We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products.""The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution.""This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite.""We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution.""The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good.""While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me.""It is a stable solution.""The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard.""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.""It's robust, and we like the device availability, ease of purchase, and supplier stock availability.""The cloud dashboard's analytics data is particularly valuable, giving me insights into user activities and making it easy to track and manage devices.""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.""We use this solution for MDM.""The solution is simple.""The solution is easy to use and support."

Cons
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution.""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.""Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune.""In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune.""The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products.""Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust.""The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time.""Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"It would be beneficial to have better integration with other OS.""One area for improvement in Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is the ability for more advanced users to make detailed and non-standard changes.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing.""Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions.""The tool's pricing needs to be more flexible like Cisco's.""The maintenance is average.""Integration with other tools, such as, ConnectWise Automate.""The price could be better."

    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.

    ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus is an enterprise mobile device management solution that is designed to enhance employee productivity without compromising on corporate security.
