Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Technique at Digitaltrack
Has improved security and enabled remote work flexibility across teams
The best features Check Point Remote Access VPN offers are its security features, which stand out to me. Whenever we are giving the remote access VPN to any employees or vendors, we can specify and control particular access. If we want to give access to a particular IP only, we can achieve that via this feature, and we also apply security features such as antivirus and anti-spyware while giving access to any employees or partners. The ability to control and specify access with Check Point Remote Access VPN, such as limiting to particular IPs or applying antivirus and anti-spyware, makes our environment safe from cyber threats and any types of malicious activities or accessing our private data. We control this through the feature by applying security policies that allow particular users. After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN solution, I can say that our productivity has maximized. Users are working from home and even working 24/7. If they want, they can access our resources at any time, providing flexibility to work from anywhere. Employees say that sometimes they are not available during the working hour, but they can work from home at their flexible timing, needing access to our private network resources. They sit at home or any remote site and connect to our network to work, which is very good.

Inexpensive with useful screen monitoring and screen sharing capabilities
I'm using the latest version of the solution. I'd recommend others switch over to Zoho. It's flexible and highly efficient while being very user-friendly. If users have remote sessions, it's quite useful; however, if there are no remote sessions needed, the solution itself isn't very useful. I'd rate the product nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier. It allows us to deploy applications, packages, Windows updates, and security updates like BitLocker encryption more efficiently and easily."
"Microsoft Intune has improved endpoint visibility, simplified remote device management, and helped standardize security policies across both corporate and remote devices."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"It is a wonderful product; I would advise others to go for it because it is definitely helpful for an enterprise and has been improving constantly."
"The best features of Microsoft Intune include continuous implementation of new capabilities each year, covering almost everything."
"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"It's cloud-based with no need for on-premise infrastructure, you can access it anywhere and start working on it, and you will have the record of data in your hand anytime if you need it quickly."
"The main value of Microsoft Intune is better asset management from a security perspective, ensuring that the security baseline is enforced on all devices, including mobile devices."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted our organization by enabling employees to securely access internal systems from anywhere, which has reduced downtime and made it easier to stay connected while traveling or working from home."
"Currently, Check Point is an ally that we have used within our organization to protect the perimeter area, the equipment, and other technologies."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has made my job easier because I don't need to worry about reaching the organization office and connecting to servers, as I am now free to work from anywhere and able to access the server securely and seamlessly."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"The security of the solution is a good feature, the stability is a valuable feature, and the customization is also a nice feature."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is a stable solution."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization by greatly increasing productivity because users are now working from anywhere, and even during leave, they can easily work at any time."
"The solution offers high scalability as far as adding more users."
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
"Technical support is easy to reach."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"For five years of using the product, there are no issues; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
 

Cons

"Technical support is not that great."
"The generic answer to what can be improved is that I hope that the reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer."
"Those are the two features that did not impress me much, and currently with other customers I am improving them with Microsoft directly."
"In my additional experience with Microsoft Intune, although it is a cloud environment, it still has some flaws."
"Yes, there are a couple of issues with stability."
"The solution's app deployment needs to be improved."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be more user-friendly."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"I think Check Point Remote Access VPN can be improved as it's more of an annoyance for a good number of the clients because it doesn't save their credentials."
"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"One area that could be improved is the complexity of setting up Check Point Remote Access VPN, particularly with features like multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and identity awareness. Deploying these solutions requires higher technical expertise than other solutions."
"With Check Point Remote Access VPN, performance issues occur; sometimes the connection speed can be slow, especially during peak hours."
"It needs to improve the capability of the Secure browser VPN connections."
"The interface itself needs improvement. When you need to create something, you have to go through a lot of steps. It needs to be simplified."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten. For the cost of one product, we could purchase two or three Fortinet solutions with the same amount of money."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Regarding pricing, as a global customer, we get a big discount. For us, it's a good return on investment. We need to pay for additional features we want to enable. It seems cheaper than other vendors, but I can't say what it would cost an average customer."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"My understanding is that the pricing and licensing are very competitive, and it's not one of their more expensive products. We buy licenses for the solution and have licenses for the endpoint servers."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
"My company makes yearly payments only towards the licensing costs attached to Check Point Remote Access VPN, as there are no extra costs attached to the product."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
