"We use this solution for MDM."
"We can reconfigure a client’s setup remotely with minimal effort."
"Security is the main feature because the company is reliable."
"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 solution is simple."
"The web portal provides status reporting and ease of configuration."
"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"The stability is good."
"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."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved."
"Cisco's authorized scripting can be complicated. For example, we sometimes enter the wrong code using this script, and then we had to dictate to find the problem."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"In my opinion, the equipment availabilities and competitive pricings could be improved."
"We've really only experimented with their iOS client. This is due to the fact that their Windows client has a lot to be desired. We first tried experimenting with the Windows one but very quickly determined that it wasn't going to cut it for most Windows cases. The Windows portion of this product needs improvement. I'd say that it's not really viable."
"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."
"Meraki is limiting our connections."
"The price could be better."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
