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

"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"Autopilot is a feature I really like."
"The most important part is that they're fast in implementing and integrating with the Windows operating system, as well as how it integrates with other Office 365 products."
"The best thing about Intune for the customers is simply that it's included in the different plans of Microsoft 365."
"It significantly reduces the overhead associated with providing support."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"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 product is really straightforward and completely easy to implement."
"I’d advise users to go for it and try it out as it saves time for IT, allowing them to remote in from wherever they are so they don’t have to come to you and it makes troubleshooting simple."
"It's a user-friendly product."
"It’s pretty dependable and very easy to use."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote into another device."
"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."
"The product’s ease of use and security are valuable."
 

Cons

"The technical support from Microsoft is not good, they take a long time to respond to a case and they do not update you on what is happening on a case."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"The security features should be improved."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"When clients have a newer version installed and we only have a license for version 8, there are issues."
"We have a consultant that helps us do the virtual aspects of TeamViewer."
"Customer support for TeamViewer is quite slow. They do reply, but the reply timing is more than forty-eight hours, which is not acceptable for any service industry."
"It would be very helpful if they could provide a manual for the installation process and describe more of their features."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer is expensive, and you get a limited number of connections for your money."
"ITBrain should be embedded in the product and not an expensive add-on."
"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."
"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."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
"Ease of access is a bit of a challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."
"The price could be better."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"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."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"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."
"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."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
