We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 and Ivanti Connect Secure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"...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."
"Easy to use."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"The tool's most valuable features are application, distribution, and security. It helps to block user access."
"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any support from the manufacturer."
"It is a stable solution."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"The tool's most valuable feature is remote access."
"What I like the most about Pulse Connect Secure is that it's user-friendly. It's easy to use. You just need to connect, and that's it."
"I can safely say this is one of the best solutions I have seen for VPN access. It can achieve what other vendors may not be able to. This product will train you about exactly what an SSL should be. You can leverage it to do whatever you wish, the way you wish to do it. This is the solution if you want a perfectly scalable product for your enterprise that can help your mobile users and integrate with the latest technologies."
"From an end-user perspective, the setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable features of the solution are reliability and uptime."
"It's a very convenient and user-friendly application."
"The most valuable feature is being able to securely connect and use virtual desktops."
"The stability of the product is its most valuable feature."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace. This is one of the areas of improvement that I would like to highlight. We have also observed that in the contact list, a lot of duplication is happening. A single contact is duplicated three or four times, which also consumes more memory resources. If they can work on improving it for these aspects, it will have a more positive impact not only on the way the application is being consumed by the user but also on user satisfaction. A lot of new features are being deployed or rolled out by companies that are competitors of IBM MaaS360. IBM will have to ensure that all those features are on board so that we have a complete suite of features in the platform, rather than deploying multiple diverse solutions to cater to the requirements of our customers."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"Local technical support would be helpful."
"The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are the user-friendly connection and interconnecting."
"At the moment, Pulse Connect Secure is a pretty good solution, and I don't see any issues with it. Currently, I'm not aware of a new or additional feature that's needed in Pulse Connect Secure, but it would be good if the team could look at how the speed of connection could be increased. Though it's quite seamless and I didn't face any problem with the speed, it would be better to improve the speed and keep going forward, especially as the industry's changing and people would love connections to be a lot faster."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."
"We need to know how many live active users there are and we can't. We even updated the server, however, we still can't see the proper level of live connections. Right now, it's showing as 300 users and my customer does not have that many users in his organization."
"User experience and after-sales support could be better. For example, over the last couple of years, when this COVID scenario was going on, there were multiple attacks on these types of solutions. SQL has been attacked numerous times, and there were a lot of vulnerabilities, and our customers had to update and upgrade the devices every two weeks or every month. This was a headache. It could also be more scalable."
"I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"Ivanti Connect Secure needs to have faster connections. It also needs to improve the stability."
"This solution normally works but at times, we have had trouble with connectivity."
