Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of security and efficiency."

"We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand."

"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."

"Intune is valuable for managing various endpoints and integrating with the Azure cloud, which is essential for our organization."

"It significantly reduces the overhead associated with providing support."

"When comparing Microsoft Intune to Jamf, Microsoft Intune is superior."

"Microsoft Intune has transformed my organization; we are managing to scale the Intune deployment across all our regions efficiently, and it works perfectly for our needs."

"EAM is a godsend."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

""Inherited" function for credentials - Configure the desired credential at one (top) location, and use the Inherited function on all sub-connections that should use this credential."

"Allows us to configure limited access to resources with the security-based role feature (which we use for trainees and new employees)."

"It sped up our response rate to anything that happened in the network."

"It really helps to have all the data already pre-entered and all I have to do is enter the password."

"Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze."

"Setup and installation was simple."

"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager pros

"The ability to run it as a console when I log in. It thinks I'm there. It allows me to do file transfers. It allows me to see event logs through the utility, as opposed to having to open them on the client machine, so I can help troubleshoot unobtrusively."

"There’s something called the dial-in so for people that use us all the time, we can have an icon on their screen and they can click that icon and we connect to them."

"Being able to transfer files quickly and easily via the remote file manager."

"It will save them a ton of man-hours and downtime if they invest in this software, because again, it's very easy to use, it's very efficient."

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

"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."

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

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

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

Cons

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

"Intune is a good product for UEM, which is helpful for Windows 10 management. However, for MAM, there is lots of improvement needed."

"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."

"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."

"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."

"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."

"When you have a pressing issue, there is a lack of response. I believe Microsoft support needs to work on the response aspect."

"The reporting dashboard is really limited."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates."

"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."

"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."

"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."

"The console is a little bit clunky."

"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."

"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."

"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network, what good is the product?"

"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."

"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."

"The billing team was poor when fixing their billing mistake and customer service was missing in action."

More LogMeIn Rescue cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."

"It is reasonable for the features it has."

"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."

"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 has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."

"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."

"Setup costs for most people is negligible."

"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."

"While LogMeIn Rescue is a great product and a leader in the industry, it's way pricey. Price is the most negative thing about LogMeIn Rescue."

"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."

"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."

"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 pricing is worth the value."

"It's definitely worth the value."

"The rescue model is licensed by user."

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