We performed a comparison between BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite and Google Cloud Identity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"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."
"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 detail 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."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"...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."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable. Having access to your emails in a secure way is one of the most important features of this solution. Blackberry ensures data security, and as a user, I can use it while on roaming or wherever I am."
"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."
"We can access emails within the active sync."
"We were able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."
"The technical support for the solution is excellent."
"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."
"It gives us the ability to have a container and the most secure possible application."
"Although we have not looked at the whole product and explored it completely, we find that all the authentication features that we are using now are valuable."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"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."
"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."
"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."
"The interface could be improved."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way for team members to get onboarded in regards to what they have to do on the device. There are some programs like Apple DEP and Samsung Knox. Unfortunately, with these programs, to get existing users onto them, you have to factory wipe your device. If it did not have the DEP capabilities, it would be nicer if it did not have so many steps to go through. That is our biggest complaint from team members. It has too many steps."
"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."
"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."
"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."
"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"Technical support is slow."
"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."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
