Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is capable of acting in many different ways to help secure architecture.""The MAM applications of the product are great.""A valuable feature of Citrix Endpoint Management is that it's stable. The stability is not a challenge among the move to the cloud.""We have seen improvements in compliance management on the devices.""ShareFile, in particular, is valuable with its ease of sharing, and the best category security that is in the hands of users.""One key feature is secure application delivery, which enables the secure delivery of mobile and web applications to end-user devices. This ensures data protection and compliance with corporate policies."

More Citrix Endpoint Management Pros →

"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult.""Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune.""We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution.""The solution is easy to use and it has good performance.""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.""I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID.""Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features.""The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

Cons
"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features.""The tool’s battery usage was high.""Citrix often depends on other services like backend data centers, network security, and application firewalls. Issues in these areas can be misinterpreted as Citrix issues by users.""Citrix needs to improve the architecture. They also need to strengthen the application integration. They keep referring to some things to be required as security, and they keep selling the next level and on-premise separately. They should give the customer the opportunity to decide whether they want to use the next level on-premise or on-cloud, but they should not charge additional fees if the customer wants to deploy the next level on-premise because the customer is already being charged as the end user. They should allow next level on-premise optimization without any additional charges.""Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."

More Citrix Endpoint Management Cons →

"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas.""The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite.""It's only good for a Microsoft environment.""I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI.""There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration.""It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner.""There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products.""It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."

    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."
