Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"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."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"It's easy to set up."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The ability to run event viewer, task manager, services, command, file browser, certificate all remotely without interrupting users is the most valuable aspect. Software deployment and prohibiting, allowing us to standardize on the software that has been deployed through the environment and then prohibiting illegal software such as torrent applications has been valuable."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"Very good, functional solution for endpoint management."
"We can scale the product."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central is stable."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The mobile functionality is very easy."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The solution's storage capacity could be increased."
"I want the tool to improve its support. It should also incorporate some functionalities. Currently, preparing presentations in Google is a pain point. The tool’s certain features like user provisioning are not intuitive as well. The product’s LDAP support is very poor. Clients do not trust the product due to the spam."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The OS deployment could be better."
"Some difficulties with setup for multiple locations."
"The product must provide more API integrations with different ERP tools."
"The team I've currently got is not using it particularly well, due to the fact that they don't know how to use it particularly well. They've not done any training and so on."
"ManageEngine could be improved by giving customers an option to perform certain actions proactively. Since I was a consultant, I worked on different products and some had advantages over ManageEngine. For example, proactive remediation—you want to proactively check something on the computers and run the script. In ManageEngine, you have the option to run the script, but Intune has the option to do so proactively. ManageEngine doesn't have this. You should have the option to act proactively, not just going ahead and fixing it once it's done. Proactive remediation should be a feature."
"We would like to see options for deploying Microsoft 365 accounts into Outlook. For now we only can use it to deploy exchange accounts. Also we would like to see an option do decline Windows 7 ESU patches in a bulk."
"Improvement of the chats on the web communication through the WAN would be helpful."
"I really feel like asset explorer should be a component of desktop central. That would make it the ultimate desktop management tool. This would also simplify the asset management role since an agent is already being deployed and assets could be added at the same time."
