Pros
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities.""...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.""Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution.""It is a very helpful solution.""It's easy to manage and easy to configure.""Autopilot is the most valuable feature.""At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature.""Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."

More Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management Pros →

"The solution offers excellent documentation that is easily available online.""You can scale the solution up or down by department.""The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes.""The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection.""The solution is scalable.""Integration between our departments has been the most valuable.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy."

Cons
"The technical support could be improved.""It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch.""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.""Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions.""The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years.""It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner.""Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges.""There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42.""Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."

More Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management Cons →

"There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required.""The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present.""The licensing is quite expensive.""The licensing can be messy at times.""Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive.""The MDM part of the engine could be better.""We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate.""Its performance needs enhancement."

    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."

    Silverback offers easy, scalable and secure device management for tablets and smartphones, including Android for Work, Windows 10 Mobile, iOS, and Mac OS.

    Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) is the only comprehensive solution designed to help manage and protect users, devices, apps, and data in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.
