Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.

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 supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified. We have all machines connected to it at all times, whether they are in the office or working from home."
"What I like most about Intune is its seamless enrollment process, particularly the Autopilot method."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"It is a scalable product."
"Ease of use was the number-one thing. It's an industry leader for ease of use, specifically on the client-side, which is the absolutely critical thing. If I want to connect to somebody, how easily can I — without seeing their computer — walk them through the steps to install it to a point where I can key in the code and help them resolve their situation?... TeamViewer is just a dead-solid, easy answer."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote into another device."
"The implementation process is simple."
"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."
"The solution is a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. Anyone is able to use it, it is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature has been the ability to give control to others for support purposes."
 

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."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."
"The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"Customer service is not really good. I would give it a six out of ten. The main issue is the time it takes to get someone involved who truly understands what the product does."
"It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions. We've had to sacrifice voice."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product can sometimes crash."
"A feature that they could add is chat with sound to talk."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
"It's pretty limited on the options they have."
"I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The E5 license is expensive."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
"Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"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."
"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 permanent license and the price is reasonable."
