IT Mobility Support Analyst at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Helpful technical support, and performs well, but initial setup could be simplified

They are constantly improving the scalability of BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite. More collaborative features are being developed. I know they have integrations with a lot of other vendors and applications, and it's constantly growing. Our company has approximately 3,000 users. I would say we have ten people for actual administrative roles with Blackberry.

Monitoring and Operations Pilot at Egis S.A.

Has simplified hardware issue identification but needs integrated communication options

We have monitoring capabilities and we are monitoring some network tools from Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) and troubleshooting as well. I am currently working with version MR 32.1.4. Policy involves connecting mostly through emails, as we don't have any special kind of policy features. If any alert comes, we connect via mail. We don't utilize the geolocation tracking feature. The unified dashboard helps me simplify device management for my team based on the location, as we have configured devices from many different countries. We give the device's name based on the location, allowing us to identify easily in the dashboard. Regarding operational cost savings, it is cost-saving because in other companies, they use different tools for different networks, such as one for Windows, another for Linux, and a different one for VMware. We use all the systems including Windows, Linux, and networking under Cisco, Centreon, and Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM), which is very cost-efficient. Regarding pricing and licensing of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM), I don't have information about that, as we are from the technical department. Details about subscription and quotation come from another department. I rate this solution 8 out of 10.

Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The container approach gets you separation between private and corporate data."

"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."

"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."

"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."

"It has allowed us to manage many different mobile device platforms, like Windows 10, Android, Apple, and BlackBerry 10, all through a single pane of glass."

"The most important feature is Blackberry Work, for sure, because that is where you have email."

"It allows me to be able to access my email when I do not necessarily have my computer with me. I can also access my calendar when I am on public transport or outside of the office."

"It was a big improvement to activate applications with one authentication. That was a big plus for the user experience."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."

"Having the ability to alter the network and WiFi settings remotely permits us to have quick response time."

"The best features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager include its simplicity and ease of use. It is straightforward to set up and manage devices compared to other products."

"The analysis of traffic and configuration capabilities are the most valuable aspects for us."

"The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature."

"It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer."

"Systems Manager is another cloud service from Cisco Meraki that helps you to manage all the devices in your organization, so you can deploy apps to all your devices around the world in a few clicks and in a few minutes."

"It's easy to use, easy to set up, and reliable."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) pros

"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."

"Microsoft Intune not only saves costs by reducing the number of personnel needed but also offers a comprehensive solution for managing laptops, applications, security, individual access, and enrollment."

"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."

"We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use."

"Endpoint Manager has been around the longest, it's survived, it's matured and it's the top dog in general."

"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."

"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."

"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."

More Microsoft Intune pros

Cons

"The entry level support needs improvement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that we do not have premium support. Therefore, we have to go through Level 1 support for any issues."

"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."

"That is where it is a bit challenging for us, because there is a lot of value-add in the product with a lot of different features."

"The interface could be improved."

"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."

"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."

"One fault that BlackBerry has is its salesforce. Their direct salesforce department is changing its salespeople constantly."

"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us."

"Geofency polices are great, but it depends on how the device has the localization services configured."

"There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better."

"The price is high for the market."

"The solution can be expensive."

"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation."

"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."

"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) cons

"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."

"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."

"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."

"Most of the customers in the business do not use Intune because it doesn't support that much policy for Android."

"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."

"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."

"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."

"There is room for improvement in Microsoft Intune regarding Linux and Mac compatibility because some limitations exist."

More Microsoft Intune cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."

"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."

"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."

"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."

"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."

"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."

"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."

"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pricing and cost advice

"The price is high for the market."

"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."

"The storage is affordable and the system has some price-related issues. Therefore, keeping the price in mind, I would rate it seven out of ten."

"This product is reasonably priced."

"Meraki MDM is the cheapest solution we have used."

"My clients find it a bit expensive compared to other systems."

"Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is an expensive solution."

"My customers at times have issues with the price of the solution. It is expensive, but overall it is worth it. The licensing model cost is based on how many devices you require."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) pricing and cost advice

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."

"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."

"The price is very reasonable."

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."

"Pricing can be improved."

"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
