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."I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"There is a single pane of glass for user access and a single sign-on facility for the user. If you have already logged in to Microsoft Azure or on-premises, you can redirect directly to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, monitor all your security threats, and analyze the data associated with the application in a single, unified way."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"ShareFile, in particular, is valuable with its ease of sharing, and the best category security that is in the hands of users."
"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."
"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."
"We have seen improvements in compliance management on the devices."
"The MAM applications of the product are great."
"We introduced the product as part of the SOC-2 requirement. The tool's most valuable features include keeping the operating system updated, tracking software inventory, controlling computer administrators, and the ability to wipe a computer in case of a security threat. It helps us to be compliant, and it is one of the reasons we implemented it."
"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 can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"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."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"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."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"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."
"The tool’s battery usage was high."
"Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."
"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."
"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."
"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."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"Sometimes IBM MaaS360 seems buggy...The solution's technical support team is sometimes slow to respond and not competent enough."
