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.

Easy setup and effective support

I am with the company that sells LogMeIn Rescue. So, we engage with end customers, enterprise customers, manufacturing customers, BFSI customers, and healthcare customers. We try to find their use cases and provision our solution accordingly. For instance, if someone is in manufacturing and wants…

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

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."

"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"

"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."

"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."

"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices."

"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."

"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."

"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Customer satisfaction went up by 40 percent and productivity for my staff went up by 30 percent."

"The ability see iOS devices helps us out a lot because the majority of our users are iOS device users."

"The tech support person I spoke to was very knowledgeable about the product, and was straightforward with me about its capabilities. There was no fluff about the product. They basically said this is not available now and we're hoping to have it available in the third or fourth quarter. It was nice to talk to someone who was straightforward and knew about the product."

"Being able to reboot computers into safe mode, when needed. That has come in handy in regards to IT troubleshooting."

"It is very straightforward to set up, use, install, and transfer sessions."

"For people whose computers we maintain, we can have those computers on file. Without having somebody to invite us, we can actually log in automatically, and that’s unlimited."

"We are able to quickly and easily get clients connected to our triage techs which allows us to resolve issues much more quickly, and with little stress."

"Our favorite feature is being able to diagnose customers' problems by seeing them on the screen, rather than just over the phone."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

"It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI."

"I recommend it as a solution for remote disk users."

"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."

"This solution is straightforward to use."

"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."

"The solution is scalable."

"The product is easy to install."

"The product is quite stable. The performance is good."

More TeamViewer pros

Cons

"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."

"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."

"Applying security recommendations can be difficult in Microsoft Intune. Sometimes, they give you recommendations, but you need a different server to manage the pieces, or you have to go to each device individually. However, it has been improving. Before, there were certain policies you could not implement directly in Intune, but now I see progress. I would like to see more improvement in policy management, similar to how we used group policies on-premises."

"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."

"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."

"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."

"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."

"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Support to remotely control more mobile devices' screens is desperately needed. It is sad to see how long this product has been out and how many phones are still not supported for, specifically, remote screen control."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"The app itself requires so many different updates and it requires us to rebuild it every time, and that's been a bit of a problem, over the last five years, in keeping it up to date for our clients."

"I do wish there was an application to manage all of the admin properties of the subscription, rather than having to use the web portal."

"The one big problem that I have with LogMeIn Rescue is, I use a Mac. All my technicians use PCs. I use a Mac, and the Mac agent crashes at least once a day. I have to stop it and start it again. To date, I don’t have a problem with people using PC. I think the Mac app that they have needs to be improved."

"it needs better iOS integration. It's still limited in its functionality when it comes to iOS. Currently, when you do something other than iOS, you're not able to take control of what's going on; instead of having to tell the user, "Click here, click there," I would like to have full control over an iOS device."

"They need to improve their technical support."

"I would like a single sign on for all of our (five) accounts so that I can immediately use an available seat. Right now, I have to try to log in with each account separately, in an attempt to find an available license that is not currently in use."

More LogMeIn Rescue cons

"TeamViewer can improve by making the interface more user-friendly. It looks very basic, they can make it more modern and easy to use."

"Sometimes it lags."

"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."

"The security could improve in TeamViewer."

"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."

"The performance could always be better."

"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."

"Support for mobile devices from Linux has been missing since the Native client was rolled out. This was a nice option, especially when trying to walk somebody who was struggling to understand something on their phone."

More TeamViewer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."

"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."

"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."

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

"Microsoft licenses are costly."

"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."

"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."

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The rescue model is licensed by user."

"I did look into a couple of other products, TeamViewer in particular, at one point. The price point of Rescue, compared to some of the other things that are in the marketplace right now, is high. But it's what I would call the "Cadillac" of the industry."

"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need."

"Right now, I'm using ScreenConnect, which is about $45 per technician. Unless I buy LogMeIn with a large license and commit for the long-term and prepay, I will have to pay almost $120 per user a month. It's almost three times the price over the normal price for ScreenConnect, which is very similar in regards to all of the features that LogMeIn Rescue can do."

"The only downside is pricing. I think each technician license is somewhere around $100 or $120 a month now. So if you have a lot of technicians, it can get expensive, for a small business."

"It is on the medium to high side. For us, it is worth it. For the amount of time they save us, it pretty much pays for itself."

"Pricing is reasonable and easily offsets other costs, while resolving issues in a much quicker timeframe."

"The pricing is worth the value."

More LogMeIn Rescue pricing and cost advice

"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."

"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."

"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."

"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."

"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."

"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."

"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."

"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
