Everything has worked better since we started using it

Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

User-friendly and easily accessible, but cost could be made cheaper

We use Citrix Workspace on Citrix Cloud. We have all of our servers on the AWS public cloud. There are a number of tools that we can implement that would save us costs. However, we've stuck to Citrix for convenience. If the prices keep increasing, we will have to consider other solutions. Users need to understand the tool's limitations correctly and what they require from a usability perspective. They should also understand the configuration of security policies. In some cases, people are unable to download or upload files onto their PCs, which is necessary for them to do their work. Users should understand the limitations of the product or the configuration options. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Easy setup and effective support

I am with the company that sells LogMeIn Rescue. So, we engage with end customers, enterprise customers, manufacturing customers, BFSI customers, and healthcare customers. We try to find their use cases and provision our solution accordingly. For instance, if someone is in manufacturing and wants…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune is best for Windows devices and security in Office 365 and Microsoft-related enterprise environments. It's a nice platform for endpoint management."

"We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use."

"The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are."

"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."

"The compliance and configuration policies in Microsoft Intune are the most valuable features, saving significant time compared to manual implementation."

"Previously, SCCM was used as an on-premise solution for clients, but now they are moving to Microsoft Intune as a cloud solution with better security and functions."

"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."

"I mainly use Microsoft Intune analytics for taking that data that exists and bringing it into Power BI dashboards to make it visible to our clients, showing them all the operating systems in their environment and where the latest patches are, and then from there creating plans."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"I can access it from anywhere."

"The Provisioning Services are the most valuable feature. We have Premium licensing, so Provisioning Services is huge for us, along with the Virtual Apps and Desktops part. It allows us to have a vDisk for every region, one that can easily be copied between them if we need to, to limit the amount of updates we have to do."

"The tool helps me to connect with some apps of our company and resolve the tickets."

"The product is simple to set up, and its deep integration with Microsoft is also a valuable feature."

"Its user-friendliness is most valuable. It was easy to log in and navigate. Some of such solutions are not very user-friendly, but this one was."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it supports team clients."

"Citrix is used by many organizations to make it possible to streamline the way different developers work together from different locations."

"I use Citrix DaaS to connect to devices."

More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) pros

"Being able to reboot computers into safe mode, when needed. That has come in handy in regards to IT troubleshooting."

"If an issue happens, we're able to log in at the time that it happens and address it , so there's minimal downtime."

"It works with different operating systems, I can connect to a PC or Mac."

"It is very straightforward to set up, use, install, and transfer sessions."

"The initial setup was straightforward and simple. We did not have any training. We just installed it and were able to use it right away."

"it's very easy to use, it's very efficient."

"The time it takes to troubleshoot one of our users is cut significantly."

"For people whose computers we maintain, we can have those computers on file. Without having somebody to invite us, we can actually log in automatically, and that’s unlimited."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

Cons

"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."

"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."

"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."

"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. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."

"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."

"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."

"There were several bugs with stability."

"The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"It is slow. When everybody is logged in, it does have a tendency to slow down. You can tell the connectivity slows down a little bit, but it's still a good product."

"The cost of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is high and has room for improvement."

"Pricing and technical support need improvement."

"For us, pricing is the most important feature to improve."

"It is not easy to set up."

"There are a lot of shortfalls with supporting printing over XenApp."

"There is room for improvement because it has a lot of dependency on Active Directory and other things. If they could come up with something similar and native, a complete solution portfolio would help."

"I heard that Citrix found some loopholes in the product, and they have yet to be covered up."

More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) cons

"Secondly, the product needs improvement on mobile interfaces because on mobile devices it doesn't perform very well. On computers, it is good, with desktops, laptops, it is good. Sometimes iPad is good, but going with other devices, like Android or Windows on smart phones, it's always a problem."

"We are currently supporting Linux, but there are certain limitations. We are currently working on improving Linux support and addressing certain limitations in the roadmap."

"They need to combine computer and mobile end-user support to be a more streamlined experience."

"Their ability to support mobile has been really problematic. I've seen other products that have done a better job in supporting mobile products. LogMeIn has just never been able to come up to par there, and that would be a detractor. They've been talking about supporting mobile for 10-plus years, and I really haven't seen any improvement on that."

"Nothing's perfect but I think it's really a great tool just the way it is. The suggestion that I made to them at their user advisory board is that they combine the two products, Rescue and Central, into one because you really should have both. A bunch of the other people in that meeting very much liked that."

"I do wish there was an application to manage all of the admin properties of the subscription, rather than having to use the web portal."

"The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."

"You should be able to remote on an iPhone like you remote on an Android. It is not the same experience. Unless you are very savvy on iOS, you are pretty much lost."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."

"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."

"Pricing can be improved."

"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."

"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."

"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"I think it is a little high priced."

"The tool is expensive."

"Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is an expensive solution."

"Citrix solutions cost a lot in comparison with competitors, like Azure Virtual Desktop or VMware Horizon. Those solutions cost around 50 to 60 percent less, per month per user, than Citrix."

"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price a three."

"The solution is expensive and I give the cost a four out of ten."

"The Citrix license model has changed. It costs around $240 per user for a single username, but a concurrent license costs double."

"It is quite expensive, but so are the competitors on the market."

More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) pricing and cost advice

"It's definitely worth the value."

"It is on the medium to high side. For us, it is worth it. For the amount of time they save us, it pretty much pays for itself."

"Pricing is reasonable and easily offsets other costs, while resolving issues in a much quicker timeframe."

"The pricing is a little on the higher side, though."

"Right now, I'm using ScreenConnect, which is about $45 per technician. Unless I buy LogMeIn with a large license and commit for the long-term and prepay, I will have to pay almost $120 per user a month. It's almost three times the price over the normal price for ScreenConnect, which is very similar in regards to all of the features that LogMeIn Rescue can do."

"The only downside is pricing. I think each technician license is somewhere around $100 or $120 a month now. So if you have a lot of technicians, it can get expensive, for a small business."

"The pricing is worth the value."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
