Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"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."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"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."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"There is very high flexibility for different setups of single users, so it can give a single use many different device types with different enrollment types."
"The most important feature is Blackberry Work, for sure, because that is where you have email."
"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."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"We are able to separate personal information and in the event of e breach, we are able to turn off access and/or delete this information."
"It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle."
"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"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 is a stable solution."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"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."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"The entry level support needs improvement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that we do not have premium support. Therefore, we have to go through Level 1 support for any issues."
"The newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."
"As far as being able to remotely wipe a device, or remove it from the console, this is not simple to do. It is not a one-click motion, as it requires several steps."
"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."
"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."
"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."
"The interface could be improved."
"They could improve their QA. There are many times where something will be released, a new client will be released, and something gets broken. Or they do a release and they don't take into consideration how some people may be using parts of it. Even though it's supported, they release something and it breaks it because they weren't aware of it. The biggest thing for me right now is, I would like to see improvement in their QA. I'm tired of getting broken software."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"The price could be lower."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"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 product needs to improve tech support."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"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."
