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.

Secure remote access has transformed global support and simplified cross-platform collaboration
BeyondTrust Remote Support has good features that are not available in other apps, including rebooting without disconnection and the ALT + CTRL + deletion function. It's easier for data transfer, and multiple people can join a session easily. I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user. I would add that the zoom function allows us to zoom, but you can't particularly move around once you have zoomed in. Additionally, sometimes a remote connection cannot be established for unknown reasons, even if the host machine is clearly online. I have noticed that BeyondTrust ABS can sometimes be challenging to navigate, but it's no more challenging than other competitors.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As an IT administrator, I appreciate Intune's ability to implement granular device-level policies for our organization's employees."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the user-friendly portal for end users."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is quite good because there's not much disturbance in the background; it's just running in the background."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."
"Using Azure and Intune has helped us resolve most of these issues, as we no longer need a physical infrastructure to manage systems and can push policies remotely while maintaining control over the devices."
"The most valuable feature is Intune's ability to push out updates for the security and antivirus. I also like Intune's copilot and the ability to automate processes. For example, if you have 5,000 employees who are issued new PCs and you need to set them up with everything they need."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"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 has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"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."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."
"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."
"If you are looking for an affordable solution for your business but want all the features of something you would expect to pay highly for, choose Vision Helpdesk! Trust me - you won't look back!"
 

Cons

"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"Not all technicians are knowledgeable of the Microsoft solution, so they have to work on that as well."
"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 is a very strong platform, but there are still some areas where it could improve."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved if we were able to remote and troubleshoot iOS products such as iPads."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"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."
"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 are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"Their live-chat support needs work."
"I think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"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."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"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."
"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."
"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
"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."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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 setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."
"This product provides value for money."
