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.

Remote support has reduced client visits and saves us significant time and costs
The best features that AnyDesk offers in my experience are the remote control and remote access. Those features are valuable to me because of the ease in how you connect remotely without necessarily installing AnyDesk on your computer. You just download the application, open it, and it gives you your address. You share this with your colleague or client, and then in just one click you are connected. Another feature I appreciate about AnyDesk is security. If you are trying to do something that requires administrator rights of the computer that you are working on, it will alert you and request that the person on the other end accept the operation that you are doing. That security feature is excellent. AnyDesk has positively impacted my organization by helping us provide timely help to our clients. This reduces costs because we do not have to travel to the client to help them. I can connect remotely and help someone in a timely manner. I can share a specific outcome where, now that we have more than one hundred clients that we help, I estimate we have saved more than one hundred thousand dollars.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 endpoints."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"It saves time, money, and resources; when there was a local liaison, managing everything was a significant challenge, but with Microsoft Intune, it has become much easier—around 60% to 70% easier—and in terms of reliability and ease of use, it excels."
"Overall, my user experience with Microsoft Intune has been great."
"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"AnyDesk has positively impacted my organization by helping us provide timely help to our clients, reducing costs because we do not have to travel, and with more than one hundred clients I estimate we have saved more than one hundred thousand dollars."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"The most valuable feature has been the ability to give control to others for support purposes."
"There is a relevant return on investment, especially when my previous organizations assisted with remote access features, as rather than needing to go on-site, we could connect remotely, making it easier for those who are not tech-savvy, thanks to TeamViewer Business's user-friendly features, which helped immensely, especially when assisting elderly clients, and ensured we met metrics effectively, creating a significant positive impact."
"With an image, you can see immediately what's going on. You can run some tests. Without the solution, you need to do everything by telephone. It's not even thinkable."
"The document control is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use and beneficial remote access."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."
"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
 

Cons

"To make it a perfect ten, it would be helpful if there was a better way to troubleshoot user issues, as I've had a few users with corrupt files before and had to redeploy it without knowing the root cause."
"The security aspect could be more effective. We are using other applications to manage network devices and groups, so if Microsoft Intune could improve in this area, especially on a network level, it would be a real advantage."
"One thing I would suggest is that servers are not getting managed through Microsoft Intune."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"Customer service used to be better, but as we are nearing the end of the contract, the focus on investing in us as a customer has diminished. It is what one would expect in such a situation."
"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."
"An improvement I would like to see for AnyDesk is that the free package has quite a limitation that comes with many advertisements once you exhaust the number of connections."
"TeamViewer could improve by adding support for other operating systems, such as Linux and CAKE."
"The product can sometimes crash."
"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."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"I would like to see TeamViewer support multiple platforms."
"It would be beneficial to have group functionalities to separate access when many consultants want to access different departments or clients at the same time."
"We access the solution through a VPN, which improves our security. However, earlier this year, around the beginning of March, a CVE in the TeamViewer client allowed remote connections to other network systems, which was concerning. You could have unintentionally gained admin rights if you didn't update TeamViewer promptly. It's crucial to always keep it updated to prevent such issues. The tool should consider implementing two-factor authentication to improve such security holes. It should also integrate good security updates, which should be implemented automatically."
"TeamViewer Business could be improved with a very basic transfer interface for files and folders transfer with an indication of the size of the transferred files and estimated time needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
Information not available
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."

"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
