Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices.""The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively.""While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me.""Mobile device management is most valuable.""The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful.""The initial setup is not complex.""It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."

"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard.""The most valuable features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) are its ability to do geofencing for devices, manage thousands of devices with only a push of a button, and quick application deployment in seconds. It's amazing. For example, in an education scenario, you can deploy an application update for thousands of iPads in two clicks.""Meraki Systems Manager's most valuable features are password management, device tracking, remote resetting and wiping, device management, inventory management, and easy policy deployment.""It has facilitated zero-touch authorization events for our employees and their devices. Furthermore, Meraki Systems Manager plays a vital role in securing our notebooks.""The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature.""We can reconfigure a client’s setup remotely with minimal effort.""I have found the location analytics feature that is built into the APs to be the most valuable. It allows you to compare data and to single out individuals who are repeatedly coming into your store. We can observe different trends. This is what separates it from a lot of the other solutions.""The most significant benefit is that the deployment is quick and painless. You don't need a specialized IT department to implement and scale the network. It's easy to maintain, too. It only requires one or two network administrators."

"The user interface is user-friendly.""It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use.""The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration.""The company provides great customer service.""The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

Cons
"The installation could be improved to be simplified.""The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added""Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies.""What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade.""Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions.""Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention.""Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time.""It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough.""One area for improvement in Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is the ability for more advanced users to make detailed and non-standard changes.""System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved.""I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. It is more difficult.""Meraki is limiting our connections.""There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better.""In my opinion, the equipment availabilities and competitive pricings could be improved.""The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) Cons →

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices.""The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that.""The interface is complicated and not very easy to use.""We would like the initial setup to be simpler.""UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

    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."

    Every user is unique. Every device, a bit different. Systems Manager keeps the network in the loop about constantly changing devices, automatically tracking device posture and adjusting security policies to match.
