We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us.""The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem.""It is a very helpful solution.""The initial setup is not complex.""We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices.""We have found the solution is capable of scaling.""Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices.""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 cloud dashboard's analytics data is particularly valuable, giving me insights into user activities and making it easy to track and manage devices.""We experience no downtime, no breakdowns, all the user readings are exact, and it gives us quick analysis so we can apply security measures.""It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer.""It’s helped us manage our endpoints.""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.""Initial setup was easy.""Security is the main feature because the company is reliable.""The best features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager include its simplicity and ease of use. It is straightforward to set up and manage devices compared to other products."

"IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people.""The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions.""The solution's voice services work well for our company.""It's scalable and stable.""Its price is the most valuable.

Cons
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade.""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.""There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration.""Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view.""Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust.""Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention.""The installation could be improved to be simplified.""There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"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.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing.""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.""There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better.""Linux compatibility needs improvement.""Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution.""The solution can be expensive."

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

"It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes.""Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications.""The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version."

    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.
