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.

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

"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."

"Overall, the stability is good."

"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."

"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."

"The solution’s most valuable feature is its ease of use."

"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The vendor's reliability provides me with peace of mind. Over the 10-plus years, we've literally had no issues with it going down or with it causing any problems or causing issues when our end-users are trying to get access to it."

"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."

"LogMeIn is a remote tool that I use for remote solutions."

"I tried different software out there and LogMeIn Rescue has the best compatibility. Something else might work, but you have conflict with so many networks. LogMeIn has the best ratio of almost 99% connection. Whereas, with some other software, you are lucky if you get 80%."

"It allows us to rapidly solve issues for our customers on a remote basis, regardless of the location of the customer."

"There’s something called the dial-in so for people that use us all the time, we can have an icon on their screen and they can click that icon and we connect to them."

"Ability to save a permanent remote connection, hold, and/or transfer."

"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."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

"The product is really easy to deploy."

"Being able to flip quickly between however many monitors that I have running, detune the video for black and white, or with fewer colors to make it faster, is amazing."

"I previously used TeamViewer and Chrome Remote Desktop, and ScreenConnect beats out both as it's easier to use than Windows Remote Desktop (outside of a local network) and it's less expensive than TeamViewer."

"The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance."

"It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."

"We took a crack at ScreenConnect and we really liked what we saw and how it worked properly."

"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."

"Setup was very straightforward. All I had to do was write a GPO on my domain controller and it automatically installed the agent that I downloaded from the software. I literally had to do nothing."

More ScreenConnect pros

Cons

"During the onboarding of Microsoft Intune, we faced the problem that the policies were not getting synced."

"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."

"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."

"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."

"The solution does require maintenance, and it is complex to maintain, especially regarding updates, patching, and releases."

"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."

"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."

"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."

"Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network, what good is the product?"

"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."

"You should be able to remote on an iPhone like you remote on an Android. It is not the same experience. Unless you are very savvy on iOS, you are pretty much lost."

"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."

"The interface is not user-friendly. It looks a little outdated. I think the options are there. I think just the layout needs improvement."

"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."

"They need to combine computer and mobile end-user support to be a more streamlined experience."

More LogMeIn Rescue cons

"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."

"The only issues I’ve dealt with are display issues when the end user has a dual monitor setup."

"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."

"Support for PAC files on the guest's side and support for proxy on the host's side. Currently, there is no support for guest-side PAC files or for the host-side proxy (which uses authentication)."

"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."

"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise."

"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."

"Setting up permissions and groups in the portal is NOT simple or intuitive by any stretch."

More ScreenConnect cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."

"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."

"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."

"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."

"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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 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."

"Pricing is reasonable and easily offsets other costs, while resolving issues in a much quicker timeframe."

"I did look into a couple of other products, TeamViewer in particular, at one point. The price point of Rescue, compared to some of the other things that are in the marketplace right now, is high. But it's what I would call the "Cadillac" of the industry."

"The rescue model is licensed by user."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More LogMeIn Rescue pricing and cost advice

"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."

"We pay an annual licensing fee."

"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."

"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."

"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."

"It is priced fairly."

"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."

"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
