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.

Cons

"There are areas that have room for improvement in Microsoft Intune, particularly regarding integrations."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."
"The only drawback or challenge is that it does not support server deployment."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"My assessment of the user experience of Microsoft Intune is that it is sometimes good and sometimes poor, depending on Microsoft's infrastructure."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
"Sometimes we'll have a device in the field, and I'll click on remote control and it says "Can't authenticate." I'll double click in a different part of the TeamViewer interface and it'll say "Can't authenticate." Then I'll do it a third time and it connects. It's possible that it's just bad luck. It's also very possible that it's some bug within TeamViewer..."
"It would be useful if the solution could facilitate more than one remote user accessing my desktop at a time."
"It's not the program itself that's an issue, but there is a need for some better documentation on how to use the web portal Management Console."
"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."
"The solution could have better scalability."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"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."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"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."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"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 are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"It has probably saved us several thousands of dollars because we have quick access anywhere. We don't have to worry about finding people onsite or arranging conference calls. We also save time and money with it because we don't have to send somebody onsite to troubleshoot."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The tool is not cheap."
