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.

Secure access is simplified with easy login for virtual machines
I am provisioning virtual machines for educational institutions such as schools and colleges. The access to these virtual machines is provided via Apache Guacamole Apache Guacamole is really easy to use. If I have ten virtual machines provisioned under my name, I can access them with a single…

Allows an ease of access to various systems and has a straightforward setup process
The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues We cannot see the number of monitors working on the system simultaneously. It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows. The product's stability depends on the network's stability in our…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"There are many features in Microsoft Intune. For personal mobile devices, MDM is what I most prefer."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"EAM is a godsend."
"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices. We can ship devices globally, and users can set them up on their own. It's convenient."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"For those considering using Apache Guacamole, I wholeheartedly support its users since it's a free open-source software that is easy to download and use with no significant issues."
"I'm using Apache Guacamole as a gateway."
"Apache Guacamole is really easy to use."
"It's a user-friendly product."
"From my perspective, the most important is the login."
"The solution is scalable."
"With an image, you can see immediately what's going on. You can run some tests. Without the solution, you need to do everything by telephone. It's not even thinkable."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had a problem with it."
"TeamViewer has been one of the easiest, right off the bat products, that we have employed at the college. We have had no issues. It's been one of the easiest solutions to pick up."
"I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product."
"TeamViewer is stable."
 

Cons

"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"I assess the stability of the product as low. I have faced downtime crashes and performance issues with Microsoft Intune."
"If we could remote into a device, it would be great. Currently, we cannot directly connect to the user device. We have to use other tools such as VMware for connecting to devices."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization. Even though I can try customizing the GUI, the documentation is not comprehensive."
"The solution's USB redirection could be improved."
"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..."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."
"TeamViewer could improve by adding support for other operating systems, such as Linux and CAKE."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
"TeamViewer is expensive, and you get a limited number of connections for your money."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"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"
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
Information not available
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"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."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"I used 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..."
"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)."
