Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support.""The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution.""The stability is good.""Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products.""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.""The stability of Microsoft Intune is good.""Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments.""The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer.""It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere.""Security is the main feature because the company is reliable.""We use this solution for MDM.""The solution is simple.""It has facilitated zero-touch authorization events for our employees and their devices. Furthermore, Meraki Systems Manager plays a vital role in securing our notebooks.""The proprietary standards and modules are the most valuable features.""The most significant benefit is that the deployment is quick and painless. You don't need a specialized IT department to implement and scale the network. It's easy to maintain, too. It only requires one or two network administrators."

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

"The solution helps with auditing, and monitoring, and integrates with Splunk for log analysis. User activity logs are captured in CyberArk Identity and sent to external tools like Splunk for analysis and monitoring.""The user self-service program and the Office 365 provisioning service feature are the most valuable. It is a very easy and feature-rich solution that gives priority to the users and security.""The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward.""I found the solution to be stable.""The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients.""If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity.""It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening.""The most valuable feature of CyberArk Identity is the adaptive interface."

More CyberArk Identity Pros →

Cons
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments.""While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users.""In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products.""It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console.""The initial setup is a little bit complex.""They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft.""There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems.""More integration with monitoring tools is needed."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"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.""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 can be expensive.""The price of the solution could be reduced.""Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution.""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.""They need to allocate more energy in terms of their offering to devices that are not Apple devices.""The price could be better."

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

"In terms of general user feedback, the more security you put in front of a user, the more they complain. So usability and the user experience are always a challenge. So there's always room for improvement.""They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature.""We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices.""The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps.""They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly.""The user interface could be improved.""The product needs to leverage the cloud more, especially in the financial sector, where cloud adoption might be limited. Proper reporting within the cloud is essential. The tool should be more user-friendly to expedite access for users. The current agent-based system poses challenges if a user loses access to the server, making tasks difficult to perform. It should also improve technical support.""There is room for improvement in documentation. The documentation could be more specific about the changes needed to achieve specific goals."

    Overview

    Microsoft Intune is a comprehensive cloud-based service that allows you to remotely manage mobile devices and mobile applications without worrying about the security of your organization’s data. Device and app management can be used on company-owned devices as well as personal 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.

    Microsoft Intune Device Management Key Features

    With Microsoft Intune Device Management you can:

    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.
