Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)."We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"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."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"The product works perfectly for patch management and software deployments."
"Everything is easily centralized and managed under this one product."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The reporting tool is very good."
"Since deploying Desktop Central our endpoints are all updated. We use configuration management to deploy shortcuts to our users' desktops with ease. Also, we use configuration management to map logical hard drives to our users. Our users are very happy with how much ease IT can solve their problems."
"The initial setup process is good."
"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 dashboard has been very useful."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"The solution isn't fully stable, and, when it goes down, it's hard to get it up and running."
"Documentation could improve so we don't need to create the support requests first."
"The OS deployment could be better."
"ManageEngine Endpoint Central’s scalability could be improved."
"I really feel like asset explorer should be a component of desktop central. That would make it the ultimate desktop management tool. This would also simplify the asset management role since an agent is already being deployed and assets could be added at the same time."
"Their support channel could be better. They're an India-based company. They're based out of India. So, here in the States, support can be difficult when you're dealing with time zone requirements. A more global support channel would be a wise choice for them."
"The Deployment scheduler needs updating to support various methods for deployment."
"Each of their products is an independent product, and they don't have anything to do with each other. It is a suite of packages. They all run independently, and they all are a little different because they were acquired differently. They could standardize their portfolio."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
