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

"Within Intune, managing policies and having a consistent way to manage devices is valuable."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them, with standardized settings, so we can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."
"Previously, we used on-prem SCCM to deploy applications we built manually. After migrating to Intune, we automated and streamlined the process of deploying applications with autopilot. I can do more with my day. I can manage more applications and ensure that they're updated without monitoring and manually starting that process all over again."
"We are able to deliver applications fast to our mobile workloads so that users can make use of it instantly."
"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."
"These capabilities have made a significant impact in my work, providing a comprehensive view of all devices and features in a single platform."
"Microsoft Intune is reliable, scalable, and user-friendly."
"It is very easy to configure and very easy to use."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"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."
"I recommend it as a solution for remote disk users."
"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."
"I find the mouse control and the ability to click for them very effective. I can move the mouse and click on buttons as if sitting at their computer. These are the basic features I use most often in the solution. There are tricker features that I don't use much because I don't need them frequently. Overall, it's a great tool for helping others with their computer issues without traveling to their location or another building."
"Saves travel time, and wide support of platforms allows for a single solution."
"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 installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"However, I dislike how it lags sometimes. I cannot work on multiple processes at the same time."
"The reporting part needs improvement, and it would be beneficial if it could integrate with third-party tools instead of just Power BI."
"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."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"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."
"Support for mobile devices from Linux has been missing since the Native client was rolled out."
"Sometimes we'll have a device in the field, and I'll click on remote control and it says "Can't authenticate." I'll double click in a different part of the TeamViewer interface and it'll say "Can't authenticate." Then I'll do it a third time and it connects. It's possible that it's just bad luck. It's also very possible that it's some bug within TeamViewer..."
"In the past, use in wireless environments caused buffering due to limited bandwidth."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
"The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better."
"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."
"TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data."
"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."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"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 are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
