Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)."Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"It's really easy to access."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"It's easy to manage."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"It supports auto-scaling for mobile users. It auto-scales depending on the mobile user traffic. For example, if 1,000 people are working from home today, and tomorrow, the number increases to 2,000, it is not going to be an issue."
"The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"Prisma's most valuable feature would be its ability to identify bad or risky configurations."
"I like it because it's very easy to use. You install the client and you have to know your gateway, but that's something we give to our users. Beyond that, it takes about three seconds to train them on how to use it. And it just works well. That's great for us because it means less administrative time."
"It's very stable. Sometimes after installing the boxes, we leave them for one or two years. We would just touch the box in the case of the customer needing new requirements or changes to the setup."
"There is a system for monitoring the traffic. You can monitor the traffic of the connected people and point out any issues on the connection part."
"Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks is a seamless solution."
"The solution's most valuable features were the model's reduced complexity on the client side and its capability to provide security."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"Reporting in Microsoft solutions is pathetic. With Intune, I'm getting a free inventory tool, but I don't get a reporting tool. When I go to Intune, I can see one machine's entire data in terms of the hardware and the software running on it, but I cannot generate a report for all the machines in the organization. The reporting is the only feature holding back the functionality that is already there."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"The licensing model isn't flexible enough. It's an all-or-nothing model. Other providers in the market allow you to buy modules or add-ons separately. With Prisma Access, you have to purchase the same module for all users."
"The product's current price is an area of shortcoming where improvements are required."
"The frequency of updates could be reduced."
"There should be a dedicated portal or SASE-based solution. They're trying to add a plugin but it needs a dedicated portal because it is now an enterprise solution for multiple organizations. People should be able to directly log in to a dedicated page for Prisma Access, rather than going into a Panorama plugin, and always having to update the plugin."
"Prisma's integration between operational technology and IT should be more seamless. Right now, it requires additional setup and maintenance."
"There can be some latency issues with the solution that should be improved."
"If you compare Prisma SaaS against other products, such as Cloud Log, it's a little bit tricky to understand, but it offers different functionality that other products don't have. From a user usability point of view, you need some training for this product, as an admin, you need a couple of demos."
"We would like to see improvements in the licensing; currently, Palo Alto provides 500 to 1000 licenses for users, and we want to see 1500 to 2000 licenses for one version."
