Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)."Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"They also have threat detection which maps threats. There is a feed that comes from Qualys when a new vulnerability is found. It tells us which machines are infected with that vulnerability."
"It is a stable solution."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"The reporting functionality is great."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"Sometimes we face a problem with accessing the tool and not getting an expected result. From a technology point of view, they need to look into this."
"It's not very user-friendly at times and requires in-depth understanding. So, a layman or someone new to Qualys won't be able to easily understand it. You need education to use the solution."
"What we have found is that the solution is not closely tied with the patch management. It is okay with newer ones, like Windows 10 machines; it gives the correct patch. But for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, it does not give us the correct patch so we have to manually identify the patches. This is a major problem."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"Finding things in management can be quite difficult."
"It would be nice to have an all-in-one solution that was automated and could handle the scanning and reports as well as the patching and updating."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"Qualys should improve their customer experience. They need to improve the tech support experience and the turnaround time."
