Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.
Sanjay Patankar - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance
It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication.  It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good.  It's got a lot of resources for users.  The product is easy to install.…

Secure, reliable, and great for remote access
It makes access very easy. If we have to work at night or after office hours, if customers report a problem, we can solve issues remotely, outside of office hours, from wherever. The initial setup is straightforward. The solution is stable. It is scalable. Technical support is easy to reach.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"The most valuable feature is Intune's ability to push out updates for the security and antivirus. I also like Intune's copilot and the ability to automate processes. For example, if you have 5,000 employees who are issued new PCs and you need to set them up with everything they need."
"From my perspective, the most important is the login."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"The solution is a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. Anyone is able to use it, it is simple to use."
"I have found the solution to be user-friendly even for beginners. It is not that sophisticated. There are different types of security features available, such as encryption and random machine ID."
"The dashboards they have are good."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
"The product is quite stable. The performance is good."
"It is a scalable solution. "
"Screen monitoring and screen sharing, as well as screen remote control, are all very useful features."
"Technical support is easy to reach."
 

Cons

"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"Possibly, in future releases, it could be more enhanced."
"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."
"TeamViewer is publicly available and anyone can use it. This is the reason that many organizations do not permit the use of this solution. It is not considered to be secure enough."
"It's not the program itself that's an issue, but there is a need for some better documentation on how to use the web portal Management Console. That seems to be a bit lacking in directions, if you aren't paying attention and you don't know what to do. Better documentation would make it a little bit easier to set things up in different groups and share groups between people."
"TeamViewer is expensive, and you get a limited number of connections for your money."
"Sometimes it lags."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"Support could be more knowledgeable."
"They do have some glitches in the microphone and speaker, especially during remote access."
"It could be integrated with IT management tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"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's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"The cost of the licenses depends on how you buy them. They just had a buy one get one free deal going, and they do that every once in a while. Where you buy one license, and they will give you the second one free, or you can try to get discounts. Most of our licenses that we have we tried to do something like that just to save some money."
"We are using 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)."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"Its scalability depends on the business model we purchase."
