We performed a comparison between Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security and Microsoft Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."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."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it."
"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 offers excellent documentation that is easily available online."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"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."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"The feature that I find most valuable is the security layer of the identity and access management solution. The ability to secure on-premises and cloud-based workloads and to provide seamless authentication into hybrid workloads, which is also both on-premises and in cloud environments."
"The features that we find most valuable are security, mobility, and Single Sign-On."
"The most valuable and most interesting feature is the conditional access."
"MIM's most valuable feature is its connectivity with Exchange."
"The product’s simplicity and integration are valuable."
"Very powerful synchronization tool."
"The product allows us to track the logins easily."
"I appreciate how Microsoft keeps adding new features to Microsoft Identity Manager."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"The licensing is quite expensive."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
"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 can be messy at times."
"They have to improve the User Entity and Behavioral Analysis."
"Microsoft Identity Manager could be more intuitive in terms of interface."
"This product was only launched two or three years ago and it is still in the process of becoming stable."
"The product's pricing and integration features could be improved."
"The setup was difficult. The deployment process is not quick."
"The security could be slightly improved."
"It requires a lot of improvements. Microsoft is killing this product and migrating some of the features to Azure AD. The last version of this solution was 2016. If it is going to stay and integrate with Azure AD, its integration needs to be worked on in terms of connectors, etc. It doesn't seem that they are improving it alone. Microsoft wants to integrate it with Azure AD, but the integration is still not complete."
"All actions require logging in to the server."
