Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.
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.
Sanjay Patankar - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance
It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication.  It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good.  It's got a lot of resources for users.  The product is easy to install.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune helps the organization manage access to its internal apps, data, and resources."
"The best part of Intune is application deployment. We can deploy an application to several users with a single click. We can use conditional access, granting access to users based on certain conditions, such as location, platform, etc."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"It is a very helpful solution."
"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."
"The best part of Intune is device control. If we need to block a user from opening something in their organization's system, we can do it from Intune. If we want to restrict the movement of an organization's data to prevent users from copying the data into Outlook, WhatsApp, or their personal Gmail, we can limit that via Intune. It secures all corporate data."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"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."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"It's very secure, and it works very well. I like their remote support feature. It can be used for our clients' desktops or anywhere where the client can be working. I'd have to say the product is very good. It's a strong solution for us."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS."
"It's pretty easy to use. Just key in an ID and password and connect. For meetings, just enter the meeting ID and connect."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote into another device."
"The document control is quite good."
"I like that it helped a lot, even with low bandwidth network connectivity. For example, while I was traveling, sometimes there were requirements for me to join a TeamViewer session and provide technical support. I was able to do that without much of an issue. It is also a secure solution."
"With an image, you can see immediately what's going on. You can run some tests. Without the solution, you need to do everything by telephone. It's not even thinkable."
"This is a unique solution that is very easy to install."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."
"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."
 

Cons

"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"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."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer can improve by making the interface more user-friendly. It looks very basic, they can make it more modern and easy to use."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"It would be very helpful if they could provide a manual for the installation process and describe more of their features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"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."
"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
