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

"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is not only the management itself, but also how well it integrates with other Microsoft technologies."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The product helps organizations have a model or place to allow users to access the corporate resources from any device that the user wants and in a highly secured way."
"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."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"Intune's integration with Defender and other security solutions is valuable because it offers a view into different security vulnerabilities and enables us to secure them more effectively."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"It's pretty easy to use. Just key in an ID and password and connect. For meetings, just enter the meeting ID and connect."
"TeamViewer is stable."
"TeamViewer is fast and easy to manipulate."
"TeamViewer is a very good product to use."
"TeamViewer allows us to do multiple controllers on a Host, which is great. We have a lot of Macs in our organization, and TeamViewer being cross-platform is a good thing."
"The quality of the call and the quality of the sharing have been excellent."
"Their tech support is really good."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"Microsoft Intune is a very strong platform, but there are still some areas where it could improve."
"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."
"Setting up Intune Autopilot can be a little complicated."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better."
"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."
"You can't configure multiple, unattended control passwords on the Mac. On the Mac, there's only one. On Windows, there are multiple unattended control passwords. I have people in different departments. My infrastructure people need to control a server and my developers may need to go into that same server. But I don't want them to have the same password... on the Mac, it can be done but it's extremely clunky and problematic."
"TeamViewer is publicly available and anyone can use it. This is the reason that many organizations do not permit the use of this solution."
"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."
"The connection and reconnection sometimes lag and can cause problems."
"It would be beneficial to have group functionalities to separate access when many consultants want to access different departments or clients at the same time."
"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"Improvements are required in the area of scalability since it is an aspect of the tool where there are shortcomings."
"Ease of access is a bit of a challenge."
"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

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"TeamViewer pricing is reasonable... The simultaneous controller licensing model of TeamViewer - compared to LogMeIn’s controlled Host licensing model - seems to benefit us so far. We’re currently saving about 30 percent on licensing cost... The savings from licensing have been eaten up by the soft costs involved in dealing with and working around TeamViewer’s deficiencies in allowing granular control by multiple controllers, and the issues with the various settings that are missing on the macOS Host."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"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)."
"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 not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The tool is not cheap."
