Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"Although we have not looked at the whole product and explored it completely, we find that all the authentication features that we are using now are valuable."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are remote control and setting up a phone."
"We introduced the product as part of the SOC-2 requirement. The tool's most valuable features include keeping the operating system updated, tracking software inventory, controlling computer administrators, and the ability to wipe a computer in case of a security threat. It helps us to be compliant, and it is one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any support from the manufacturer."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"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."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"I want the tool to improve its support. It should also incorporate some functionalities. Currently, preparing presentations in Google is a pain point. The tool’s certain features like user provisioning are not intuitive as well. The product’s LDAP support is very poor. Clients do not trust the product due to the spam."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"The price could be lower."
"Configuring policies is difficult in IBM MaaS360. It also needs to improve usability."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
