We performed a comparison between Citrix Endpoint Management and IBM MaaS360 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"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."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"A valuable feature of Citrix Endpoint Management is that it's stable. The stability is not a challenge among the move to the cloud."
"The product is capable of acting in many different ways to help secure architecture."
"One key feature is secure application delivery, which enables the secure delivery of mobile and web applications to end-user devices. This ensures data protection and compliance with corporate policies."
"We have seen improvements in compliance management on the devices."
"ShareFile, in particular, is valuable with its ease of sharing, and the best category security that is in the hands of users."
"The MAM applications of the product are great."
"One valuable feature is the ability to provide a secure environment. Another is the kiosk mode where MaaS360 can be used over a tablet or mobile device to ensure that a single application is used."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"The most valuable features are mobile device management and security (which allows you to quarantine infected devices)."
"MaaS can force people to lock their phones. Not everyone likes having a PIN and other security features on their phones, but this sets a requirement that you can't get your emails unless you have a PIN on your phone. That was a good feature, and we were able to easily increase the PIN from four digits to six digits. Overall, it was pretty user-friendly."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"We've found the scalability to be very good."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"Citrix often depends on other services like backend data centers, network security, and application firewalls. Issues in these areas can be misinterpreted as Citrix issues by users."
"The tool’s battery usage was high."
"Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."
"Citrix needs to improve the architecture. They also need to strengthen the application integration. They keep referring to some things to be required as security, and they keep selling the next level and on-premise separately. They should give the customer the opportunity to decide whether they want to use the next level on-premise or on-cloud, but they should not charge additional fees if the customer wants to deploy the next level on-premise because the customer is already being charged as the end user. They should allow next level on-premise optimization without any additional charges."
"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace. This is one of the areas of improvement that I would like to highlight. We have also observed that in the contact list, a lot of duplication is happening. A single contact is duplicated three or four times, which also consumes more memory resources. If they can work on improving it for these aspects, it will have a more positive impact not only on the way the application is being consumed by the user but also on user satisfaction. A lot of new features are being deployed or rolled out by companies that are competitors of IBM MaaS360. IBM will have to ensure that all those features are on board so that we have a complete suite of features in the platform, rather than deploying multiple diverse solutions to cater to the requirements of our customers."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
