Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.
Anant Suman - PeerSpot reviewer
Remote administration is enabled with secure and user-friendly access
The main purpose of the product is for firewall purposes that we are using, and the VPN provides secure access for remote connections. It adds simplicity, as the solution is simple enough, with an easy interface. The functionality enables secure access for remotely connecting users, which is necessary for our operations.
Sanjay Patankar - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance
It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication.  It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good.  It's got a lot of resources for users.  The product is easy to install.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"Within Intune, managing policies and having a consistent way to manage devices is valuable."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."
"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."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"Third party integrations are very convenient to use with Microsoft Intune."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"We use it to connect our sites. We have a couple of sites that need to interconnect."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"Our users find the interface very comfortable to use."
"The IPSec VPN, Mobile Access, and Identity Awareness are three of the blades with which we have been working with since the pandemic. This has given us great mobility, making our network more dynamic."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"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 has been solid for me for over five years."
"The initial setup was pretty easy."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"The solution is scalable."
"TeamViewer is fast and easy to manipulate."
"It was worth the investment. You can do file transfers and video calls with it. You can do a lot of copy paste stuff. E.g., if I have a file and want to place it on somebody's machine, I can just copy it off of mine and paste it right on their machine. I don't have to put it in a Dropbox account and have them log into it to pull it off. I can do all that right through TeamViewer. When you're looking at the TeamViewer screen, you think you are working on your own machine."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote control a computer system. Overall it is a complete solution."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had a problem with it."
"From my perspective, the most important is the login."
 

Cons

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"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."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"Improvements are needed in Microsoft Intune's enterprise app management, including support for more applications in app patching, boot batching, and discovery. I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function. Our customers need that capability, or they will buy it from a third party at a premium."
"The ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN handles up to a hundred megabytes for clients, but I want it to be able to handle up to one gigabyte."
"When you need to create something, you have to follow many steps and I think that should be simplified."
"There needs to be a way to create a VPN client specific to our environment so that we can easily lock down who can connect."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be more user-friendly."
"The Linux version may have an app (similar to Windows) instead of a shell script."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP."
"It would be useful if the solution could facilitate more than one remote user accessing my desktop at a time."
"The support could improve their speed."
"Every now and then you'll get a silent crash and you relaunch the application. But it happens no more than with anything else in the Windows environment."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"One thing I have noticed is that TeamViewer does not work so well when the machine you are trying to connect to remotely is not running the same version as your machine."
"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."
"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."
"The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"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."
"The price of this product is good."
"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."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"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."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"We have a corporate license. The maximum amount number of users changes based on the amount you pay. E.g., with our license, there is a maximum amount of users who can use the solution at the same time (10 users)."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
