Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"It has allowed us to manage many different mobile device platforms, like Windows 10, Android, Apple, and BlackBerry 10, all through a single pane of glass."
"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable. Having access to your emails in a secure way is one of the most important features of this solution. Blackberry ensures data security, and as a user, I can use it while on roaming or wherever I am."
"Security is the most valuable feature, because we are a financial institution. We have a large number of clients and we have to make sure all communications are secure and PCI compliant."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"Having access to our internet was extremely beneficial. We don't have that functionality now that we have switched to Microsoft Intune. It was definitely better with Blackberry."
"Every version upgrade has been straightforward."
"It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle."
"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"The tool's most valuable features are application, distribution, and security. It helps to block user access."
"It allows us to have an updated inventory of all the devices in real-time with the ability to add personalized information."
"The most valuable features are mobile device management and security (which allows you to quarantine infected devices)."
"We've found the scalability to be very good."
"The ability to send an iPad out to someone and have them auto-provision it when they are out in the field is fantastic. We don't have to have it all configured before we ship it. This is probably the biggest value add."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"It is a stable solution."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"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."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"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."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"The interface could be improved."
"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."
"What we don't have at the moment is RDP from the device to some kind of PC. Another feature would be access to a delegate's mailbox and I think that is to come in one of the next releases. There have been a lot of requests for that type of feature where, for example, a secretary can access the mailbox of the boss."
"I would like to see better integration with our AD. Instead of having to use Active Directory groups, we'd like to use Active Directory attributes instead. There is a lot of overhead in managing. Whereas, if we could key on something tied to HR, or some other feed indicating who they are or what role they have, and manage them that way, that would be much preferable than having to manage people with Active Directory groups. Because, if people move roles, then we have to make sure that we move them from one Active Directory group to another, which is hands-on, a lot of overhead."
"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."
"One fault that BlackBerry has is its salesforce. Their direct salesforce department is changing its salespeople constantly. One client I had, over a period of about three years, went through four salespeople. That continuity is a problem, in terms of dealing with the customers."
"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."
"The initial installation could be simplified."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"The interface is clunky and the layout is a bit outdated. Also, I don't think MaaS360 has as many features as Intune. It doesn't integrate with Office as seamlessly as Intune does, which isn't surprising, given that Intune and Office are Microsoft products."
"The UI has room for improvement."
