Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

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

"Most people prefer to use Intune if they want to implement conditional access policies to restrict customer Exchange Online or Exchange user formats emails until their devices comply."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"When managing a large number of devices in an organization, it becomes easy to handle them on one platform using Microsoft Intune."
"My favorite feature of Microsoft Intune is the dashboard; the dashboard is very simple and user-friendly, and any person, even without prior knowledge, can understand it easily by seeing the interface dashboard."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"Setup was very straightforward. All I had to do was write a GPO on my domain controller and it automatically installed the agent that I downloaded from the software. I literally had to do nothing."
"At first, we switched because of the better price but now we are are using this product happily."
"It has been a game-changer for my workflow."
"We are more efficient at resolving end-user tickets as a result of implementing this product, with our ticket count lower and our ticket throughput increased because now we just click a button to connect and we're off and running."
"Recently I needed to remotely access the software at my office, and I was able to connect using the software and access the information I needed within a minute or two, rather than having to drive to the office to get into the computer system."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"It's very easy to use. Provides connections that are always on. It was nice to be able to see a list of end-points and see whether or not they were connected so I could troubleshoot any network issues I had."
"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."
"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 played a major role for our organization, especially in the authentication areas."
"Transmit Security has positively impacted my organization by improving the development of workflows in order to help the user experience."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"I think nine is a very good rating for this solution, and I kept one point out because I think in the future it requires improvement based on future scalability in the IT infrastructure."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins. We continue to experience issues with machines losing their hybrid domain join status."
"Those are the two features that did not impress me much, and currently with other customers I am improving them with Microsoft directly."
"The granular support for other device types in Microsoft Intune could be improved."
"Yes, there are a couple of issues with stability."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement."
"There is one back-end issue that I am running into at some of locations where I login to provide support, and sometimes port 443 is blocked. That is what it uses to connect. So, I am having to do workarounds to get a session started."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
"The only slowdown I've seen is when quality settings are set to high - and this is primarily on Windows 10 machines that show a picture on the lock-screen prior to the password entry screen."
"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."
"However, the main issue I have seen with it is that, if they are having issues with their web browsers or network, there is really no way to connect with it."
"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."
"The customer support varies, but overall, we are satisfied."
"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

"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."
"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 is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"It is priced fairly."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
