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.

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.

Good tech support
The location markings can appear incorrectly. If the customer shows his location on camera, on our machinery, but then moves it to another location and, subsequently, back to the original one, the location markings will appear incorrectly. We are talking about the augmented reality features. While I recommend the solution, the customer may face difficulties with screen sharing, such as occurs with our customers when it comes to working in an infrastructured area like a factory. We regularly get confused, as we also provide remote technical support. The initial setup is complex.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Intune include remote updates. The update runs in the background, so there's no need in most cases to go on-site to do it."
"The biggest asset is the range of device management options available with Intune, whether it is a Windows device, a Linux device, a Mac device, or mobile devices."
"Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch."
"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"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."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"The solution is stable."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"It's easy enough to use."
"Technical support has good responsiveness."
 

Cons

"The synchronization could be improved."
"I assess the stability of the product as low. I have faced downtime crashes and performance issues with Microsoft Intune."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive."
"It could offer more attributes for authentication."
"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."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions. We've had to sacrifice voice."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"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."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"The location markings can appear incorrectly."
"It's quite power-hungry and some customers complain that it drains the batteries on their smartphones very quickly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"Pricing can be improved."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
"​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.​"
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"This product provides value for money."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"It is not an expensive product."
"We pay for the licensing monthly."
