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.

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.

Easy to deploy, but scalability needs improvement
There are no specific challenges I faced while using the product. I haven't used the solution to support any AI-driven projects. In our company, we need to have remote access to our labs because if not, people have to move to the laboratory, and we will spend a lot of time working. I don't know the features of VNC Connect that improved our company's support capabilities. I rate the tool a six 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

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"If any user tries to access company data, it directly interacts with the conditional access policy. This helps us protect our data and set the criteria for how data can be accessed and shared."
"I like how Intune brings everything into one place. For example, you can set up conditional access to applications and devices inside Intune. I also like the segregation inside the Intune devices. You can segregate them by Windows, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android. You can sort it by platform, so you don't need to go into the devices section."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"The system itself is great."
"It works pretty well for us."
"TeamViewer is fast and easy to manipulate."
"Ever since we have been using TeamViewer Business, because of how quick it is to connect to a user across the globe, we have been able to close tickets rapidly."
"I like that it helped a lot, even with low bandwidth network connectivity. For example, while I was traveling, sometimes there were requirements for me to join a TeamViewer session and provide technical support. I was able to do that without much of an issue. It is also a secure solution."
"There is a relevant return on investment, especially when my previous organizations assisted with remote access features, as rather than needing to go on-site, we could connect remotely, making it easier for those who are not tech-savvy, thanks to TeamViewer Business's user-friendly features, which helped immensely, especially when assisting elderly clients, and ensured we met metrics effectively, creating a significant positive impact."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"I recommend it as a solution for remote disk users."
"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"The product’s ease of use and security are valuable."
"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"Microsoft Intune is currently overpriced."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"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."
"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"I think the pricing could have been improved, as smaller organizations like us usually need a low-cost tool."
"You can't configure multiple, unattended control passwords on the Mac. On the Mac, there's only one. On Windows, there are multiple unattended control passwords. I have people in different departments. My infrastructure people need to control a server and my developers may need to go into that same server. But I don't want them to have the same password... on the Mac, it can be done but it's extremely clunky and problematic."
"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."
"On occasion, when remote connection process can't connect to a machine, the error messages aren't always helpful to tell you why you can't connect, as the message doesn't help troubleshoot whether it is too slow, too much interference, etc. I usually have to run to another computer and figure out what is going on, then restart it. The diagnostics could be improved."
"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."
"If you had to teach someone how TeamViewer Business works, especially because I am speaking in a sense that I am using it on an engineer level, it would be a bit difficult to get accustomed to some of the settings, especially with the new experience."
"TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
"Ease of access is a bit of a challenge."
"Improvements are required in the area of scalability since it is an aspect of the tool where there are shortcomings."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"The price could be better."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"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..."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
