Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune helps the organization manage access to its internal apps, data, and resources."
"Microsoft Intune is best for Windows devices and security in Office 365 and Microsoft-related enterprise environments. It's a nice platform for endpoint management."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"I appreciate how easy it is to deploy certificates to end users to get control over their device with Microsoft Intune; that's what Microsoft Intune is known for, and that's what we use them for."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."
"The solution is very fast."
"The file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."
"With the extended license, it's easy to be remote."
"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."
"The SOS Support is a most valuable feature, as we have remote access from our phone, there is no need to install the software, and we can do it on the cloud."
"Splashtop Remote Support is my main product, and I use it daily. Its main function is to control systems, which is essential remotely. Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable."
"In contrast, Splashtop is a really good product and it's not so expensive."
"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."
 

Cons

"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"Microsoft documentation is a bit hard to get around, so having more control over devices would be good."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"I switched away from Microsoft Intune because it cannot manage the MacBook very well."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"The integration features could be better."
"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."
"The integration features could be better."
"I'm not sure if I can recommend the solution as I'm not sure if it's a fit for me."
"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."
"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."
"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."
"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."
"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."
"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."
