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.

Secure web access for guest users has transformed how we protect servers without device agents
Apache Guacamole can be improved as the documentation is really okay. It's written in very good detail. However, there's a problem in that it is written in too much detail and doesn't take you step-by-step. We did have some minor issues, such as there was some gap in mentioning how to install it and how to make and compile the file which they have posted on the repository. We had to figure it out, and once we got that knowledge, we were able to speed up our process. I think that the documentation wasn't that well written. There were gaps in it. It was well written but not written step-by-step. They can improve Apache Guacamole's UI. We didn't use their UI and use our own UI instead, but their UI can be improved. Simple is also good but it can be improved.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It works pretty well for us."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"Advanced endpoint analytics provides granular information about devices in Microsoft Intune, facilitating easier troubleshooting at system and application levels."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"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."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"The main impact Apache Guacamole had on my team's efficiency was that they did not need to access any server or anything else, because instead of performing several clicks to access a machine and needing to know where it was located, its full name, or the IP address, we were able to create groups and folders where machines were all properly organized and easy to access."
"Apache Guacamole helped us cross that boundary, and leveraging that technology, we were able to expand our product surface area and the customers we can access."
"One of the advantages is that it helps to simplify and fasten the processes, so the workflow goes much faster."
"Apache Guacamole is really easy to use."
"Apache Guacamole has positively impacted our organization because we are able to give access to Windows instances easily."
"I believe Apache Guacamole is the best option on the market at the moment because it is free."
"I'm using Apache Guacamole as a gateway."
"Apache Guacamole thus far has been both open source, simple to use, easy to set up, quick, and it makes it easy for me to provision systems as well."
"The solution is perfect for Linux users."
"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 best features of Rocket Exceed TurboX are that it works reasonably well and is easy to set up."
"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."
 

Cons

"Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable; sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"I would say the interface and dashboard summarizing the devices' status and compliance could be improved."
"The technical support by Microsoft is not so good. We have to manage many things by ourselves and do not receive responses in a timely manner."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"Microsoft Intune works well with Windows devices and partially with iOS and Android, but it faces compatibility issues with Mac and Linux devices; this is an area where Microsoft needs improvement."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be."
"The MacBook management could be better."
"I would give Apache Guacamole an eight out of ten because there have been moments where I faced some networking issues with it, where connections were a problem, and sometimes the login and logout processes were issues as well."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization."
"I think that the documentation wasn't that well written."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization. Even though I can try customizing the GUI, the documentation is not comprehensive."
"I gave it a nine because some very advanced features such as session recording and clipboard functionality are still not available on Apache Guacamole, though they are available on Citrix."
"There is no customer support for Apache Guacamole."
"In my opinion, Apache Guacamole can be improved with USB access, a native client, and enhanced browser access, which would be beneficial."
"The solution's USB redirection could be improved."
"We have concerns about network speed and security settings."
"It seems to work better than the original solution, but it still does not meet the standards I wanted."
"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."
"The performance of the graphical interface needs improvement. They should add some CPU to speed graphic acceleration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"It is not expensive."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."
