Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"The tool's most valuable features are application, distribution, and security. It helps to block user access."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"We introduced the product as part of the SOC-2 requirement. The tool's most valuable features include keeping the operating system updated, tracking software inventory, controlling computer administrators, and the ability to wipe a computer in case of a security threat. It helps us to be compliant, and it is one of the reasons we implemented it."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"In terms of technical capability, it is doing very well. It is doing better than other industry products. It is at a place where we can compare it with Microsoft products. Its scalability is also good."
"The product works perfectly for patch management and software deployments."
"I like being able to image over the network. That's a nice feature that it has. Patch management is pretty decent on it as well."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The ability to patch my servers and endpoints is the most important for me. However, this feature is more pronounced in ManageEngine Desktop Central."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The most important feature we found to be useful in the COVID situation is the secure connection, which gives the IT support staff the ability to seamlessly connect with the users remotely and in a secure way."
"The solution is stable."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"Sometimes IBM MaaS360 seems buggy...The solution's technical support team is sometimes slow to respond and not competent enough."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"Compared to the solution we use to manage our Mac products, this solution lacks the ability to create dynamic groups. We would like the ability, for example, for machines which have been upgraded to form part of a grouping based on this upgrade."
"ManageEngine could be improved by giving customers an option to perform certain actions proactively. Since I was a consultant, I worked on different products and some had advantages over ManageEngine. For example, proactive remediation—you want to proactively check something on the computers and run the script. In ManageEngine, you have the option to run the script, but Intune has the option to do so proactively. ManageEngine doesn't have this. You should have the option to act proactively, not just going ahead and fixing it once it's done. Proactive remediation should be a feature."
"There are no dynamic changes on web pages and it's lacking visually."
"The performance sometimes lags a bit because the solution is demanding on system resources."
"The MDM feature isn't very good. It doesn't support Amazon vendors."
"Not many things are needed for improvement, everything seems to be great as it is. One thing that would be good to have would be the ability to add MDM to a tablet running Android 5.0 using the EMM Token Enrollment. If we wanted to add MDM to an older tablet, we just have to go the "long route" to get it added."
"The solution is expensive."
"The reports provided by the product are an area of concern where improvements are required. The visibility provided by the reports is not very attractive."
