"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"DOWNLOADING-PATCHES; It has also helped to reduce network traffic when it comes to downloading patches. By only having to download the patch once to the central location and then utilizing the relay structure to then download the patch to a specific site and then everything gathering at local, it greatly reduces the bandwidth of multiple endpoints."
"Software distribution and patch management are the most valuable."
"I like the inventory and life cycle management feature."
"Desktop patching is the most valuable feature, because with servers, we have complete control over them, and we can simply push patches to the servers."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to manage TWS, the relevance is really what sets it apart. Also, using it as a software deployment tool is the key for us."

"The most valuable feature of BigFix is the software deployment."
"The most valuable features of the solution are Windows patching and the hardware and software inventory."
"The company provides great customer service."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"I'm looking for them to make big web UI improvements."
"It could use better integration with Hypervisor products like VMware."
"In order to derive maximum benefit from BigFix, it is essential that we configure all of its features and implement them effectively. If the automation could be improved we would be able to mitigate the risks associated with zero-day threats."
"I would like to see improvements in the Web UI program and also a BigFix console for Mac OS."
"I would eventually like to see a SaaS offering, a cloud-hosted BigFix instance where we only have to put a relay in our environment."
"The stability is generally pretty good. The one thing that we came across is the battle between load on endpoints and load on our servers and relays versus how quickly, effectively and reliably actions can be taken. I'd like to not have to take an action on a system while I'm working with someone and then have to say whether something will happen between five seconds or thirty minutes from that point."
"The self-service application seems to need some work to replace the client UI. There are a lot of pop-ups if you use a baseline as the object that you're setting to a workstation. Unless you're using web UI, the message is not customizable in the user notification."
"BigFix is actually a little bit on the expensive side in Turkey because of the dollar's exchange rate in our currency."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
