Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Remote access has cut critical issue resolution time and supports faster production troubleshooting
Perhaps on the UI side of TeamViewer because we are connecting to different remote desktop connections or remote server connections. Whenever we are working on one of the production issues and we open multiple connections, it is very hectic or confusing to jump from one server to another server. Perhaps on the UI side, if they can improve something related to the view sessions or which session is connected to which remote server, that would be helpful. Perhaps something related to the authentication because it should have a proper authentication mechanism. Every developer should not access TeamViewer or the remote desktop by using TeamViewer. We always have a proper authentication or multifactor authentication mechanism in place, so only those on on-call support or P1 support at that time can access the remote server, but not anyone else. I chose nine out of 10 because sometimes we face the session timeout issue. Suppose during the production support, we connect to one of the remote servers, and if it is idle for approximately 10 or 15 minutes, the session timeout happens. We have to follow the same authentication mechanism to connect to the remote server again. During the session timeout, it delays our process or the troubleshooting steps, which is the reason I have given nine out of 10 instead of 10.

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

"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"Third party integrations are very convenient to use with Microsoft Intune."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."
"The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints."
"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified."
"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."
"One of the best features of TeamViewer Business is the security and respect for privacy, since you can connect to a specific computer using a unique confidential code, ensuring that security and safety are maintained with no problems."
"Quite literally, without TeamViewer's capabilities, we wouldn't be able to run our business."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote into another device."
"I have always felt that TeamViewer is extremely capable software and, in my many years of using its remote connection service, it has never let me down."
"It is a scalable product."
"The dashboards they have are good."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"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."
"The product’s ease of use and security are valuable."
 

Cons

"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products."
"Back in 2020, there were significant problems with report accuracy, particularly regarding web patching."
"There is room for improvement in Microsoft Intune regarding Linux and Mac compatibility because some limitations exist."
"I would like more clarity on how Intune is migrating control from Active Directory group policies, especially as we move over to Windows 11. It seems inefficient to manage some settings in Active Directory and others in Intune."
"A major challenge is making all the products work within device management solutions like Intune. It would be beneficial if Microsoft removed support for older products much earlier in the process."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"The downsides of Microsoft Intune include the fact that the interface can sometimes be complex for new administrators."
"TeamViewer can improve by making the interface more user-friendly. It looks very basic, they can make it more modern and easy to use."
"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."
"If they could figure out a little better solution for the iOS stuff other than just a screen share, even though it's an Apple thing, and Apple doesn't like to give up control of their devices. If they ever got to that point, and I could manipulate an iPad or iPhone, that would be awesome. Since we have a bunch of iPad users who are struggling with doing different things, it would be nice to be able to just jump on and actually show them, "Here, do this, this, and this." Similar to what we do with the laptops, e.g. for training."
"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."
"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."
"I don’t see any areas where improvement is needed."
"We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility."
"We have a consultant that helps us do the virtual aspects of TeamViewer."
"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."
"Improvements are required in the area of scalability since it is an aspect of the tool where there are shortcomings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"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."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side."
"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."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The tool is not cheap."
