Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies.""We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera""We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product.""A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves.""It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies.""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 detail 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.""The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity.""It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."

"Everything is available to you from your handset."

"Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is very easy to deploy, and it is really easy to set up the policies.""The user interface is good. Managing and monitoring tools are also good.""One of the features I found very nice in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is that it's good at scanning and fixing issues on its own. The solution is very good at finding a lot of applications and notifying you about systems that have issues. Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile can run headless without having to report back which I found very nice about it. I also like that the solution would create alerts when a certain amount of time lapsed for systems, and it would recommend going through and scanning the systems. As an actual endpoint protection product, Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is good.""Your endpoint protection depends on the signature piece, so it's mainly for virus and malware protection, as well as also to control devices and applications.""Integration is good. You can integrate them with an off-brand endpoint solution. It has quite a few integration features you can use.""The most valuable feature is to be able to power up a device and wipe the data remotely.""The biggest advantage it has is the VPN product that is incorporated into the solution."

Cons
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time.""It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc.""The solution could improve its flexibility.""It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs.""In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune.""In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products.""When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application.""We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."

"We would like it if SAP could integrate the transactional mode as well so that users can perform transactional jobs by mobile-only."

More SAP Mobile Secure Cons →

"Application and device control needs to be improved. We also need to enhance login features for management to have good visibility of the events.""I'm not sure if there's anything lacking; I personally don't use the solution too much, so I'd have to look at it a bit and do some more research. I'm more on the operation side of things.""For a lot of the issues my team experienced from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile, Symantec said that getting the issues resolved would mean going through the partner that sold the product and creating an incident report to get the team to work on the actual company environment. A lot of the problems my team has been having from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile were associated with Outlook for endpoint users who were being locked out of the Outlook application. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is its central web hub, where you're supposed to be able to update all of the endpoints because it wasn't reaching the endpoints. For example, even if the central web hub was able to see the endpoints and do the required scans, whenever you'd go to do a policy change, the policy change wouldn't propagate down to the endpoints. The central web hub allows you to monitor all of your endpoints and allows you to choose actions you'd want to do to each of the endpoints such as pushing down on updates or scanning the system. The problem my team usually gets is that majority of the time, whenever my team would do policy updates, the updates won't propagate down to the users, so it was very inconsistent. Needing to manually go through and scan systems is also an area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile. Currently, there's no way to automate its scanning process. A lot of the other issues started appearing in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile during situations when people wanted to customize different applications. Symantec doesn't like people doing a lot of customizations. For example, the main problem in my company is users losing access to Outlook, but then my team discovered that there was a specific policy set that you could disable, and it would fix a lot of the Outlook issues. However, when you'd go to change that policy set and attach that to a user to overwrite policies on the user side, it just wouldn't do anything for that user. It wouldn't even show that the policy was updated, so this is what needs to be improved in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile.""The price is too expensive for the Egyptian market here. Compared to other products or the other competition here in the local market, they need to be more competitive cost-wise.""When there is an attack attempt on mobile, there doesn't seem to be much of a notification.""It would be nice to have more flexibility regarding deployment.""Having better, real-time support would be an improvement over having to send an email."

    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."
