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 most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."
"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 thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified. We have all machines connected to it at all times, whether they are in the office or working from home."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"Intune's compliance features are valuable because they allow immediate visibility into ongoing situations."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"TeamViewer is very easy to set up, use, and instruct others to get running, which is great for support."
"TeamViewer Business is one of the best tools that we use in my organization for support, especially when our customers troubleshoot."
"Saving users in the interface has helped our workflow and made things easier for our team because we use it every single day, and we would struggle to support our teams effectively without TeamViewer Business; it has made things much easier."
"TeamViewer is a scalable solution."
"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
"Once you use it, you will never want to use another remote service product again."
"The usability and graphic interface stand out for me because it is very easy to understand, with upper bars, all the features, and the file transfer functionality."
"The implementation process is simple."
"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 want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"I cannot think of any particular features which I consider to be most valuable."
"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."
"Issues such as Windows 32 app failures occur frequently, and detailed manual detection rules are often necessary."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"We are not satisfied with technical support. Some improvements might be required."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"On occasion, when remote connection process can't connect to a machine, the error messages aren't always helpful to tell you why you can't connect, as the message doesn't help troubleshoot whether it is too slow, too much interference, etc. I usually have to run to another computer and figure out what is going on, then restart it. The diagnostics could be improved."
"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"ITBrain should be embedded in the product and not an expensive add-on."
"It needs to have proper authentication."
"We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I don’t see any areas where improvement is needed."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
"Ease of access is a bit of a challenge."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"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 rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."
"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."
"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)."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The tool is not cheap."
