Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"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."
"It allows me to be able to access my email when I do not necessarily have my computer with me. I can also access my calendar when I am on public transport or outside of the office."
"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."
"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."
"The containerization of the BlackBerry Dynamics is the most important thing for us. It allows us to keep personal and corporate data separate on a personal device. It allows us to wipe the corporate data while leaving all the personal data in place."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"It gives us the ability to have a container and the most secure possible application."
"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."
"We were able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"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 most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"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."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that. The fact that it breaks on some end-users' devices is also a concern and just the frequency and complexity of upgrades is not ideal."
"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."
"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."
"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."
"The newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."
"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."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"Local technical support would be helpful."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the location reporter. There is a 15-minute delay and this does not allow for any usefulness."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
