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

"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Intune is a very good product and everything is cloud-based, and it provides a very simple unified platform to manage everything from the single management console."
"Microsoft Intune has transformed my organization; we are managing to scale the Intune deployment across all our regions efficiently, and it works perfectly for our needs."
"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."
"The feature of remotely wiping devices in Microsoft Intune is what I prefer the most."
"Intune saves time, and it is very easy to use. It allows us to manage applications completely."
"It saves time, money, and resources; when there was a local liaison, managing everything was a significant challenge, but with Microsoft Intune, it has become much easier—around 60% to 70% easier—and in terms of reliability and ease of use, it excels."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."
"Technical support is stellar."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable. Having access to your emails in a secure way is one of the most important features of this solution. Blackberry ensures data security, and as a user, I can use it while on roaming or wherever I am."
"Security is the most valuable feature, because we are a financial institution, we have a large number of clients, and we have to make sure all communications are secure and PCI compliant."
"My customers find that they don't have to worry about managing their VPN connections for their mobile users, because BlackBerry handles all of that, as opposed to if you're just using Office 365."
"The main benefit is having email wherever you are and having access to your calendar wherever you are."
"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."
"We are able to secure and control all company-owned devices which is essential for us as a financial company."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"If your MDM has to be really specific, perhaps Intune is not the better option."
"There could be more competent processes and improvements in the policy space."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved in several areas."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools."
"Unfortunately, Intune’s management extension does not provide the same level of logging, and I lack the visibility in Intune that I had with SCCM."
"Technical support is not great. If you open up a case, it may remain there for a long time."
"My assessment of the user experience of Microsoft Intune is that it is sometimes good and sometimes poor, depending on Microsoft's infrastructure."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."
"The pain points for us would be the activation."
"The biggest thing for me right now is, I would like to see improvement in their QA. I'm tired of getting broken software."
"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."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"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."
"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."
"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."
"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."
"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."
