Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

Easy to deploy with great security and responsive support

The security on offer is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It offers, for example, two-factor authentification. The remote connection across platforms is great. You can deploy it on anything, including Windows, Mac, iOS, your iPhone, et cetera. It offers multi-platform utility. This makes it great for enterprise. Users can use it for PAM access as well. The feature of Devolutions that has improved our customer's efficiency the most is probably the security side. It's gotten a lot tighter. Authentication and secure connections are helpful. They use encryption between them, which is just standard for them. The company has so many regulatory controls that they must ensure their security is very tight. There's a lot of potential cybercrime around casinos, and this solution ensures they are well-protected. Devolutions is a great product that can be safely used between China, Australia, or the Philippines, and it remains a good, safe product.

Remote access has cut critical issue resolution time and supports faster production troubleshooting

Perhaps on the UI side of TeamViewer because we are connecting to different remote desktop connections or remote server connections. Whenever we are working on one of the production issues and we open multiple connections, it is very hectic or confusing to jump from one server to another server. Perhaps on the UI side, if they can improve something related to the view sessions or which session is connected to which remote server, that would be helpful. Perhaps something related to the authentication because it should have a proper authentication mechanism. Every developer should not access TeamViewer or the remote desktop by using TeamViewer. We always have a proper authentication or multifactor authentication mechanism in place, so only those on on-call support or P1 support at that time can access the remote server, but not anyone else. I chose nine out of 10 because sometimes we face the session timeout issue. Suppose during the production support, we connect to one of the remote servers, and if it is idle for approximately 10 or 15 minutes, the session timeout happens. We have to follow the same authentication mechanism to connect to the remote server again. During the session timeout, it delays our process or the troubleshooting steps, which is the reason I have given nine out of 10 instead of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."

"We saw a strong return on investment with Microsoft Intune, as it reduced the time spent on device provisioning, software deployment, and security policy management through automation and centralized control while also enabling faster onboarding for new devices, improved compliance management, and lower operational overhead for the IT team by reducing the need for manual device configuration and support."

"We are able to deliver applications fast to our mobile workloads so that users can make use of it instantly."

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Microsoft Intune to organizations looking for management of a large number of devices and enterprise environments."

"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."

"Microsoft Intune simplifies device management by replacing the traditional method of installing OS, joining a domain, and configuring everything manually."

"We are transforming our flat network by adopting different cloud solutions, and our own applications are hosted in the cloud. Intune ensures our security throughout our entire cloud-based system, improving our security posture."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Initial setup was very straightforward."

"It saves a lot of time for all of our IT staff from having to just use the RDP Windows client and reenter each server every time we access a different system."

"Organizing credentials, connections, and contents by clients makes it so simple for someone to provide support."

"Being able to aggregate all connections (RDP, FTP, SSH, VPN, etc.) in the same interface and make each server readily available in the same way, which lets me focus on the problem regardless of where it is."

"I was able to maintain connections to over 400 different servers and services using password best practices."

"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."

"By integrating all our connections previously spread across multiple locations, a lot of time has been saved."

"Setup and installation was simple."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager pros

"Quite literally, without TeamViewer's capabilities, we wouldn't be able to run our business."

"During the initial phase of using it continuously, I realized this has been by far the most efficient and seamless working software for my organization and it was the best fit."

"Working with TeamViewer has made customer support work more efficient."

"Go ahead, it’s the best of all the remote access software products."

"It is a great, amazing tool; all companies need to have it, and it's secure, fast, and reliable."

"It was worth the investment. You can do file transfers and video calls with it. You can do a lot of copy paste stuff. E.g., if I have a file and want to place it on somebody's machine, I can just copy it off of mine and paste it right on their machine. I don't have to put it in a Dropbox account and have them log into it to pull it off. I can do all that right through TeamViewer. When you're looking at the TeamViewer screen, you think you are working on your own machine."

"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."

"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."

More TeamViewer pros

Cons

"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."

"The synchronization could be improved."

"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer."

"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."

"This limitation in Microsoft Intune is a significant drawback; we cannot produce overall reports on an organizational level."

"I would like Intune to natively support easier report generation. This improvement would enable less experienced staff to run reports more efficiently without relying on additional tools or functions."

"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."

"Improvements are needed in Microsoft Intune's enterprise app management, including support for more applications in app patching, boot batching, and discovery. I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function. Our customers need that capability, or they will buy it from a third party at a premium."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."

"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."

"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."

"There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things."

"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."

"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."

"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates."

"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."

More Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager cons

"Sometimes we'll have a device in the field, and I'll click on remote control and it says "Can't authenticate." I'll double click in a different part of the TeamViewer interface and it'll say "Can't authenticate." Then I'll do it a third time and it connects. It's possible that it's just bad luck. It's also very possible that it's some bug within TeamViewer..."

"Sometimes when I am in a low network area, I face issues with connectivity while using TeamViewer, so definitely in that scenario, it should operate better over low networks."

"I would like it to have the ability to stay connected for longer times."

"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 it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."

"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."

"The product could be less expensive."

More TeamViewer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."

"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."

"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."

"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."

"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."

"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"Setup costs for most people is negligible."

"The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."

"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."

"We use the free version of TeamViewer."

"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."

"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."

"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."

"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."

"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."

"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."

"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)."
