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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection."
"As an IT administrator, I appreciate Intune's ability to implement granular device-level policies for our organization's employees."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"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."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions."
"I find the mouse control and the ability to click for them very effective. I can move the mouse and click on buttons as if sitting at their computer. These are the basic features I use most often in the solution. There are tricker features that I don't use much because I don't need them frequently. Overall, it's a great tool for helping others with their computer issues without traveling to their location or another building."
"I would advise others this is the best solution for administrators or IT personnel."
"The solution is user-friendly and very flexible."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"It is a scalable product."
"From a cost perspective, it's a great buy."
"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."
"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

"I'm not able to scale because of the issues with macOS management."
"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."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"However, in Microsoft Intune that is not possible because Microsoft releases it across the world as one data piece."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"The downsides of Microsoft Intune include the fact that the interface can sometimes be complex for new administrators."
"Customer support is decent overall, but not perfect. Most issues get resolved but sometimes response time can be a bit slow or require multiple follow-ups."
"In the future, I would like to see improvements in Microsoft Intune, especially related to policies and GPU."
"The support could improve their speed."
"The price is a killer for the amount I normally use it."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"The connection and reconnection sometimes lag and can cause problems."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"Even now, we have customers who will not allow us to connect to them because of security sensitivity, e.g., military departments for clients."
"Support for mobile devices from Linux has been missing since the Native client was rolled out."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"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

"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"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."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"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."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"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's pricing is reasonable."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
