It helps us to be compliant, and it is one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that we can find a lost device or shut the device down and wipe it is good for HIPAA."

"One valuable feature of SAP Mobile Platform is its enterprise-grade standard and maintained APIs, available out of the box for easy integration with various systems."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Both platforms, the SAP Mobile Platform, and SAP, are highly valuable for our company because they facilitate integration, which can be expensive. It's very convenient to connect and create billing accounts through the SAP Mobile Platform."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"Technical support is not that great."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"The price could be lower."

"IBM MaaS360 can improve the location reporter. There is a 15-minute delay and this does not allow for any usefulness."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace. This is one of the areas of improvement that I would like to highlight. We have also observed that in the contact list, a lot of duplication is happening. A single contact is duplicated three or four times, which also consumes more memory resources. If they can work on improving it for these aspects, it will have a more positive impact not only on the way the application is being consumed by the user but also on user satisfaction. A lot of new features are being deployed or rolled out by companies that are competitors of IBM MaaS360. IBM will have to ensure that all those features are on board so that we have a complete suite of features in the platform, rather than deploying multiple diverse solutions to cater to the requirements of our customers."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"Local technical support would be helpful."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"SAP has announced that they'll be ending the support on the SAP platform."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
