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.

Remote design work has become smoother and adapts intelligently to changing bandwidth
The best features of Rocket Exceed TurboX are that it works reasonably well and is easy to set up. As the admin, I set up the server and tested it with different bandwidths. The solution performs better than VNC, though there is still lag in the one Mbps to four Mbps range. Rocket Exceed TurboX automatically adjusts the resolution according to the program that is running, which is their intellectual property. This intelligent adjustment is a significant advantage compared to VNC, where I had to set it to the lowest setting with poor resolution to achieve acceptable performance.

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

"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"We like Intune's Autopilot functionality, which enables one-touch deployment. Dynamic grouping is another feature we find valuable working in academia. We have people in buckets based on their roles in the university, such as faculty, staff, alum, or grad. Sometimes, they will fit into multiple places, and dynamic grouping helps with that."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"It is a stable solution."
"Microsoft Intune is a very effective solution from my understanding, and I definitely would recommend it."
"This product is great, it's easy to use and it can solve certain problems our remote users face, as employees in other cities and countries can easily access it and the solution is perfect for Linux users."
"The solution is perfect for Linux users."
"The most helpful feature of OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is that it allows you to consume heavy applications that usually have a lot of latency. I also like that the solution is fast and has a friendly UI."
"The best features of Rocket Exceed TurboX are that it works reasonably well and is easy to set up."
"Recently I needed to remotely access the software at my office, and I was able to connect using the software and access the information I needed within a minute or two, rather than having to drive to the office to get into the computer system."
"It has been a game-changer for my workflow."
"Engineers have quick, usable access to clients' infrastructure, which was not so easy with GoToMeeting."
"The product works very well and is easy for end users to install."
"At first, we switched because of the better price but now we are are using this product happily."
"We switched over from LogMeIn Rescue, which was okay but became very expensive, and while ConnectWise is our backup method and we don't use it as much as we do our RMM software and remote support, it has definitely really helped in terms of speed and ease."
"If you are looking for a quick and easy web-based connection session without the need to be on intranet, then this is the solution for you."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good, bandwidth is excellent."
 

Cons

"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"The platform is incredibly slow and could be more responsive. Specifically, when making changes to security policies, I would like to see those changes take effect more quickly."
"The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"An area for improvement in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is the installation process because you need some technical knowledge to install it. What's lacking in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is a help portal for users to ask questions and seek assistance."
"It seems to work better than the original solution, but it still does not meet the standards I wanted."
"The performance of the graphical interface needs improvement. They should add some CPU to speed graphic acceleration."
"We have concerns about network speed and security settings."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"However, the main issue I have seen with it is that, if they are having issues with their web browsers or network, there is really no way to connect with it."
"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
"The previous version of ScreenConnect was so old that it was blocked by Windows Defender, SmartScreen, and most anti-virus applications."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"Mobile interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"The product is 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."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"Pricing for OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is five out of ten. It's not that expensive, and it's not that affordable."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"It is priced fairly."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"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."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"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."
