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.

Useful for vulnerability management with many integrations
We use RiskSense for vulnerability management, and we have many integrations.  The solution is deployed on cloud. We use this solution daily. There are more than 200 people using this solution in my organization Most of the features are similar to what other tools have, but the UIs are quite user…

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

"Having access to our internet was extremely beneficial. We don't have that functionality now that we have switched to Microsoft Intune. It was definitely better with Blackberry."
"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."
"We were able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"We are able to separate personal information and in the event of e breach, we are able to turn off access and/or delete this information."
"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."
"We can access emails within the active sync."
"Whenever we have issues, people rely on the ability to check messages promptly."
"The technical support for the solution is excellent."
"Most of the features are similar to what other tools have, but the UIs are quite user friendly. A beginner could use it."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is quite good because there's not much disturbance in the background; it's just running in the background."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others; it is a very good and scalable solution."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"The biggest benefit for me in Microsoft Intune is control; I can control my users and what they can do and enforce the policies that I want to enforce, and it is a great tool to control and put structure to take the organization to the place I want to take it."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Intune include remote updates. The update runs in the background, so there's no need in most cases to go on-site to do it."
"It is a cloud solution, and you can easily scale as your needs grow."
"Easy to use."
 

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."
"One fault that BlackBerry has is its salesforce. Their direct salesforce department is changing its salespeople constantly. One client I had, over a period of about three years, went through four salespeople. That continuity is a problem, in terms of dealing with the customers."
"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that. The fact that it breaks on some end-users' devices is also a concern and just the frequency and complexity of upgrades is not ideal."
"Second level support needs to have strong knowledge of the product."
"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."
"The console needs improvement. It does not provide all the information that we are looking for as far as who has installed a certain product."
"It would be ideal if there was something for communication with Microsoft tools like Teams or Skype for Business, or perhaps even with Zoom for conference calls."
"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."
"I would also like to see more integrations, plugins, and user-friendly automation, similar to the multiple integration scripts that Rapid7 has."
"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"I wish Microsoft would keep up with their documentation. They make changes so quickly to these platforms that they do not update the documentation properly in a timely manner."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"Microsoft Intune is not as fast and extensive as traditional solutions such as SCCM and others."
"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."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."
"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
Information not available
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
