Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Easy to deploy with great security and responsive support
The security on offer is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It offers, for example, two-factor authentification. The remote connection across platforms is great. You can deploy it on anything, including Windows, Mac, iOS, your iPhone, et cetera. It offers multi-platform utility. This makes it great for enterprise. Users can use it for PAM access as well. The feature of Devolutions that has improved our customer's efficiency the most is probably the security side. It's gotten a lot tighter. Authentication and secure connections are helpful. They use encryption between them, which is just standard for them. The company has so many regulatory controls that they must ensure their security is very tight. There's a lot of potential cybercrime around casinos, and this solution ensures they are well-protected. Devolutions is a great product that can be safely used between China, Australia, or the Philippines, and it remains a good, safe product.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune is a very effective solution from my understanding, and I definitely would recommend it."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"The core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is not only the management itself, but also how well it integrates with other Microsoft technologies."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."
"Setup and installation was simple."
"Documentation per entry, good for device configs or important/special instructions."
""Inherited" function for credentials - Configure the desired credential at one (top) location, and use the Inherited function on all sub-connections that should use this credential."
"Being able to aggregate all connections (RDP, FTP, SSH, VPN, etc.) in the same interface and make each server readily available in the same way, which lets me focus on the problem regardless of where it is."
"Makes me instantly more focused on resolving the issue rather than getting to the issue."
"It sped up our response rate to anything that happened in the network."
"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."
"The ability to have all the connection information in one location saves so much time from trying to manage the same information across different applications."
"The most valuable feature has been the ability to give control to others for support purposes."
"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
"Their tech support is really good."
"I like that it helped a lot, even with low bandwidth network connectivity; for example, while I was traveling, sometimes there were requirements for me to join a TeamViewer session and provide technical support, and I was able to do that without much of an issue."
"This product is very simple to use and you can connect whether you are behind a firewall or not."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"It’s pretty dependable and very easy to use."
 

Cons

"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"Intune has no remote control function for mobile phones to solve issues remotely for users."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. 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. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."
"Issues such as Windows 32 app failures occur frequently, and detailed manual detection rules are often necessary."
"I have one remark about the application management for the Android version. Often, the Play Store opens and leaves the possibility to download to the user, which is not good."
"For migrations, sometimes we experience some issues with OS deployment and the user experience side."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"The console is a little bit clunky."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates."
"On occasion, when remote connection process can't connect to a machine, the error messages aren't always helpful to tell you why you can't connect, as the message doesn't help troubleshoot whether it is too slow, too much interference, etc. I usually have to run to another computer and figure out what is going on, then restart it. The diagnostics 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..."
"Customer support for TeamViewer is quite slow. They do reply, but the reply timing is more than forty-eight hours, which is not acceptable for any service industry."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data."
"In the past, use in wireless environments caused buffering due to limited bandwidth."
"TeamViewer Business could be improved with a very basic transfer interface for files and folders transfer with an indication of the size of the transferred files and estimated time needed."
"I am not sure about all the features of TeamViewer, but if they have no voice communication or file transfer features they should add them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"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."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"Setup costs for most people is negligible."
"The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."
"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."
"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."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"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)."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
