Modern endpoint management has transformed onboarding and strengthened remote security controls
The features of Microsoft Intune are straightforward, including Windows Autopilot, zero-touch deployment, centralized device management, and conditional access security controls. Using zero-touch deployment and Windows Autopilot in Microsoft Intune has significantly improved my workflow and organization. New laptops are shipped directly to users with no IT handling needed, and there is no manual imaging or configuration required. These features have a real impact. They save hours of manual setup per device, reduce dependency on the IT team for basic provisioning, and ensure every system is configured consistently and securely. Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization by improving device management. Devices are managed from a single cloud console. It has reduced manual work for provisioning and configuration. It has faster onboarding using Autopilot. It has enhanced security posture through enforced compliance policies, encryption, antivirus, and password rules. Conditional access ensures only trusted devices can access resources. I have better support for remote users, as devices can be managed from anywhere with no dependency on office network or VPN for basic management. It has easy troubleshooting and policy updates.

Reliable remote access has improved secure collaboration and streamlined daily approvals
The best features TeamViewer Business offers in my opinion are collaboration, templates, a high level of security, and session recording. Collaboration allows me to collaborate remotely with my team members. Besides reconnecting automatically, it provides a high level of security, protecting from cyber attacks and aids in providing assurance in regulated environments through two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption features. It also allows recording live sessions, which can be replayed as needed for future reference. TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization as collaboration has enhanced, especially remote collaboration by 60 to 70 percent. I have been able to collaborate with clients and other team members seamlessly. Enhanced workflow efficiency includes faster approvals and a lowered risk of data loss, misuse, and leak through robust features like two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption. It also facilitates compliance using documentation and auditing through recordings and logs.

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

"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."
"Autopilot is definitely the most valuable feature for me, because as an MSP supporting some clients with 300 to 400 users, once it is configured correctly we use Microsoft Intune so that when a laptop is sent directly to a remote user they just log in with their email address and password and their machine is ready to go with Wi-Fi, SharePoint access, OneDrive backup, Outlook, and all the applications they need automatically configured and deployed."
"First of all, the integration with the rest of Microsoft's products is a major win."
"I mainly use Microsoft Intune analytics for taking that data that exists and bringing it into Power BI dashboards to make it visible to our clients, showing them all the operating systems in their environment and where the latest patches are, and then from there creating plans."
"The most valuable features are that users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"Microsoft Intune is the best solution available; we can connect with any device and handle all queries, which sets it apart from other tools available in the market."
"Unattended access with single login."
"It is a great, amazing tool; all companies need to have it, and it's secure, fast, and reliable."
"TeamViewer is stable."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"Over the past six months, we have probably saved several thousand dollars just in the cost of either my boss or me having to go up there."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer Tensor is the remote access."
"In my opinion, it's the best remote access product on the market."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
"The product’s ease of use and security are valuable."
 

Cons

"To make it a perfect ten, it would be helpful if there was a better way to troubleshoot user issues, as I've had a few users with corrupt files before and had to redeploy it without knowing the root cause."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows."
"We’ve never really contacted technical support. I can’t really speak to how helpful they are as I don’t have much experience with them."
"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'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
"ITBrain should be embedded in the product and not an expensive add-on."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"TeamViewer is publicly available and anyone can use it. This is the reason that many organizations do not permit the use of this solution."
"I believe there are aspects of TeamViewer that could work better, particularly in the integration of various tools."
"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."
"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

"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
"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."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"I rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
