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

"From a solution perspective, I always recommend that you go for it."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"The core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates."
"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified."
"When comparing these two products, I prefer Intune."
"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."
"Within Intune, managing policies and having a consistent way to manage devices is valuable."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"I find the mouse control and the ability to click for them very effective. I can move the mouse and click on buttons as if sitting at their computer. These are the basic features I use most often in the solution. There are tricker features that I don't use much because I don't need them frequently. Overall, it's a great tool for helping others with their computer issues without traveling to their location or another building."
"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."
"It is very easy to configure and very easy to use."
"If someone is looking for a remote connection and support solution, this is a good choice."
"The pilot feature is what stands out the most; I love the ability to use the pilot feature for remote inspections, and the augmented portion of the software comes in handy when I have to assist my inspectors as they use the app in the field and show me what they're seeing through their phones."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
"TeamViewer is a professional, flexible solution and platform independent, so it's worth its price."
"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
"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."
"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

"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"The only thing I can think of is a quick-deploy / auto-installer for the end users."
"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."
"I am not sure about all the features of TeamViewer, but if they have no voice communication or file transfer features they should add them."
"Sometimes it lags."
"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."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
"There is a limit on the number of people who can attend a meeting. Currently, I use Zoom for our pre-construction meetings because I can have up to 25 people."
"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

"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"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."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."
"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."
"We are using the standard 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."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
