings of 50%. One technician tested it, he gave us the thumbs up. Then once we moved all my technicians to it, but it didn’t work... Trying to move from LogMeIn hindered our performance and productivity and it was not worth the savings."
"It's definitely worth the value."
"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need.​"
"The pricing is worth the value."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"For the price we pay, we definitely feel it's worth it, but there are some contenders in the market that are coming out now, whose products are as good; they are offering more features and the price is actually less than ConnectWise. All things considered, the biggest thing is the lack of patching in ConnectWise. If they could integrate that into the product, that would be a game changer, if offered at the same price point."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"The cloud version is relatively inexpensive, but the on-premise version is expensive if you do not need three technicians, only one or two for concurrent sessions."
"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
"I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
