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 central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"The product provides a universal dashboard."
"It's very easy to just keep adding devices as needed."
"It has facilitated zero-touch authorization events for our employees and their devices. Furthermore, Meraki Systems Manager plays a vital role in securing our notebooks."
"We can reconfigure a client’s setup remotely with minimal effort."
"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."
"The proprietary standards and modules are the most valuable features."
"It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer."
"It’s helped us manage our endpoints."
"We've found the solution to be easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"The most valuable feature is the security policies."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"I've participated in numerous product launches primarily focused on HP and Dell. Consequently, there should be a vested interest in local gatherings to showcase product advantages and performance. Particularly in Singapore, it only has so limited integrators to engage in IP product sales. There's room for improvement through dedicated workshops and training. The European and Western markets differ significantly from the context here. The physical location holds more importance. Thus, they should have a survey to evaluate demand, supply, and sales points, tailoring strategies accordingly."
"Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution."
"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."
"System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved."
"In my opinion, the equipment availabilities and competitive pricings could be improved."
"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us."
"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."
"Linux compatibility needs improvement."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
