Collaborations engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities

I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution 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

"One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch."

"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."

"Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept."

"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"

"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."

"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."

"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."

"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."

"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."

"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."

"It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues."

"It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."

"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."

"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."

"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect pros

"No issues with scalability. It is a fairly simple model. If I wanted to add five more, I would just buy five more people and licenses, apply the program to their computers, and give them their login."

"The most valuable feature is the ability for people to use LogMeIn's app that we install with our software, to bring us online with one click, so we can view their computer screens. It's easy and a lot of folks like it."

"Instead of trying to walk-through a user on how to fix their computer, we just log in, do it, and move on to the next case."

"Ability to save a permanent remote connection, hold, and/or transfer."

"The solution has been in the market for the past 20 years. For us, it is one of the best tools."

"The tech support person I spoke to was very knowledgeable about the product, and was straightforward with me about its capabilities. There was no fluff about the product. They basically said this is not available now and we're hoping to have it available in the third or fourth quarter. It was nice to talk to someone who was straightforward and knew about the product."

"It is very stable. It adjusts to bandwidth very well."

"LogMeIn is a remote tool that I use for remote solutions."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

Cons

"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."

"For additional functionality, I suggest that Microsoft could expand on asset management. Since the platform is there, they could develop it into a full-fledged asset management system."

"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."

"The user interface should be more user-friendly, as it can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Microsoft often relocates features, making it difficult to consistently find what I need."

"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."

"From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful."

"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."

"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Mobile interface."

"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."

"If it had Chrome capability, that would be great; being able to use it on a Chrome device. Right now, I can't use it on my Chrome device."

"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."

"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."

"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."

"I was not thrilled with their support. I do not have a lot of time to deal with the attention which is needed to fix issues."

"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect cons

"Support to remotely control more mobile devices' screens is desperately needed. It is sad to see how long this product has been out and how many phones are still not supported for, specifically, remote screen control."

"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."

"it needs better iOS integration. It's still limited in its functionality when it comes to iOS. Currently, when you do something other than iOS, you're not able to take control of what's going on; instead of having to tell the user, "Click here, click there," I would like to have full control over an iOS device."

"I would like to see a mobile client that would work on an iPad, so I do not always have to be on a PC or a full-blown Mac operating system."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"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."

"I wish this product was tied to a Help Desk package so I could manage tickets and have an infrastructure, with this being the primary tool to troubleshoot."

"The app itself requires so many different updates and it requires us to rebuild it every time, and that's been a bit of a problem, over the last five years, in keeping it up to date for our clients."

More LogMeIn Rescue cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

"The solution is cost-efficient."

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."

"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."

"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."

"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."

"The product is expensive."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."

"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."

"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."

"We pay an annual licensing fee."

"I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."

"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."

"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."

"It is priced fairly."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect pricing and cost advice

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

"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need."

"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."

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

"The cost of LogMeIn is high... I went with another product that was going to give me savings of 50%. One technician tested it, he gave us the thumbs up. Then once we moved all my technicians to it, but it didn’t work... Trying to move from LogMeIn hindered our performance and productivity and it was not worth the savings."

"The pricing is 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."

"It's definitely worth the value."
