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.

Lead Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Journey orchestration has improved fraud prevention but still needs shared rules and better usability

The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application. There is no common place where you can write the rules and use that rule for all your applications, which is missing. This is a big feature that is missing compared to the other products in the market. Additionally, the SDKs, Journey Player, and other components are not business-friendly, so you really have to be technical to get into it and do those things. A non-technical person would find it really hard to implement and learn things inside Transmit Security. Even though it requires less coding, you still have to have some technical people in your team to really write the rules and integrate those rules into your application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."

"The automatic patch management feature in the Intune Suite is helpful."

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

"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."

"The feature I find most valuable in Microsoft Intune is being able to configure policies and push them directly to mobile phones."

"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."

"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."

"Third party integrations are very convenient to use with Microsoft Intune."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Organizing credentials, connections, and contents by clients makes it so simple for someone to provide support."

"I was able to maintain connections to over 400 different servers and services using password best practices."

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

"RDM has enabled me to do most of my work in one place. This helps me be able to have an RDP session open to a server in one tab and an SSH session open to a VMware host in another."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager pros

"Transmit Security has played a major role for our organization, especially in the authentication areas."

"Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless."

"Transmit Security has positively impacted my organization by improving the development of workflows in order to help the user experience."

"Transmit Security has impacted my organization positively because it is reassuring to know that we are building on top of a trusted tool, and we do not rely on developers that could make mistakes, and because it is an authentication platform, that could be detrimental."

Cons

"However, due to access limitations, we are unable to deploy certain security features on end-user devices."

"What frustrates me the most is just waiting and tapping my fingers, uncertain about whether my changes will take effect."

"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."

"Reliability is something that I feel there is a tad bit of concern. The only point is that we need to sync multiple times to get something pushed through."

"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."

"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."

"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."

"Microsoft Intune could be improved in several areas."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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 console is a little bit clunky."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager cons

"The customer support varies, but overall, we are satisfied."

"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."

"The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application."

"The scalability of Transmit Security is a little bit tricky. It is not easy to scale and depends on the complexity of my workflows and how many users I am going to support."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."

"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."

"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."

"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."

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

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

"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."

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."
