We can manage all aspects of our devices from a single console, easy to scale, and quick to deploy
Intune has many benefits from the Microsoft perspective. This solution can manage Windows 10 devices, app management, and provide security solutions. We don't need to worry about our network connection, and we'll be more secure with regular security patches and compliance. Since everything will be deployed through the internet and users will log in using the internet only, the risks have been mitigated. Security updates, security patching, and the application will be targeted from Intune. The location tracker will be available to track where the device is and the user's location. The user will be restricted from accessing certain applications using compliance policies. Conditional access policies will be based on the reason why the user needs access to the application. Microsoft Intune is one of the best products in the industry for managing Windows devices. The solution has more feature restrictions. The conditional access policies also eliminate the dependency on the on-prem network for the devices. The solution also manages our security settings and a lot of other beneficial features such as Microsoft Purview which gives us the compliance portion. We can manage all aspects of our device from a single console, including M365 services. This allows us to configure data classification types, such as public, private, internal, confidential, and highly confidential.

Is easy to use and has a nice interface, but the scalability needs to improve
The deployment takes around two to three hours. If you manage the product, one person could be enough, but if you need some kind of additional integrations like ADA integration, you need someone from ADT to access products. One person is enough, but one or two additional personnel may be included. To deploy Check Point Remote Access VPN, you must purchase a license, enable the blade, and purchase client access licenses. You can then follow the instructions to deploy the product, write the necessary rules, make the integrations, deploy the agent to the clients, and provide them with a login solution. I rate the initial setup an eight on a scale of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Easy to use and offers a good UI to users
In terms of the product's security features, the solution allows you to have team meetings, and you can also use it for remote access and screen-sharing capabilities. TeamViewer is typically like any other team collaboration software. I recommend the product to others since it is a good product for collaboration purposes. There are no connectivity challenges associated with the product. In terms of benefits, I would say that it is a good tool for collaboration, productivity, and virtual work as it saves a lot of commute time for the employees. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is absolutely a positive investment."
"The biggest asset is the range of device management options available with Intune, whether it is a Windows device, a Linux device, a Mac device, or mobile devices."
"The management control feature is the most valuable."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The solution is stable."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."
"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless access."
"Our users find the interface very comfortable to use."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"The dashboards they have are good."
"Getting started with TeamViewer was easy, with a very straightforward usage"
"It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI."
"The most important feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"Intune could be improved by organizing different solutions, like Defender and Sentinel, into a single package. This would allow us to focus on security while Microsoft manages other areas. Having a unified solution would drive better management of various sectors. Although the Intune user experience is good, we should continue enhancing it."
"One drawback of Intune is that we cannot find devices based on a user's region or location."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"The connection has gotten less smooth as the number of users increases. The issue is that the logs fill up quickly. Too many users are connecting remotely. It worked great when we only had a few remote connections. Now, it is disconnecting people and dropping the internet connection."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
"The fully-featured security module is only supported on Windows and Mac systems, which means that organizations with Linux will face issues providing secure access."
"Improved scalability would allow the solution to handle larger numbers of users and devices without a significant impact on performance."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"We'd like to integrate Check Point into the Remote Access VPN solution and have the ability to integrate multiple devices as access points through the solution."
"There is a paid version of this solution with more features available. However, they should provide more free features to the user, such as factor authentication."
"I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult."
"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data."
"I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone."
"The performance could always be better."
"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."
"We access the solution through a VPN, which improves our security. However, earlier this year, around the beginning of March, a CVE in the TeamViewer client allowed remote connections to other network systems, which was concerning. You could have unintentionally gained admin rights if you didn't update TeamViewer promptly. It's crucial to always keep it updated to prevent such issues. The tool should consider implementing two-factor authentication to improve such security holes. It should also integrate good security updates, which should be implemented automatically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very reasonable."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"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."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"My understanding is that the pricing and licensing are very competitive, and it's not one of their more expensive products. We buy licenses for the solution and have licenses for the endpoint servers."
"Regarding pricing, as a global customer, we get a big discount. For us, it's a good return on investment. We need to pay for additional features we want to enable. It seems cheaper than other vendors, but I can't say what it would cost an average customer."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten. For the cost of one product, we could purchase two or three Fortinet solutions with the same amount of money."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"My company makes yearly payments only towards the licensing costs attached to Check Point Remote Access VPN, as there are no extra costs attached to the product."
"It has probably saved us several thousands of dollars because we have quick access anywhere. We don't have to worry about finding people onsite or arranging conference calls. We also save time and money with it because we don't have to send somebody onsite to troubleshoot."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"TeamViewer was willing to give us a one-year package. Whereas, a lot of the other companies that we explored were paid by the month or quarter. It's just easier for our finance people at the college if we can make a one-time yearly payment."
"TeamViewer pricing is reasonable... The simultaneous controller licensing model of TeamViewer - compared to LogMeIn’s controlled Host licensing model - seems to benefit us so far. We’re currently saving about 30 percent on licensing cost... The savings from licensing have been eaten up by the soft costs involved in dealing with and working around TeamViewer’s deficiencies in allowing granular control by multiple controllers, and the issues with the various settings that are missing on the macOS Host."
