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.
Muljo Witono - PeerSpot reviewer
Secure, reliable, and great for remote access
It makes access very easy. If we have to work at night or after office hours, if customers report a problem, we can solve issues remotely, outside of office hours, from wherever. The initial setup is straightforward. The solution is stable. It is scalable. Technical support is easy to reach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has significantly improved managing a diverse range of devices. We have observed enhancements across Android, iOS, and Windows devices."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"The best features of Microsoft Intune include helping to know if computers are configured correctly and if users have access to apps or the platform."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"Intune has significantly benefited our organization by providing comprehensive visibility into our device ecosystem."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"Technical support is easy to reach."
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
 

Cons

"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."
"Reporting can be better. Only global administrators can see detailed reports at the moment, and I don't want to use the global admin."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"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."
"We do not utilize Microsoft customer service and technical support since it is generally a waste of time."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"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."
"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."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"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."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"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."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"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."
"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 cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
