Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."It allows me to be able to access my email when I do not necessarily have my computer with me. I can also access my calendar when I am on public transport or outside of the office."
"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."
"Security is the most valuable feature, because we are a financial institution. We have a large number of clients and we have to make sure all communications are secure and PCI compliant."
"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."
"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"We were able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"Having access to our internet was extremely beneficial. We don't have that functionality now that we have switched to Microsoft Intune. It was definitely better with Blackberry."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"It's easy to manage."
"The interface could be improved."
"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 only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."
"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."
"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."
"I would like more support for Google Chromebook operating system, so I could manage it."
"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."
"The console needs improvement. It does not provide all the information that we are looking for as far as who has installed a certain product."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
