Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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.

Good tech support
The location markings can appear incorrectly. If the customer shows his location on camera, on our machinery, but then moves it to another location and, subsequently, back to the original one, the location markings will appear incorrectly. We are talking about the augmented reality features. While I recommend the solution, the customer may face difficulties with screen sharing, such as occurs with our customers when it comes to working in an infrastructured area like a factory. We regularly get confused, as we also provide remote technical support. The initial setup is complex.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that we need occasionally but is really important is the ability to remotely wipe a device, control it, and perform similar functions."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"I appreciate how easy it is to deploy certificates to end users to get control over their device with Microsoft Intune; that's what Microsoft Intune is known for, and that's what we use them for."
"Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management."
"Microsoft Intune is a great product, and you should use it."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Cloud-based device management is the best feature for me as it impacts my company the most; it is much easier than the previous Configuration Manager or SCCM."
"It is a scalable product."
"It's very easy to set up."
"There have been a couple of times with the handy remote access feature, where I have been asked for something at eight o'clock on a Thursday evening and it is on my desk machine, but I am driving back to my office. With TeamViewer, I can just stay at my home machine, connect to my work machine, and get the data needed without having to drive back across town."
"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."
"TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization by giving us the ability to provide clients with a good experience and to fix bugs quickly while accessing their computers."
"The implementation process is simple."
"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."
"I like that it helped a lot, even with low bandwidth network connectivity. For example, while I was traveling, sometimes there were requirements for me to join a TeamViewer session and provide technical support. I was able to do that without much of an issue. It is also a secure solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to do a virtual reality kind of presentation where you're able to annotate scenes to illustrate what you mean when you're talking to a customer."
"It's easy enough to use."
"Technical support has good responsiveness."
"Technical support has good responsiveness, although they have recently made modifications to their licensing model."
 

Cons

"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer."
"Yes, there are a couple of issues with stability."
"Intune could be enhanced by automating application upgrades, similar to how it automates operating system upgrades."
"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."
"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows."
"The connection and reconnection sometimes lag and can cause problems."
"You can improve the file size of TeamViewer as it is too large."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"I would like to see TeamViewer support multiple platforms."
"If you had to teach someone how TeamViewer Business works, especially because I am speaking in a sense that I am using it on an engineer level, it would be a bit difficult to get accustomed to some of the settings, especially with the new experience."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive."
"If were to I put myself in the seat of a small business owner, I would prefer TeamViewer to be more of a pay-once-and-own-it solution, rather than paying via a subscription model (although I am using the free version). Only annual subscriptions are available. It makes paying for it the first time seem a little daunting."
"The location markings can appear incorrectly."
"It's quite power-hungry and some customers complain that it drains the batteries on their smartphones very quickly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
"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."
"I rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"We pay for the licensing monthly."
"It is not an expensive product."
