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.

Able to boot into safe mode or standard mode remotely and reliable performance

I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance

It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication. It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good. It's got a lot of resources for users. The product is easy to install.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."

"It is a stable solution."

"Maturity makes it a stable product."

"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."

"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."

"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."

"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."

"Splashtop Remote Support is my main product, and I use it daily. Its main function is to control systems, which is essential remotely. Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable."

"The file transfers work well, the remote support and hosted solution work well."

"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."

"The initial setup is simple."

"The solution is very fast."

"This solution is straightforward to use."

"It's very beneficial and time effective on how we are able to provide quick support. We've quadrupled our effectiveness as an IT support because we have cut down all that unnecessary travel time, even between floors."

"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."

"It's a user-friendly product."

"The most valuable feature is you do not need to know the Windows username and password to connect and see the staff screen."

"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."

"It's pretty easy to use. Just key in an ID and password and connect. For meetings, just enter the meeting ID and connect."

"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."

More TeamViewer pros

Cons

"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."

"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."

"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."

"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."

"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins. We continue to experience issues with machines losing their hybrid domain join status."

"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."

"The reporting part needs improvement, and it would be beneficial if it could integrate with third-party tools instead of just Power BI."

"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."

"The integration features could be better."

"The solution should be able to make an inventory of computers automatically."

"The phone's a little tricky to work with due to the small screen."

"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."

"TeamViewer could improve by adding support for other operating systems, such as Linux and CAKE."

"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."

"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."

"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."

"The performance could always be better."

"The solution could have better scalability."

"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."

"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."

More TeamViewer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."

"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."

"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."

"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."

"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."

"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."

"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros 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 have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."

"TeamViewer pricing is reasonable... The simultaneous controller licensing model of TeamViewer - compared to LogMeIn’s controlled Host licensing model - seems to benefit us so far. We’re currently saving about 30 percent on licensing cost... The savings from licensing have been eaten up by the soft costs involved in dealing with and working around TeamViewer’s deficiencies in allowing granular control by multiple controllers, and the issues with the various settings that are missing on the macOS Host."

"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."

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

"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."

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

"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
