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.

Has provided reliable policy controls and secure web access for large enterprises

I consider Cloudflare when evaluating centralized access control features; Cloudflare utilizes multi-factor authentication and full API support, while F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) needs to enhance its API support. I recommend F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) for large companies such as Tüpraş and Ford. Tüpraş is one of the biggest companies in Turkey, along with other customers such as Tofaş, Euroko, Koç Holding, and more. For on-premises deployment, I would rate it a 10. For cloud deployment, I would rate it a seven. I primarily use it on-premises. I rate F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) eight out of ten.

Remote sessions have become smoother and now resolve end user issues more comfortably

One feedback I have is regarding the voice feature. Whenever we take a remote session, the voice gets enabled automatically, and we have to mute it from our side. A pop-up asking whether we want to continue with the voice or not would be helpful when accessing a remote session. The audio system could be improved because sometimes we are not aware that we need to unmute the team while taking a remote session. The end user can hear us talking with colleagues, and we sometimes forget that we have unmuted while taking a remote session. If a pop-up appears when we take a remote session with the end user asking us to unmute ourselves, that would be better for us to proceed. When the pop-up appears, we can directly mute ourselves, and the end user will not be able to hear the background noise from the office. Since many colleagues are taking remote sessions and talking to end users simultaneously, there is often significant background noise. Having this pop-up appear when accessing a remote session with the end user would be a helpful update.

More Microsoft Intune pros

More TeamViewer ONE pros

Cons

"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."

"One thing that could be better in Microsoft Intune is the file size, as it is quite large at times."

"If we can not seem to get even half a dozen users working with the product in a way we consider stable, the scalability is in question."

"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."

"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."

"Microsoft Intune has potential for improvement; I would like to see a lot more customization in the reporting tools."

"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."

"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Regarding price, I'm not directly involved in purchasing, but our CIO thinks the product is very expensive. He's considering moving from the tool to Citrix NetScaler WAF because it's cheaper, and we already have Citrix for VDI. We got NetScaler almost free as part of our VDI deal. Three years ago, I convinced him to use the solution because it's better, but now, with budget constraints, he may want to switch."

"The solution is quite costly."

"Cloud services are something that F5 Access Policy Manager could do better."

"F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager has room for improvement in integration with other products."

"In my opinion, the GUI side needs some improvement based on my usage. Sometimes, it doesn't work as efficiently as the CLI side."

More F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) cons

"Sometimes you need more services and need to buy more, depending on if you need it short term or long term."

"I prefer to use AnyDesk. I actually uninstalled TeamViewer."

"When a user is engaged in a chat on a system with a remote user present, copying the chat content isn't easy."

"My team needs full remote support plus more security when transferring data, so TeamViewer Remote Management isn't the best solution for the company."

"In the last 12 months we actually made a decision to go away from TeamViewer. Part of it has to do with the fact that TeamViewer is very expensive."

"The price point would probably be an area of improvement with the number of competitors out there offering similar features. TeamViewer usually comes in a little high as compared to other solutions."

"Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."

"The solution is a bit expensive. It could be cheaper."

More TeamViewer ONE cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."

"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."

"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
