We performed a comparison between BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite and IceWarp based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"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."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"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."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"It was a big improvement to activate applications with one authentication. That was a big plus for the user experience."
"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."
"Every version upgrade has been straightforward."
"We were able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"It keeps things secure, it can remotely wipe the container and it's fairly easy to use."
"The most important feature is Blackberry Work, for sure, because that is where you have email."
"It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle."
"It's scalable and stable."
"It has great communication capabilities for team chatting and web conferences."
"The product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it. Also, there is no requirement for any administrators to manage the product by the people who own the solution."
"The groupware module is the most valuable feature."
"The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions."
"IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people."
"The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful. It is convenient that everything is in one place. You can easily share and collaborate documents, making the program's unity a significant advantage."
"An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"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."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"I know for the BlackBerry Connect, our users want to see more features, such as audio and video. I know the current version doesn't have that."
"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."
"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."
"The pain points for us would be the activation."
"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."
"Second level support needs to have strong knowledge of the product."
"The installations on the device could be simpler. It is a good solution, and all the features are there. So, there isn't a lot to improve. I'm sure they already have their thought process on how to improve it."
"Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail."
"The exchange compatibility mode is rather limited. Their technical support can also be better. They only provide online support, and there should be some option for escalating."
"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."
"The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version."
"Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way."
"Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product."
"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."
"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."
