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.

Easy to deploy with great security and responsive support
The security on offer is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It offers, for example, two-factor authentification. The remote connection across platforms is great. You can deploy it on anything, including Windows, Mac, iOS, your iPhone, et cetera. It offers multi-platform utility. This makes it great for enterprise. Users can use it for PAM access as well. The feature of Devolutions that has improved our customer's efficiency the most is probably the security side. It's gotten a lot tighter. Authentication and secure connections are helpful. They use encryption between them, which is just standard for them. The company has so many regulatory controls that they must ensure their security is very tight. There's a lot of potential cybercrime around casinos, and this solution ensures they are well-protected. Devolutions is a great product that can be safely used between China, Australia, or the Philippines, and it remains a good, safe product.

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

"The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."
"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."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"Microsoft Intune scales very effectively with our growing needs."
"Microsoft Intune saves eight hours per day, and during my work hours, I use my time to study and run tests on configurations I'm curious about and try them out in my environment."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."
"It saves a lot of time for all of our IT staff from having to just use the RDP Windows client and reenter each server every time we access a different system."
"Makes me instantly more focused on resolving the issue rather than getting to the issue."
"The ability to have all the connection information in one location saves so much time from trying to manage the same information across different applications."
"Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze."
"Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment."
"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."
"Allows us to configure limited access to resources with the security-based role feature (which we use for trainees and new employees)."
"The interface is great to work with as it allows multiple connections in a tabbed interface. It also has the option to automatically start a VPN or an SSH tunnel, if required."
"We are able to quickly and easily get clients connected to our triage techs which allows us to resolve issues much more quickly, and with little stress."
"The solution has been in the market for the past 20 years. For us, it is one of the best tools."
"Ability to save a permanent remote connection, hold, and/or transfer."
"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."
"The multiple connect methods really help with users who are not tech savvy or knowledgeable about their own computers."
"I will say 100% in five years, I do not think we have had to use technical support for anything."
"It is very straightforward to set up, use, install, and transfer sessions."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"Microsoft Intune is not as fast and extensive as traditional solutions such as SCCM and others."
"You can have a bad day where 80% of the enrollments failed. The next day it's running with the same devices without any changes, and you don't know why."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"The console is a little bit clunky."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"I occasionally need to reboot my computer after using LogMeIn, due to an issue with IE. It stops responding to keyboard input every once in a while, after disconnecting from a session. A reboot resolves it."
"​Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network​, what good is the product?"
"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."
"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 would like a single sign on for all of our (five) accounts so that I can immediately use an available seat. Right now, I have to try to log in with each account separately, in an attempt to find an available license that is not currently in use."
"The billing team was poor when fixing their billing mistake and customer service was missing in action."
"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.​"
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"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."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."
"Setup costs for most people is negligible."
"The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."
"Pricing is reasonable and easily offsets other costs, while resolving issues in a much quicker timeframe."
"I did look into a couple of other products, TeamViewer in particular, at one point. The price point of Rescue, compared to some of the other things that are in the marketplace right now, is high. But it's what I would call the "Cadillac" of the industry."
"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need.​"
"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 a little on the higher side, though.​"
"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.​"
"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."
"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."
