We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The stability is good.""Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful.""We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program.""It is a stable solution.""It works pretty well for us.""The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package.""There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients.""The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"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 solution is scalable.""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.""You can scale the solution up or down by department.""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 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.""The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."

More Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security Pros →

"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners.""The product has a great attestation feature.""It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON.""It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management.""This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool.""It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users.""It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution. The onboarding of applications is solid. Their user access reviews are very good. Their role-based model and their identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product.""Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."

More Saviynt Pros →

Cons
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view.""The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement.""There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas.""I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows.""The solution requires Mac support.""It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner.""The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune.""The pricing could be improved."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"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 MDM part of the engine could be better.""There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required.""Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive.""The licensing is quite expensive.""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.""The licensing can be messy at times."

More Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security Cons →

"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it.""Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs.""It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part.""The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases.""The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience.""The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry.""The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product.""The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
  • "There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
  • "Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
  • "The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
  • "I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
  • "The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
  • "For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
  • "The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
  • More Microsoft Intune Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I would rate pricing at eight out of ten. It is a bit higher because of the security features that Microsoft provides."
  • "We have to pay 10 dollars per user. I would rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
  • "The solution is cost-effective."
  • "The increase in the prices of the product might not be the actual problem, but things become complex with some new plans that were introduced by Microsoft recently."
  • More Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
  • "The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
  • "We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
  • "Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
  • "The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
  • "Saviynt has a competitive price."
  • "If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."
  • "Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

    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."

    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.
