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.

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

"Implementing Microsoft Intune is easy."
"It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"The valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"What I like most about the tool is that it's now very easy to set up a device for someone to use. It also helps us tremendously in managing security. Before, we used on-premise management with a domain controller. It was difficult to manage security comprehensively. For example, it was hard to know which computers were updated. We weren't able to do that easily with our previous solution."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Microsoft Intune is best for Windows devices and security in Office 365 and Microsoft-related enterprise environments. It's a nice platform for endpoint management."
"Ultimately, however, even with all of its warts and problems, it's still the best, most reliable and most affordable remote control product, at least for our environment."
"I would happily recommend this product for both personal and commercial reasons because of its price and also because of its ease of use."
"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
"Easy-to-save access to remote machines: TeamViewer allows you to save machines to your account, which allows you to remote into a machine with ease."
"I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product."
"This is a unique solution that is very easy to install."
"TeamViewer has been one of the easiest, right off the bat products, that we have employed at the college. We have had no issues. It's been one of the easiest solutions to pick up."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"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."
"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
 

Cons

"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."
"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"However, with Microsoft, it takes a lot longer, and I’m not getting quick resolutions. Sometimes, I find myself bouncing around between different support groups."
"The worst aspect is the reporting."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"I find the price for Microsoft Intune too high, which represents an area for improvement in Microsoft's pricing model."
"The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"TeamViewer is publicly available and anyone can use it. This is the reason that many organizations do not permit the use of this solution."
"Unfortunately, the software is hit or miss when it comes to iOS devices, especially Macs."
"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"Oftentimes, the session window blocks view of the system tray. I’d like to be able to minimize it or move it."
"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."
"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."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"We have a corporate license. The maximum amount number of users changes based on the amount you pay. E.g., with our license, there is a maximum amount of users who can use the solution at the same time (10 users)."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The tool is not cheap."
