Featured Reviews

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.
Brian Hershey - PeerSpot reviewer
It covers you for HIPAA and PCI certification
Take Control is a way to remotely take over the console of a managed machine, but it also gives you other abilities. You can take over the console, access the registry, throw commands at it in the background, and manipulate the file system Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users.…
GouravSuri - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and offers a good UI to users
In terms of the product's security features, the solution allows you to have team meetings, and you can also use it for remote access and screen-sharing capabilities. TeamViewer is typically like any other team collaboration software. I recommend the product to others since it is a good product for collaboration purposes. There are no connectivity challenges associated with the product. In terms of benefits, I would say that it is a good tool for collaboration, productivity, and virtual work as it saves a lot of commute time for the employees. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."
"Microsoft Intune policies, remote wipe, and using corporate and private profiles are valuable features, but MFA is the most valuable feature as it ensures that the end user is authentic."
"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"The most valuable part of N-able Take Control is being able to remotely access your customer's site. You are able to view their network. Once you have it set up, it's always available. N-able Take Control can be used even when other remote access controls have been made."
"Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users. It's for supporting a workstation where you want the person on the other side to see you moving their mouse, and you can work with them."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"It's a user-friendly product."
"TeamViewer is useful for accessing data and systems remotely. Using this application, I can access other computers using an ID number that I provide to the users whose laptop I would like to access."
"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. I was able to do that without much of an issue. It is also a secure solution."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had a problem with it."
 

Cons

"Reporting needs improvement."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved by adding short video tutorials or direct links to Microsoft articles in the information button."
"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"The dashboards I do not use because there are issues. The solution monitors your antivirus and other programs but it does not seem to work well."
"We've seen some latency problems in AWS environments. Aside from that, it's a pretty solid service."
"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
"One thing I have noticed is that TeamViewer does not work so well when the machine you are trying to connect to remotely is not running the same version as your machine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"N-able Take Control charges you a monthly fee for every customer that you have booked in, and it used to be inexpensive but it's a little bit more expensive now."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
