Find out in this report how the two Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"The dashboard has been very useful."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central automatically alerts you if there are newer releases or updates. You do not have to go to their website and check."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Patch Management."
"The patch management aspect of the solution is the most valuable part for us."
"The reporting tool is very good."
"It's a complete product that allows you to remote troubleshoot, has an inventory of systems."
"The initial setup process is good."
"In terms of technical capability, it is doing very well. It is doing better than other industry products. It is at a place where we can compare it with Microsoft products. Its scalability is also good."
"People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
"No issues with scalability."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"The contained browser is a good feature."
"The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"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"
"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."
"The pricing could be improved."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"I would like to see them come out with a SaaS version of the product in the future."
"Desktop Central has very good information, however, you can't customize the dashboards."
"The reporting analytics could improve in ManageEngine Desktop Central. However, there are some third-party add-ins or modules you can purchase to do reporting analytics."
"The product's remote access manager needs improvement."
"The support could be faster."
"The solution isn't fully stable, and, when it goes down, it's hard to get it up and running."
"Its licensing should be improved."
"Not many things are needed for improvement, everything seems to be great as it is. One thing that would be good to have would be the ability to add MDM to a tablet running Android 5.0 using the EMM Token Enrollment. If we wanted to add MDM to an older tablet, we just have to go the "long route" to get it added."
"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."
