Technical executive at Satcom Infotech
Delivers seamless remote access and excellent support
I don't have experience in ManageEngine. I have experience with GFI LANguard, Qualys Patch Management, and WatchGuard Firebox. I also have experience with GoTo Resolve. I don't know about the advanced security protocols in GoTo Resolve. The solution is very good. The vendor is good, the technical support is good, so there will be no complaint about it. I rate GoTo Resolve 9 out of 10.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to change the way that the client works to a service so that we can get a little bit deeper into the operating system, as opposed to just an app running is the most valuable aspect. We also like the unattended sessions. Those are probably the two most important things to us. It's important because we can't do certain things when it is just an application running."
"I think that's the best solution I have ever checked; instead of AnyDesk or TeamViewer, you can use GoTo Resolve."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."
"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified. We have all machines connected to it at all times, whether they are in the office or working from home."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."
"The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"The pricing of GoTo Resolve is very high compared to other solutions."
"If they included some sort of monitoring system for managed services so we can have it all in one package, that would be helpful. There are managed services solutions that allow us to remote into the computers, but a lot of them have too much overhead. Usually, the remote connection is not as simple and as fast and cannot be run as a service."
"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"There is room for improvement in Microsoft Intune's understanding and user experience as the interface is easy to navigate for deploying applications and finding user information, but I think there should be a reduction in dependency on on-premises infrastructure and focus on artificial intelligence and automation to improve further."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft. There are a few things I can still do with Jamf that I am unable to do with Intune yet."
"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."
"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very inexpensive. The seats are $25 monthly apiece or something. There aren't additional costs that I'm aware of."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
