Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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

"Using this product has completely stopped DLP, so people cannot take material off of corporate machines or corporate imagines, and that's a huge benefit."
"Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 endpoints."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"This improved control and visibility has helped my organization by reducing risks, saving time, and making compliance easier."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"The quality of the call and the quality of the sharing have been excellent."
"The real-time access has been excellent."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use and beneficial remote access."
"It has been useful and it has increased our productivity by some 400 percent."
"Getting started with TeamViewer was easy, with a very straightforward usage"
"TeamViewer is a scalable solution."
"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

"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"There are differences in protecting the data on a mobile device and on iOS. When you protect the data on iOS, you protect the entire device."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Microsoft Intune has a few areas where it could improve, such as faster policy and app deployment, a better user interface, stronger support for non-Windows devices, improved reporting and visibility, easier troubleshooting tools, and more transparent pricing."
"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."
"Most of the customers in the business do not use Intune because it doesn't support that much policy for Android."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"Microsoft Intune has potential for improvement; I would like to see a lot more customization in the reporting tools."
"The only thing I wish for is a better price for small users."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
"When clients have a newer version installed and we only have a license for version 8, there are issues."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"Sometimes it gives problems, with the button not working, and I was unable to log in."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"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."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
"Ease of access is a bit of a challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The cost of the licenses depends on how you buy them. They just had a buy one get one free deal going, and they do that every once in a while. Where you buy one license, and they will give you the second one free, or you can try to get discounts. Most of our licenses that we have we tried to do something like that just to save some money."
"TeamViewer was willing to give us a one-year package. Whereas, a lot of the other companies that we explored were paid by the month or quarter. It's just easier for our finance people at the college if we can make a one-time yearly payment."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
