We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 and SAP Mobile Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"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."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"It allows us to have an updated inventory of all the devices in real-time with the ability to add personalized information."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that we can find a lost device or shut the device down and wipe it is good for HIPAA."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Both platforms, the SAP Mobile Platform, and SAP, are highly valuable for our company because they facilitate integration, which can be expensive. It's very convenient to connect and create billing accounts through the SAP Mobile Platform."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"One valuable feature of SAP Mobile Platform is its enterprise-grade standard and maintained APIs, available out of the box for easy integration with various systems."
"Reporting in Microsoft solutions is pathetic. With Intune, I'm getting a free inventory tool, but I don't get a reporting tool. When I go to Intune, I can see one machine's entire data in terms of the hardware and the software running on it, but I cannot generate a report for all the machines in the organization. The reporting is the only feature holding back the functionality that is already there."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"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."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace. This is one of the areas of improvement that I would like to highlight. We have also observed that in the contact list, a lot of duplication is happening. A single contact is duplicated three or four times, which also consumes more memory resources. If they can work on improving it for these aspects, it will have a more positive impact not only on the way the application is being consumed by the user but also on user satisfaction. A lot of new features are being deployed or rolled out by companies that are competitors of IBM MaaS360. IBM will have to ensure that all those features are on board so that we have a complete suite of features in the platform, rather than deploying multiple diverse solutions to cater to the requirements of our customers."
"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."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"We opted to go with Microsoft Intune because it just seemed to be a more mature and comprehensive enterprise solution, whereas IBM MaaS360 didn't seem to have the necessary breadth to manage all of our equipment. Along with laptops, I've had some BYODs. IBM MaaS360 just didn't seem as mature in our assessment."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"SAP has announced that they'll be ending the support on the SAP platform."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
