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.

Remote support has transformed my work and now saves time with fast, secure file transfers
What I appreciate about TeamViewer Business is the reliable and secure connection experienced during file transfers or troubleshooting processes, even when we have to restart the PC; we are still able to connect to the customer quickly. TeamViewer Business offers a free version for both personal and business use. The free version actually covers all the features needed for secure remote connection, which is one of the positive aspects I have experienced. The secure connections and great file transfer feature are super fast and secure, with reliable features during the process of reconnecting and connecting back to clients. Back in 2009 and 2007, the internet did not have the faster features it has today. TeamViewer Business's file transfer feature has made things easier. Instead of downloading a file from a source like HP.com, we just have to transfer the file from our system to the customer securely and quickly. Many technical support people have benefited from that feature, which I find very reliable.

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's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"Microsoft Intune does a great job of helping protect our environment."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
"We also use it a lot for remote site assistance. We've set up our internal authentication for unattended access to our remote sites. That makes it very easy and convenient to remotely connect with our users and our client machines whenever we need to. It's set as a direct, secure connection. As long as the station has internet access, we can see it and it makes remote support very simple."
"TeamViewer Business has positively impacted our organization by reducing the time of the TAT for resolving issues for end users, which has really helped us."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"Ease of use was the number-one thing. It's an industry leader for ease of use, specifically on the client-side, which is the absolutely critical thing. If I want to connect to somebody, how easily can I — without seeing their computer — walk them through the steps to install it to a point where I can key in the code and help them resolve their situation?... TeamViewer is just a dead-solid, easy answer."
"The dashboards they have are good."
"The solution is a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. Anyone is able to use it, it is simple to use."
"The product’s ease of use and security are valuable."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in server patch management and allowing direct uploads of EXE applications instead of needing to convert them to Intune format, which would save time."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"We are currently unable to control aspects of group policy from Teams like we can for GPO. They are still not part of Intune. Microsoft is adding this, but it's currently in preview, and few GPO features have been added to the product."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."
"TeamViewer could improve by adding support for other operating systems, such as Linux and CAKE."
"The product can sometimes crash."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"I think the pricing could have been improved, as smaller organizations like us usually need a low-cost tool."
"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."
"TeamViewer can improve by making the interface more user-friendly. It looks very basic, they can make it more modern and easy to use."
"I don’t see any areas where improvement is needed."
"I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone."
"Improvements are required in the area of scalability since it is an aspect of the tool where there are shortcomings."
"Ease of access is a bit of a challenge."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"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."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."
"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."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"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)."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"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."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
