Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management.""The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult.""One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways.""Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy.""The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable.""The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune.""The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively.""One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard.""We can reconfigure a client’s setup remotely with minimal effort.""It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere.""The solution is straightforward to set up.""We experience no downtime, no breakdowns, all the user readings are exact, and it gives us quick analysis so we can apply security measures.""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.""The stability of the solution is very good. It's reliable. We don't have crashes or experience freezing. There aren't bugs or glitches."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) Pros →

"The user interface is user-friendly.""The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration.""It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use.""The company provides great customer service.""The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

Cons
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure.""Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial.""No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies.""Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved.""It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc.""It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar.""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 initial setup is a little bit complex."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"The price could be better.""Cisco's authorized scripting can be complicated. For example, we sometimes enter the wrong code using this script, and then we had to dictate to find the problem.""We've really only experimented with their iOS client. This is due to the fact that their Windows client has a lot to be desired. We first tried experimenting with the Windows one but very quickly determined that it wasn't going to cut it for most Windows cases. The Windows portion of this product needs improvement. I'd say that it's not really viable.""There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better.""System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved.""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.""I've participated in numerous product launches primarily focused on HP and Dell. Consequently, there should be a vested interest in local gatherings to showcase product advantages and performance. Particularly in Singapore, it only has so limited integrators to engage in IP product sales. There's room for improvement through dedicated workshops and training. The European and Western markets differ significantly from the context here. The physical location holds more importance. Thus, they should have a survey to evaluate demand, supply, and sales points, tailoring strategies accordingly.""I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. It is more difficult."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) Cons →

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated.""The interface is complicated and not very easy to use.""We would like the initial setup to be simpler.""The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that.""MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

Microsoft Intune makes it possible for your team members to work anywhere using their mobile devices. Microsoft Intune provides both the flexibility and the control needed for securing all your data on the cloud, no matter where the device with the data is located.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

    Every user is unique. Every device, a bit different. Systems Manager keeps the network in the loop about constantly changing devices, automatically tracking device posture and adjusting security policies to match.
