Featured Reviews

AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.
Anil  Rao - PeerSpot reviewer
Have reduced L1 dependency and improved incident resolution through AI-powered automation
To make ServiceNow better, they should reduce their pricing, especially because there's a lot of competition. Many customers have moved to ManageEngine because they cannot afford the license cost. The price should be reduced by at least 40%. The setup of ServiceNow is sometimes complex when new updates or versions are released. When they introduce something new, they should provide training to understand the new features and their functionality. We sometimes get stuck and have to call them to learn about the changes in the latest version. They should communicate the changes made from older versions to new versions, which features are not available, which features have changed, and how to implement them. If the communication part was handled properly, it would benefit us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"It is a cloud solution, and you can easily scale as your needs grow."
"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability."
"Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security."
"I mainly use Microsoft Intune analytics for taking that data that exists and bringing it into Power BI dashboards to make it visible to our clients, showing them all the operating systems in their environment and where the latest patches are, and then from there creating plans."
"Intune is valuable for managing various endpoints and integrating with the Azure cloud, which is essential for our organization."
"Intune has significantly benefited our organization by providing comprehensive visibility into our device ecosystem."
"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset. The meet-in-the-middle remote control functionality bypassed a lot of network restrictions that hampered our previous solution, enabling a far wider reach to our end-users."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"It can scale well if you are managing IT assets."
"The workflow makes things extremely efficient and it improves effectiveness."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"You can have it installed and up and running within hours if you know what you're doing. Time to market would be one of the main things to consider."
"I think ServiceNow is highly stable. These kinds of tools are used in a big company, and I haven't seen any issues in terms of the core platform."
"The most valuable features of ServiceNow for me are its ticketing and reporting capabilities."
"It has more extensive features as compared to the other competitors."
"The analytics - we like to keep track of how much work everyone is doing."
 

Cons

"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"I rate Microsoft customer service six out of 10. While some technicians go above and beyond, there is inconsistency, and connecting with the most helpful representatives is occasionally challenging."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process."
"It could be more compatible with other applications. We had trouble with compatibility when it came to Entrust. This is because we had issues with Windows machines when we installed Entrust."
"It is expensive. Its initial setup was also a little bit involved, but it was nothing that we couldn't eventually handle. Currently, it has the ability to share screens. Somebody having an issue with their phone can share their screen with a technician sitting at a computer. It would be nice to also be able to control phones remotely, but this could be a limitation of a phone's operating system."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"The Remote support solution based on Bomgar has physical appliances deployed and leveraged to serve our multiple customers. Aging appliances are going RMA now and then."
"There is inherent complexity with this tool because of the number of things that it can do."
"Its stability and pricing need improvement."
"The interface can be a bit more intuitive."
"For healthcare, which is a pretty audited environment, there are no concrete solutions for digital signatures, apart from our license with Adobe, so it requires orchestration."
"The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly."
"Creating service catalog forms could be made easier."
"Currently, we are finding it a bit difficult to monitor the subscriptions that are being used. The reporting feature related to this can be improved. Its ITOM functionality can be improved. BMC does a better job than ServiceNow in terms of capturing utilization and other such things."
"I know that discovery tools are not meant to be simple, but somehow, if they could make it more simple and robust, that would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"The price is very reasonable."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"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."
"​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.​"
"I'm not aware of any additional costs. I'm pretty sure that the current client is paying just the licensing fee per user. I do know that they've got some support agreement with ServiceNow, but I don't think that is broken out or specific to Project Management. It is just inclusive."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
"For large-scale companies, the cost of ServiceNow is not expensive, but for small and mid-scale companies, it is higher."
"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
"The product cost is higher than that of other vendors."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
