"We are able to satisfy many different organizational needs because of its flexibility."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a great solution with multi-vendor support. That's always useful."
"Authentication capabilities are one of the most valuable features."
"ClearPass prevents hackers from accessing the network. No one can get inside without authentication. It provides a lot of features we are missing. It's incredibly powerful and stable."
"Aruba is a highly scalable product. It just works. We have no issues with scalability."
"The support is top notch, expert, and very friendly. "
"Support is decent."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"Aruba ClearPass could improve when it comes to troubleshooting, it can be difficult. Some advanced problems are difficult."
"Some functions could be improved."
"The pricing policy could be more flexible."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"The solution needs to upgrade its user interface. Right now, it's not so user friendly, and it's an aspect that my clients' wish was improved upon."
"The initial setup was quite complex, it is not that easy."
"Like most security products, ClearPass is difficult to deploy. You need to use the CLI to implement security products from any vendor, so configuring the authentication is complicated."
"Configuration should be more easy to understand between the link of two topics."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"Technical support is not that great."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"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."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
