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.

Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution
The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are transforming our flat network by adopting different cloud solutions, and our own applications are hosted in the cloud. Intune ensures our security throughout our entire cloud-based system, improving our security posture."
"We are a Microsoft 365 E5 customer and the product promises the capabilities that we need and is available without additional cost."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"If they have Office 365 or Azure, Intune is by far the best choice."
"The insights, even though we're talking about charts and graphs, are super valuable to customers who might not otherwise know what's in their ecosystem or the current state of things within their ecosystem."
"Microsoft Intune is a cloud solution and we can manage everything, including Azure AD, Intune, and not only mobile hand devices, such as iOS or Android, but with the main focus on workstations, which is what makes the solution powerful."
"Intune has significantly benefited our organization by providing comprehensive visibility into our device ecosystem."
"It is much easier to deploy software updates and Windows updates globally because of the cloud base, so I can manage from anywhere, making it quite convenient for me."
"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."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"One of the most convenient features is that I can print from it and do everything as I would if I were sitting at my own desktop."
"The installation is almost instant."
"Technical support is very good and very fast; we find them to be very knowledgeable."
"The technical support is good."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"The solution is very quick to set up."
"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."
 

Cons

"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"Microsoft Intune has potential for improvement; I would like to see a lot more customization in the reporting tools."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins. We continue to experience issues with machines losing their hybrid domain join status."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"At the moment, we need more flexibility. We have some offices migrating to Windows 11 remotely. Sometimes, it is difficult to manage image installation because we have to collect some information before starting image deployment. Currently, Intune cannot collect the information needed for deploying new images."
"I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process."
"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."
"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 only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"This solution requires that the PC is "on" in order to reach it remotely. If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"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 cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
Information not available
"We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."
"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
