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.

It covers you for HIPAA and PCI certification
Take Control is a way to remotely take over the console of a managed machine, but it also gives you other abilities. You can take over the console, access the registry, throw commands at it in the background, and manipulate the file system Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users.…

Remote support has transformed my work and now saves time with fast, secure file transfers
What I appreciate about TeamViewer Business is the reliable and secure connection experienced during file transfers or troubleshooting processes, even when we have to restart the PC; we are still able to connect to the customer quickly. TeamViewer Business offers a free version for both personal and business use. The free version actually covers all the features needed for secure remote connection, which is one of the positive aspects I have experienced. The secure connections and great file transfer feature are super fast and secure, with reliable features during the process of reconnecting and connecting back to clients. Back in 2009 and 2007, the internet did not have the faster features it has today. TeamViewer Business's file transfer feature has made things easier. Instead of downloading a file from a source like HP.com, we just have to transfer the file from our system to the customer securely and quickly. Many technical support people have benefited from that feature, which I find very reliable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier. It allows us to deploy applications, packages, Windows updates, and security updates like BitLocker encryption more efficiently and easily."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access."
"I have seen a return on investment with Microsoft Intune, as it has saved me resources; previously, I managed my infrastructure with a team of around six to seven members, but after transitioning to the Microsoft Intune hybrid model, I am able to manage it with just one resource, allowing me to cut costs significantly, around 50-60 lakhs."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"The most valuable part of N-able Take Control is being able to remotely access your customer's site. You are able to view their network. Once you have it set up, it's always available. N-able Take Control can be used even when other remote access controls have been made."
"Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users. It's for supporting a workstation where you want the person on the other side to see you moving their mouse, and you can work with them."
"TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization by boosting efficiency since you do not need to be physically available to the client to troubleshoot or help them."
"We also use it a lot for remote site assistance. We've set up our internal authentication for unattended access to our remote sites. That makes it very easy and convenient to remotely connect with our users and our client machines whenever we need to. It's set as a direct, secure connection. As long as the station has internet access, we can see it and it makes remote support very simple."
"I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product."
"There have been a couple of times with the handy remote access feature, where I have been asked for something at eight o'clock on a Thursday evening and it is on my desk machine, but I am driving back to my office. With TeamViewer, I can just stay at my home machine, connect to my work machine, and get the data needed without having to drive back across town."
"TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization by helping us resolve critical issues within the four-hour SLA contracts we have with clients, avoiding penalties associated with delays."
"The solution is scalable."
"Saving users in the interface has helped our workflow and made things easier for our team because we use it every single day, and we would struggle to support our teams effectively without TeamViewer Business; it has made things much easier."
"I have found the solution to be user-friendly even for beginners. It is not that sophisticated. There are different types of security features available, such as encryption and random machine ID."
 

Cons

"The way the apps are getting deployed, the checkboxes for deleting previous versions are actually creating more conflicts than fixing problems."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"We've seen some latency problems in AWS environments. Aside from that, it's a pretty solid service."
"The dashboards I do not use because there are issues. The solution monitors your antivirus and other programs but it does not seem to work well."
"TeamViewer Business can improve in terms of price and the complexity of licensing, which is a drawback, especially for smaller teams or casual users due to frequent license changes and forced upgrades."
"The product can sometimes crash."
"It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows."
"TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data."
"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."
"We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"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."
"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."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"N-able Take Control charges you a monthly fee for every customer that you have booked in, and it used to be inexpensive but it's a little bit more expensive now."
"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."
"The solution's pricing 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..."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
