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.

Able to boot into safe mode or standard mode remotely and reliable performance

I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."

"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."

"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"If any user tries to access company data, it directly interacts with the conditional access policy. This helps us protect our data and set the criteria for how data can be accessed and shared."

"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."

"It is very easy for me to configure all the things. Once I create policies and applications in Intune, it is very easy for us to enroll users."

"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more."

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

"The remote connection across platforms is great."

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

"By integrating all our connections previously spread across multiple locations, a lot of time has been saved."

"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."

"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."

"With the integrated VPN providers you are able to link the VPN entry directly to the session or entire folders, so you no longer have to configure the VPN manually on the machine."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager pros

"The file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."

"The initial setup is simple."

"Splashtop Remote Support is my main product, and I use it daily. Its main function is to control systems, which is essential remotely. Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable."

"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."

"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."

"The solution is very fast."

Cons

"The reporting dashboard is really limited."

"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."

"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."

"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."

"The Mac integration has room for improvement."

"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."

"I find the price for Microsoft Intune too high, which represents an area for improvement in Microsoft's pricing model."

"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

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

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

"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."

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

"The console is a little bit clunky."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager cons

"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."

"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."

"The integration features could be better."

"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."

"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."

"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"

"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."

"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."

"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."

"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."
