Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."Mobile device management is most valuable."
"...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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"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."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"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."
"We were able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."
"We can access emails within the active sync."
"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."
"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."
"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 technical support for the solution is excellent."
"The most important feature is Blackberry Work, for sure, because that is where you have email."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection."
"The solution is scalable."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely 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."
"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."
"The pain points for us would be the activation."
"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."
"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."
"The interface could be improved."
"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."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"The licensing is quite expensive."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required."
"The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
