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.
Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.
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.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is quite good because there's not much disturbance in the background; it's just running in the background."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"Solution has a good UI."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"The time savings that we experience from being able to get hands on with a device experiencing trouble, and the time to resolve an issue is substantial."
"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."
"The TeamViewer system has some built-in security. The TeamViewer client connects to the TeamViewer host securely. Only a certain number of authorized users on our side have access to the system. Even within that, an individual endpoint can be assigned to a group, where not everybody has access but, rather, just one or two people who are part of a support team might have access to that particular device. So TeamViewer has given us tools to be able to segregate who has access to different things."
"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."
"It's very easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is you do not need to know the Windows username and password to connect and see the staff screen."
"This solution is straightforward to use."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"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."
 

Cons

"Some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"The user interface should be more user-friendly, as it can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Microsoft often relocates features, making it difficult to consistently find what I need."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"The Remote support solution based on Bomgar has physical appliances deployed and leveraged to serve our multiple customers. Aging appliances are going RMA now and then."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."
"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..."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."
"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."
"There is a paid version of this solution with more features available. However, they should provide more free features to the user, such as factor authentication."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
"I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"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."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"I used 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)."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
