AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Allows an ease of access to various systems and has a straightforward setup process
The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues We cannot see the number of monitors working on the system simultaneously. It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows. The product's stability depends on the network's stability in our…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"It's easy to manage."
"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier."
"Once it is well integrated with the rest of the environment, it makes everything easy."
"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."
"It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI."
"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."
"The most valuable feature has been the ability to give control to others for support purposes."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"The implementation process is simple."
"It is a scalable product."
"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"There should be more predictability in the release cycle. We don't feel we have any control over when new updates come out, and whether there are changes to the backend functionality or to the user interface. Updates just happen."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"There is room for improvement in server patch management and allowing direct uploads of EXE applications instead of needing to convert them to Intune format, which would save time."
"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 would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"Every now and then you'll get a silent crash and you relaunch the application. But it happens no more than with anything else in the Windows environment."
"Sometimes it lags."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"The solution could have better scalability."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"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."
"It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"The price could be better."
"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer pricing is reasonable... The simultaneous controller licensing model of TeamViewer - compared to LogMeIn’s controlled Host licensing model - seems to benefit us so far. We’re currently saving about 30 percent on licensing cost... The savings from licensing have been eaten up by the soft costs involved in dealing with and working around TeamViewer’s deficiencies in allowing granular control by multiple controllers, and the issues with the various settings that are missing on the macOS Host."
"The cost of the licenses depends on how you buy them. They just had a buy one get one free deal going, and they do that every once in a while. Where you buy one license, and they will give you the second one free, or you can try to get discounts. Most of our licenses that we have we tried to do something like that just to save some money."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
