Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails.""The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management.""The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management.""We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android.""Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature.""It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints.""The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable.""The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"The stability of the solution is very good. It's reliable. We don't have crashes or experience freezing. There aren't bugs or glitches.""We can reconfigure a client’s setup remotely with minimal effort.""The most valuable features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) are its ability to do geofencing for devices, manage thousands of devices with only a push of a button, and quick application deployment in seconds. It's amazing. For example, in an education scenario, you can deploy an application update for thousands of iPads in two clicks.""It’s helped us manage our endpoints.""The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard.""The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature.""The cloud dashboard's analytics data is particularly valuable, giving me insights into user activities and making it easy to track and manage devices.""It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) Pros →

"An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources.""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 groupware module is the most valuable feature.""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.

Cons
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that.""Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement.""The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements.""The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market.""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.""I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI.""Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved.""One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"One area for improvement in Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is the ability for more advanced users to make detailed and non-standard changes.""System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved.""There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better.""In my opinion, the equipment availabilities and competitive pricings could be improved.""Meraki is limiting our connections.""The price could be better.""The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost.""Integration with other tools, such as, ConnectWise Automate."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) Cons →

"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications.""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.""Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""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.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product."

Microsoft Intune makes it possible for your team members to work anywhere using their mobile devices. Microsoft Intune provides both the flexibility and the control needed for securing all your data on the cloud, no matter where the device with the data is located.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "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 details 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."

    Every user is unique. Every device, a bit different. Systems Manager keeps the network in the loop about constantly changing devices, automatically tracking device posture and adjusting security policies to match.
