"The solution is easy to use."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"It works pretty well for us."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"The product provides a universal dashboard."
"I have found the location analytics feature that is built into the APs to be the most valuable. It allows you to compare data and to single out individuals who are repeatedly coming into your store. We can observe different trends. This is what separates it from a lot of the other solutions."
"The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Meraki Systems Manager's most valuable features are password management, device tracking, remote resetting and wiping, device management, inventory management, and easy policy deployment."
"We can reconfigure a client’s setup remotely with minimal effort."
"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard."
"The solution is simple."
"The web portal provides status reporting and ease of configuration."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"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 solution is user-friendly."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"Meraki is limiting our connections."
"Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution."
"The solution can be expensive."
"The maintenance is average."
"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."
"There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better."
"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough."
"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"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."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different systems, mainly wireless SIEMS and other analytical systems that we want to introduce."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
