Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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.

Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"When comparing Microsoft Intune to Jamf, Microsoft Intune is superior."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."
"Compared to the product that we upgraded from, we have received great responses from our end users who are appreciative of the following: They can access their calendar in events better than the other product that we were using."
"I think it's a very solid product and people generally like it."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable."
"It was a big improvement to activate applications with one authentication. That was a big plus for the user experience."
"Web-based management tools are handy for administrators to control the ACL."
"It was an improvement when we got the Tasks and the Notes as well as Connect for Skype For Business."
"The security is outstanding."
"We can access emails within the active sync."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"Although Intune is from the same provider, its integration with other Microsoft products, like Microsoft Defender or Microsoft Purview, could be improved."
"The major problem with this product is that there can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"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."
"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."
"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way for team members to get onboarded in regards to what they have to do on the device. There are some programs like Apple DEP and Samsung Knox. Unfortunately, with these programs, to get existing users onto them, you have to factory wipe your device. If it did not have the DEP capabilities, it would be nicer if it did not have so many steps to go through. That is our biggest complaint from team members. It has too many steps."
"What I'm noticing now, and it feels like I took a step back, is that I have to zip logs again and upload them, and that takes a lot of time."
"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."
"They could improve their QA. There are many times where something will be released, a new client will be released, and something gets broken. Or they do a release and they don't take into consideration how some people may be using parts of it. Even though it's supported, they release something and it breaks it because they weren't aware of it. The biggest thing for me right now is, I would like to see improvement in their QA. I'm tired of getting broken software."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"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."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."
