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.
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"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."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The solution is stable."
"The mobile functionality is very easy."
"The stability is very good."
"I like being able to image over the network. That's a nice feature that it has. Patch management is pretty decent on it as well."
"Well, what we like is that it catch actually a lot of features constantly upgrading. So all the three maybe there there were some features as the tenant on the earliest version. Now it's it's almost everything that we we need. So managing security ManageEngine configuration. It's we are very satisfied because it has the Telstra that's what we we need."
"What is great about the patch management solution, is that it patches OS, applications, browsers, plug-ins, and firmware updates."
"ManageEngine has improved my organization because right now we can actually monitor and find out which software products are installed on each desktop. We can then figure out which ones have to get patched and so forth."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine Endpoint Central is the central management console. Additionally, inventory tracking is helpful for knowing where our assets are."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"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."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"The integration should be made easier."
"Technical support is slow."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central is very limited. When you scan your system, it will only recognize Microsoft Windows Defender and BitLocker."
"The team I've currently got is not using it particularly well, due to the fact that they don't know how to use it particularly well. They've not done any training and so on."
"The solution isn't fully stable, and, when it goes down, it's hard to get it up and running."
"We are looking for a complete solution for patch management with central management and the cloud which ManageEngine Endpoint Central does not provide."
"The solution is expensive."
"Its licensing should be improved."
"The product's remote access manager needs improvement."
"There are occasional glitches."
