Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"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."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"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."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"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 interface is clunky and the layout is a bit outdated. Also, I don't think MaaS360 has as many features as Intune. It doesn't integrate with Office as seamlessly as Intune does, which isn't surprising, given that Intune and Office are Microsoft products."
"Sometimes IBM MaaS360 seems buggy...The solution's technical support team is sometimes slow to respond and not competent enough."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"Configuring policies is difficult in IBM MaaS360. It also needs to improve usability."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"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."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
