TeamViewer Business saves time and money for small companies by reducing travel, despite occasional macOS host challenges.
Everything we've gained from it makes my job easier day after day, and I see value in it as an engineer.
Importantly, when someone leaves the company, it helps protect document access on their devices.
Applications are deployed through Intune, and we see fewer tickets for common issues because we can resolve them through the solution.

Microsoft Intune support varies, with premium plans offering better service, while basic support suffers from delays and inconsistencies.

ConnectWise ScreenConnect support is praised for responsiveness and options, but some user experiences with delayed help affect its perception.
Sentiment score
7.4
TeamViewer Business's support is prompt and professional, with users appreciating the knowledgeable staff and effective issue resolution.
When a support ticket is submitted, it directly reaches someone with Intune support expertise.
When I contacted Microsoft, they had the same expertise, if not more, which is phenomenal because I felt heard and my problem was solved.
Sometimes, the support provided is excellent, and the representative is knowledgeable, while other times, the service needs improvement.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Microsoft Intune excels in scalability and adaptability, effectively managing thousands of devices for organizations of all sizes.
Sentiment score
7.9
ConnectWise ScreenConnect is praised for its scalability, offering flexible license management and consistent performance even with large user bases.
Sentiment score
7.4
TeamViewer Business offers effective scalability for diverse needs, though some challenges exist in complex, larger company environments.
The scalability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten.
Ideally, we want to automatically segregate devices based on user properties like primary use, but currently, dynamic groups seem limited to device properties.
It supports organizations with 200 endpoints and those with more than 15,000 endpoints.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Microsoft Intune is stable with occasional issues; rated highly for reliability, though some improvements are still needed.
Sentiment score
7.9
ConnectWise ScreenConnect is stable and reliable, with low CPU usage and infrequent disruptions, comparable to leading remote tools.
Sentiment score
8.0
TeamViewer Business is reliable and stable, with minimal issues and quick resolution of rare downtimes, earning high user ratings.
We have not experienced downtime, bugs, or glitches.
Microsoft Intune has been very stable.
A couple of years ago, the performance was not as good as it is now, but there are noticeable backend improvements.
 

Room For Improvement

Microsoft Intune faces challenges in cross-platform support, deployment complexity, feature limitations, and integration, affecting user experience and adoption.
ConnectWise ScreenConnect needs better customization, documentation clarity, file transfer, dual monitor support, reporting, installation, and feature enhancements.
TeamViewer Business users seek better Linux integration, session management, interoperability, mobile features, and account systems, with pricing improvements.
Features like unlocking devices sometimes fail, and the support offered for other operating systems is insufficient.
There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now.
Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive.
 

Setup Cost

Microsoft Intune offers cost-effective, flexible licensing options, especially when bundled, providing significant savings compared to alternatives like VMware and IBM.
Enterprise users appreciate ConnectWise ScreenConnect's value, flexible pricing, and robust features, despite slightly high initial costs.
Enterprise users find TeamViewer Business pricing competitive yet high, with flexible licensing but need careful connection management to avoid extra costs.
Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs.
The Intune suite and add-ons, such as batch management and remote help, are costly.
It costs approximately forty euros per user per month.
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft Intune offers efficient device management, security, and integration with Microsoft services, enhancing productivity and data protection.
ConnectWise ScreenConnect provides secure remote access with powerful management, customizable branding, and seamless integration, enhancing global client interactions.
TeamViewer Business offers cross-platform remote access, file sharing, rapid connectivity, and enhanced security with user-friendly, multi-device support.
Intune excels in configuration and compliance management for Windows 10, ensuring devices receive timely updates and adhere to organizational standards.
Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow.
Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management.

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.
Todd Blake - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
