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.

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

"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"Microsoft Intune has a pretty positive impact overall, especially in terms of device management efficiency and supporting remote work."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"We are a Microsoft 365 E5 customer and the product promises the capabilities that we need and is available without additional cost."
"This solution is straightforward to use."
"It's a user-friendly product."
"From just a cost perspective, it pays for itself within the first month, or probably less than that."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"There are only two of us in the core of the company and we manage about 500 machines based in the UK, mainland Europe, US, Hong Kong, China and South Africa."
"Working with TeamViewer has made customer support work more efficient."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer Tensor is the remote access."
"I would advise others this is the best solution for administrators or IT personnel."
"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."
"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
 

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."
"Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected."
"The solution does require maintenance, and it is complex to maintain, especially regarding updates, patching, and releases."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
"Packages on different identity provider platforms that are not supported present challenges for package installation."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"I believe the graphical resolutions can be improved on the product, as apart from this, the product is very easy to use and easy on the eye."
"But still, I think the price factor for small business."
"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."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
"We have a consultant that helps us do the virtual aspects of TeamViewer."
"I didn't like the fact that you had to install a client for remote support. If you didn't install the client, you were very limited in terms of what you could do. For a whole enterprise, it is just not an easy task to install a client on everything. Even if you're using SCCM, it is an undertaking. For transient clients that you don't necessarily support a hundred percent of the time, it would be nice to be able to connect to them and support their issues without having to install something on their machines. In my previous company, we were looking at this solution as being a collaborative tool for the enterprise in terms of video conferencing, calling, and scheduling. They were working on bringing a bunch of products together to make their suite a little more integrated, but it really wasn't at the point where we wanted it to be in terms of integration. We looked at it, reviewed it, and tested it out a bit. We then decided to go with Microsoft Teams. It has the clunkiness of having separate modules that aren't totally integrated. There are different methods for doing different things, which makes it a little bit more complicated. There should be the same way whether you are doing remote support or just calls."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"...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 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."
"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."
"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)."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
