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.

Allows users to access and operate their computers remotely
When you want to transfer a file from your iPad or remote device to the computer, the copy-and-paste feature doesn't always work. I'd have to turn on the Bluetooth a lot of times and transfer it that way on both devices, which was troublesome. However, it would sometimes randomly work. I could go on my iPad, find whatever I wanted to do, click copy, then go over to the computer through Parallels Access, click paste, and it would randomly work. I had to call Parallels many times. They would log in and try something, which would temporarily work, but then it wouldn't. When it worked, it made integration between the two things great. That was a very helpful feature that didn't get polished.

Remote support has improved productivity and saves onsite visits through fast issue resolution
TeamViewer Business provides a fast and secure connection along with a reliable chat feature for a smooth support section. I also appreciate the monitoring and asset management capability, which enhances the remote access experience for my team and me. TeamViewer Business provides seamless communication capability, which includes a variety of options such as chat, call, and video that enhance interaction with our remote clients. TeamViewer Business has been really helpful in my organization, where we are able to troubleshoot any issue our clients have and resolve it as quickly as possible. It enables me to fix the problem faster. If a customer's screen is not working or a glitch happens, I can simply share their screen into my screen through TeamViewer Business and rectify the issue rather than asking them to describe the problem via email. This saves a lot of time and is helpful for our customers who are buying our products. The best features TeamViewer Business offers include seamless communication, efficient remote access, and fast and secure connection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"Since implementing this solution, our company has grown substantially, and our talent pool has significantly expanded."
"I like how Intune brings everything into one place. For example, you can set up conditional access to applications and devices inside Intune. I also like the segregation inside the Intune devices. You can segregate them by Windows, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android. You can sort it by platform, so you don't need to go into the devices section."
"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."
"It's got a very easy-to-use interface."
"It's great that the total deployment can happen completely remotely."
"We don't have problems with stability. Everything is good."
"Parallels Access gives me full access and control of the computer, and I can do anything I want remotely."
"Parallels Access has flexible licensing policies, which is beneficial for customers who have intermittent usage or users who are on and off the system."
"The most important feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. The file transfer from remote machines to my machine or from my machine to the remote machine works well."
"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."
"Getting started with TeamViewer was easy, with a very straightforward usage"
"TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization by helping us resolve critical issues within the four-hour SLA contracts we have with clients, avoiding penalties associated with delays."
"TeamViewer is a scalable solution."
"TeamViewer Business has positively impacted our organization by reducing the time of the TAT for resolving issues for end users, which has really helped us."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote into another device."
 

Cons

"We are currently unable to control aspects of group policy from Teams like we can for GPO. They are still not part of Intune. Microsoft is adding this, but it's currently in preview, and few GPO features have been added to the product."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."
"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"Applying security recommendations can be difficult in Microsoft Intune. Sometimes, they give you recommendations, but you need a different server to manage the pieces, or you have to go to each device individually. However, it has been improving. Before, there were certain policies you could not implement directly in Intune, but now I see progress. I would like to see more improvement in policy management, similar to how we used group policies on-premises."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"One challenge we do notice is that the application is limited to Windows servers only. If a customer has a Linux server, things get complicated. They should open it up a bit to be more compatible with different types of servers."
"When you want to transfer a file from your iPad or remote device to the computer, the copy-and-paste feature doesn't always work."
"The solution may not scale well for enterprises."
"They could improve the reporting."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing policy. The price point is pretty aggressive."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."
"One thing that would really help with TeamViewer Business is if they were able to provide an easier way to deploy TeamViewer Business on all devices using group policy, as the current solution is quite clunky and very technical to set up; I have struggled and spent many days trying to get TeamViewer Business pushed out via group policy, and it has never worked as we would prefer, so we end up doing it manually, which is a drain on resources."
"I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"I think the pricing could have been improved, as smaller organizations like us usually need a low-cost tool."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"It would be very helpful if they could provide a manual for the installation process and describe more of their features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"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."
"The licensing costs are about $100 per user."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"The cost of the licenses depends on how you buy them. They just had a buy one get one free deal going, and they do that every once in a while. Where you buy one license, and they will give you the second one free, or you can try to get discounts. Most of our licenses that we have we tried to do something like that just to save some money."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"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."
"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."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
