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.

Journey orchestration has improved fraud prevention but still needs shared rules and better usability
The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application. There is no common place where you can write the rules and use that rule for all your applications, which is missing. This is a big feature that is missing compared to the other products in the market. Additionally, the SDKs, Journey Player, and other components are not business-friendly, so you really have to be technical to get into it and do those things. A non-technical person would find it really hard to implement and learn things inside Transmit Security. Even though it requires less coding, you still have to have some technical people in your team to really write the rules and integrate those rules into your application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"It is very stable and scalable because this is a cloud-only solution."
"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."
"I would say that it is at the top of the list when it comes to the competition."
"It's easy to manage."
"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"The solution is stable, reliable, has no bugs or glitches, does not crash or freeze, and the performance is good."
"I have found the solution to be user-friendly even for beginners. It is not that sophisticated. There are different types of security features available, such as encryption and random machine ID."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
"We have hundreds of remote key users, a lot of whom are non-native English speakers, and using TeamViewer allows my team and I to resolve any issue directly, without having to translate on the phone or by email."
"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."
"It is very easy to configure and very easy to use."
"Transmit Security has impacted my organization positively because it is reassuring to know that we are building on top of a trusted tool, and we do not rely on developers that could make mistakes, and because it is an authentication platform, that could be detrimental."
"Transmit Security has played a major role for our organization, especially in the authentication areas."
"Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless."
"Transmit Security has positively impacted my organization by improving the development of workflows in order to help the user experience."
"Overall, Transmit Security has positively impacted my organization by helping us strengthen authentication without adding unnecessary friction to users, particularly around passwordless authentication and adaptive verification."
 

Cons

"The platform is incredibly slow and could be more responsive. Specifically, when making changes to security policies, I would like to see those changes take effect more quickly."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"If we could remote into a device, it would be great. Currently, we cannot directly connect to the user device. We have to use other tools such as VMware for connecting to devices."
"There are some areas of improvement for Microsoft Intune, including faster policy sync so changes can apply quicker, a simpler interface, better reporting with more details and clear insight, improved troubleshooting, clearer error messages and logs, and stronger support for macOS and Linux, alongside better cross-platform features."
"I personally work in a Samsung Android environment and there's a lot more feature support in other EMMs."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"The performance could always be better."
"But still, I think the price factor for small business."
"The only thing I wish for is a better price for small users."
"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"I think the pricing could have been improved, as smaller organizations like us usually need a low-cost tool."
"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."
"I would like to see TeamViewer support multiple platforms."
"The solution could have better scalability."
"The scalability of Transmit Security is a little bit tricky. It is not easy to scale and depends on the complexity of my workflows and how many users I am going to support."
"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."
"The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application."
"The customer support varies, but overall, we are satisfied."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"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 are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"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."
