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 device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements."
"Intune is a very good cloud solution for managing devices."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"It has improved our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"It's cloud-based with no need for on-premise infrastructure, you can access it anywhere and start working on it, and you will have the record of data in your hand anytime if you need it quickly."
"The security compliance capabilities make it widely adopted across organizations."
"The security of the product is excellent."
"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."
"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."
"The container approach gets you separation between private and corporate data."
"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."
"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."
"It was a big improvement to activate applications with one authentication. That was a big plus for the user experience."
"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune is currently overpriced."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
"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."
"I rate Microsoft support four out of 10. Support is one area where Microsoft needs to improve a lot. I recently raised a ticket for a Microsoft Azure issue, and it took two and a half weeks for support to reply. They need to improve support across their entire catalog of products."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment. While it works very well for Microsoft users but if you have other kinds of operating systems, it's very painful to use."
"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."
"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that."
"The application is consistent across devices, but the interface is not as robust as you would expect for an enterprise solution."
"Second level support needs to have strong knowledge of the product."
"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."
"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."
"As far as being able to remotely wipe a device, or remove it from the console, this is not simple to do. It is not a one-click motion, as it requires several steps."
"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

"The solution is cost-efficient."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."
"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."
