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.

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.

Implement service management changes while addressing UI improvements
Topdesk's user interface makes it easy to handle requests and escalate them to other groups or reassign them when working on a single ticket. Additionally, the service management tool in HR allows for a change in delivering services, replacing email communication with ticket raising. The knowledge library enables the local HR to store and share relevant information and frequently asked cases, enhancing collaboration. The ticket system also facilitates escalating cases to other involved departments. IT, HR, and some other teams primarily use this system.

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 are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"I have no issues with the scalability and ability to expand Microsoft Intune."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"This is a very secure product."
"The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either."
"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"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."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"Solution has a good UI."
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is its ease of use if you have implemented it in the right way. If you're not implementing it in the right way, then it's very difficult."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module."
"TOPdesk is overall very stable."
"Its ITSM approach is quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."
"Change management is the most critical feature."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
 

Cons

"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."
"A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing."
"Sometimes, it takes time to synchronize the policies between the portal and the devices, you don't have a way to estimate how long it will take to deploy. You have some kind of gray area, where it can deploy in 30 minutes or three days."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process."
"From an end-user perspective of Microsoft Intune, I haven't experienced any challenges since installation. However, some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"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."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"From a UI perspective, there is room for improvement. It sometimes takes many steps to do something simple, like creating or moving a knowledge item."
"One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information."
"All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes."
"The solution's change management could be better."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
"This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"The cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
"TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not expensive."
"There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
"Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
