Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge.""With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines.""It is a very helpful solution.""This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite.""The solution is easy to use and it has good performance.""We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere.""It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks.""The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"The solution is user-friendly.""The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use.""Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point.""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.""The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering.""The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory.""It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten.""The initial setup is easy."

More Google Cloud Identity Pros →

"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."

More ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus Pros →

Cons
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products.""The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time.""It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc.""The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments.""Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally.""The security features should be improved.""The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune.""Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"I would like to see more integration in future releases.""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.""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.""The interface could be improved by simplifying it further.""The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS.""The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently.""Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."

    Overview

    Microsoft Intune is a comprehensive cloud-based service that allows you to remotely manage mobile devices and mobile applications without worrying about the security of your organization’s data. Device and app management can be used on company-owned devices as well as personal devices.

    In an increasingly mobile workforce, Microsoft Intune keeps your sensitive data safe while on the move. Microsoft Intune makes it possible for your team members to work anywhere using their mobile devices. Microsoft Intune provides both the flexibility and the control needed for securing all your data on the cloud, no matter where the device with the data is located.

    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."

    Cloud Identity is an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) and enterprise mobility management (EMM) product. It offers the identity services and endpoint administration that are available in G Suite as a stand-alone product. As an administrator, you can use Cloud Identity to manage your users, apps, and devices from a central location - the Google Admin console.

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