Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

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

"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."

"Given all of the factors and things to consider, including features and cost, I would say that Intune has a slight edge over competing products."

"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."

"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"

"We were trying to solve many issues, mainly the lack of centralized management. Before Microsoft Intune, we had to manually support devices one by one, installing applications and configuring policies individually. When we implemented the tool, it became much easier to manage our devices. We enroll them in Microsoft Intune and can manage all devices with a few clicks. For application management, it's the same process. If we want to deploy applications to hundreds or thousands of devices, we can do it easily with just a few clicks. This also applies to policies."

"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."

"If you are looking for an MDM provider specifically for user and device certificate enrollment for your BYOD use cases or corporate devices, I believe Microsoft Intune could be one of the best solutions available."

"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security, and it helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"It was an improvement when we got the Tasks and the Notes as well as Connect for Skype For Business."

"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."

"The security is outstanding."

"I value the way BES UEM was able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."

"If you create such a setup, a secure setup, you will have a really fine solution."

"The main benefit is having email wherever you are and having access to your calendar wherever you are."

"Every version upgrade has been straightforward."

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

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."

Cons

"The major problem with this product is that there can be delays in the deployment of new policies."

"The support is not very good. It's very poor."

"If you could replace SCCM completely with Intune, that would be fantastic so that you don't have to run SCCM with Intune as an extension."

"The configuration and pricing can be improved."

"Microsoft documentation is a bit hard to get around, so having more control over devices would be good."

"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."

"If you're looking forward to deficiency, I'd say that the Endpoint Manager support at the lower levels is poor."

"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The installations on the device could be simpler. It is a good solution, and all the features are there. So, there isn't a lot to improve. I'm sure they already have their thought process on how to improve it."

"I know for the BlackBerry Connect, our users want to see more features, such as audio and video. I know the current version doesn't have that."

"It didn’t help us because we ran into lot of issues, and BlackBerry support couldn’t figure out the issues in a timely fashion."

"One issue that is very annoying at that moment, that we're having an argument about with BlackBerry, is the inability to remove the signature automatically from the server."

"The first installation is very complicated but future installments are much easier."

"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."

"Second level support needs to have strong knowledge of the product."

"I would like to see better integration with our AD. Instead of having to use Active Directory groups, we'd like to use Active Directory attributes instead. There is a lot of overhead in managing. Whereas, if we could key on something tied to HR, or some other feed indicating who they are or what role they have, and manage them that way, that would be much preferable than having to manage people with Active Directory groups. Because, if people move roles, then we have to make sure that we move them from one Active Directory group to another, which is hands-on, a lot of overhead."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"Lacks a factory reset feature."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable for the features it has."

"The price is very reasonable."

"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."

"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."

"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"

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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 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."

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

"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."

"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 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."
