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

"When a user receives the machine, sets it up, and turns it on, it connects to the domain and begins installing software, becoming ready within approximately half an hour, which represents a significant time savings for IT departments."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"It saves time, money, and resources; when there was a local liaison, managing everything was a significant challenge, but with Microsoft Intune, it has become much easier—around 60% to 70% easier—and in terms of reliability and ease of use, it excels."
"The management control feature is the most valuable."
"Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration."
"This solution saves us a lot of time once it's implemented."
"Intune saves time, and it is very easy to use. It allows us to manage applications completely."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."
"One of the best features of TeamViewer Business is the security and respect for privacy, since you can connect to a specific computer using a unique confidential code, ensuring that security and safety are maintained with no problems."
"Ever since we have been using TeamViewer Business, because of how quick it is to connect to a user across the globe, we have been able to close tickets rapidly."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"TeamViewer is useful for accessing data and systems remotely. Using this application, I can access other computers using an ID number that I provide to the users whose laptop I would like to access."
"TeamViewer Business does a lot in the enterprise part and has many features that can be used in big organizations, and it is able to assist on the network side, monitoring, security side, and remote side, making it a good platform and solution to use."
"It's pretty easy to use. Just key in an ID and password and connect. For meetings, just enter the meeting ID and connect."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"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."
 

Cons

"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune is absolutely useless for protecting my environment."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"What frustrates me the most is just waiting and tapping my fingers, uncertain about whether my changes will take effect."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
"We have a consultant that helps us do the virtual aspects of TeamViewer."
"I think the pricing could have been improved, as smaller organizations like us usually need a low-cost tool."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
"I don’t see any areas where improvement is needed."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have group functionalities to separate access when many consultants want to access different departments or clients at the same time."
"Every now and then you'll get a silent crash and you relaunch the application. But it happens no more than with anything else in the Windows environment."
"It would be very helpful if they could provide a manual for the installation process and describe more of their features."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"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."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"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."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
