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.

Cloud Pre/Sales Manager at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Fast and has a friendly UI; allows you to consume heavy applications

An area for improvement in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is the installation process because you need some technical knowledge to install it. Implementing the solution requires knowledge and understanding, so if you're a user, you'd need IT assistance to set up OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX). What's lacking in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is a help portal for users to ask questions and seek assistance. The website has a standard FAQs page, but I would like more articles and online material, so you can deal with questions and some of the issues that arise rather than dealing with customer support. I want a portal or online system similar to what Microsoft provides for Microsoft Office products.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."

"Intune is flexible. If you want to move a device that was previously on-prem, we can bring it to the cloud and apply all the policies. This is helpful for even those organizations that were on-prem and not on the cloud. They can also come and use these features, which are pretty cool and would be handy to protect the data and manage the devices as well."

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."

"Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 endpoints."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."

"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."

"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Being able to aggregate all connections (RDP, FTP, SSH, VPN, etc.) in the same interface and make each server readily available in the same way, which lets me focus on the problem regardless of where it is."

""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."

"The remote connection across platforms is great."

"Makes me instantly more focused on resolving the issue rather than getting to the issue."

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

"Documentation per entry, good for device configs or important/special instructions."

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

"Setup and installation was simple."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager pros

"The solution is perfect for Linux users."

"The most helpful feature of OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is that it allows you to consume heavy applications that usually have a lot of latency. I also like that the solution is fast and has a friendly UI."

Cons

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

"Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune is absolutely useless for protecting my environment."

"The solution does require maintenance, and it is complex to maintain, especially regarding updates, patching, and releases."

"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."

"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."

"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."

"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."

"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

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

"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."

"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."

"There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things."

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

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

"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager cons

"An area for improvement in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is the installation process because you need some technical knowledge to install it. What's lacking in OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is a help portal for users to ask questions and seek assistance."

"The performance of the graphical interface needs improvement. They should add some CPU to speed graphic acceleration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."

"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."

"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."

"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."

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."

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

"Setup costs for most people is negligible."

"Pricing for OpenText Exceed TurboX (ETX) is five out of ten. It's not that expensive, and it's not that affordable."
