AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Allows an ease of access to various systems and has a straightforward setup process
The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues We cannot see the number of monitors working on the system simultaneously. It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows. The product's stability depends on the network's stability in our…

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

"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"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 features of Microsoft Intune that I appreciate the most are its user-friendly interface and robust security options."
"The best part of Intune is application deployment. We can deploy an application to several users with a single click. We can use conditional access, granting access to users based on certain conditions, such as location, platform, etc."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."
"The implementation process is simple."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."
"I am satisfied with TeamViewer, and its performance."
"The most valuable feature is you do not need to know the Windows username and password to connect and see the staff screen."
"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."
"Ease of use was the number-one thing. It's an industry leader for ease of use, specifically on the client-side, which is the absolutely critical thing. If I want to connect to somebody, how easily can I — without seeing their computer — walk them through the steps to install it to a point where I can key in the code and help them resolve their situation?... TeamViewer is just a dead-solid, easy answer."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"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."
 

Cons

"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"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."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"Technical support can be challenging when resources shift, requiring repeated explanations. Support from India sometimes provides information without the right solution."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"It would be useful if the solution could facilitate more than one remote user accessing my desktop at a time."
"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"The performance could always be better."
"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

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The tool is not cheap."
