"The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any support from the manufacturer."
"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."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"We've found the scalability to be very good."

"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."

"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"We opted to go with Microsoft Intune because it just seemed to be a more mature and comprehensive enterprise solution, whereas IBM MaaS360 didn't seem to have the necessary breadth to manage all of our equipment. Along with laptops, I've had some BYODs. IBM MaaS360 just didn't seem as mature in our assessment."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"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."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
