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

"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"This solution saves us a lot of time once it's implemented."
"Microsoft Intune has saved me about 30% of my time through streamlined processes and efficient resource management."
"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI."
"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
"It is a scalable product."
"The implementation process is simple."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"This is a unique solution that is very easy to install."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"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

"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"The interface is easy, but it is not user-friendly when evaluating the overall user experience of Microsoft Intune."
"I have not been satisfied with it, and I am planning to change it soon. There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"Customer service used to be better, but as we are nearing the end of the contract, the focus on investing in us as a customer has diminished. It is what one would expect in such a situation."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The security aspect could be more effective."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"Sometimes it lags."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
"TeamViewer Business could be improved with a very basic transfer interface for files and folders transfer with an indication of the size of the transferred files and estimated time needed."
"I am not sure about all the features of TeamViewer, but if they have no voice communication or file transfer features they should add them."
"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

"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"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 used the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The tool is not cheap."
