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.

Remote support has reduced client visits and saves us significant time and costs
The best features that AnyDesk offers in my experience are the remote control and remote access. Those features are valuable to me because of the ease in how you connect remotely without necessarily installing AnyDesk on your computer. You just download the application, open it, and it gives you your address. You share this with your colleague or client, and then in just one click you are connected. Another feature I appreciate about AnyDesk is security. If you are trying to do something that requires administrator rights of the computer that you are working on, it will alert you and request that the person on the other end accept the operation that you are doing. That security feature is excellent. AnyDesk has positively impacted my organization by helping us provide timely help to our clients. This reduces costs because we do not have to travel to the client to help them. I can connect remotely and help someone in a timely manner. I can share a specific outcome where, now that we have more than one hundred clients that we help, I estimate we have saved more than one hundred thousand dollars.

Secure remote access has transformed global support and simplified cross-platform collaboration
BeyondTrust Remote Support has good features that are not available in other apps, including rebooting without disconnection and the ALT + CTRL + deletion function. It's easier for data transfer, and multiple people can join a session easily. I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user. I would add that the zoom function allows us to zoom, but you can't particularly move around once you have zoomed in. Additionally, sometimes a remote connection cannot be established for unknown reasons, even if the host machine is clearly online. I have noticed that BeyondTrust ABS can sometimes be challenging to navigate, but it's no more challenging than other competitors.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"Their price is really good, which is the reason customers move here, because as part of the Office 365 package, they always get the E365 as well, which makes it easy for them to manage their devices without having additional licenses for Intune."
"It is very stable and scalable because this is a cloud-only solution."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"AnyDesk has positively impacted my organization by helping us provide timely help to our clients, reducing costs because we do not have to travel, and with more than one hundred clients I estimate we have saved more than one hundred thousand dollars."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"Bomgar is one of the most stable platforms I have ever used in the IT world."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"I used the solution for my internal environment and it was stable and efficient when connecting with the customer."
"Some of the valuable features are: Non-persistent agent: This is the most valuable feature as there is no permanent client agent on the end user's machine."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to reduce travel expenses for our IT technician by at least 50%."
"My advice to others looking into using BeyondTrust Remote Support is that for the years I've been working with the BeyondTrust team with multiple customers and environments, they've been consistently offering top-shelf support, whether your environment has 250 users or more than 25,000 users."
 

Cons

"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities. This is an area I believe needs improvement."
"An improvement I would like to see for AnyDesk is that the free package has quite a limitation that comes with many advertisements once you exhaust the number of connections."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising. The Web rep console introduced is a marked improvement, but is currently not at feature parity with the thick client. This is being worked on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"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."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"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."
Information not available
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"This product provides value for money."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
