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.

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.

Easy to deploy, but scalability needs improvement
There are no specific challenges I faced while using the product. I haven't used the solution to support any AI-driven projects. In our company, we need to have remote access to our labs because if not, people have to move to the laboratory, and we will spend a lot of time working. I don't know the features of VNC Connect that improved our company's support capabilities. I rate the tool a six 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

"The solution is easy to use."

"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."

Cons

"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"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."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"Microsoft Intune needs to support out of the box Apple Managed Device and Apple Business Managed Device with zero-touch deployment capabilities, which is something competitors provide."
"Automatic updating is pretty rough. It doesn't give me as much control as I had in the past."
"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"I think the pricing could have been improved, as smaller organizations like us usually need a low-cost tool."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"The support could improve their speed."
"I had an issue recently where my mouse clicks weren’t being registered."
"We’ve never really contacted technical support. I can’t really speak to how helpful they are as I don’t have much experience with them."
"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."
"The voice chat could be better."
"TeamViewer is publicly available and anyone can use it. This is the reason that many organizations do not permit the use of this solution."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
"Improvements are required in the area of scalability since it is an aspect of the tool where there are shortcomings."
"Ease of access is a bit of a challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"It has probably saved us several thousands of dollars because we have quick access anywhere. We don't have to worry about finding people onsite or arranging conference calls. We also save time and money with it because we don't have to send somebody onsite to troubleshoot."
"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)."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
