"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's easy to set up."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."

"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"The most valuable feature is the security policies."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."
"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"The solution's single plane of glass approach is beneficial. The endpoint management is very good and specific. One of their competitors is Intune, and you have leaks from other services within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"If I were to suggest enhancements, it would mainly revolve around ensuring compatibility and maximizing integration options with various services."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"Technical support is slow."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."

"The initial setup should be simplified."
"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"The technical support could be improved."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
