We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) and Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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.
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"The web portal provides status reporting and ease of configuration."
"It's very easy to just keep adding devices as needed."
"The stability of the solution is very good. It's reliable. We don't have crashes or experience freezing. There aren't bugs or glitches."
"The solution is simple."
"The proprietary standards and modules are the most valuable features."
"The UI is easy to learn."
"The best features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager include its simplicity and ease of use. It is straightforward to set up and manage devices compared to other products."
"I have found the location analytics feature that is built into the APs to be the most valuable. It allows you to compare data and to single out individuals who are repeatedly coming into your store. We can observe different trends. This is what separates it from a lot of the other solutions."
"The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"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."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"Linux compatibility needs improvement."
"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. It is more difficult."
"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost."
"In my opinion, the equipment availabilities and competitive pricings could be improved."
"Cisco's authorized scripting can be complicated. For example, we sometimes enter the wrong code using this script, and then we had to dictate to find the problem."
"The maintenance is average."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
"The licensing is quite expensive."
"Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit."
