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

"Microsoft Intune has improved endpoint visibility, simplified remote device management, and helped standardize security policies across both corporate and remote devices."
"It is easy to use and easy to roll out with low impact on users; it is stable and scalable as well, and the central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"We have definitely seen a good return on investment, as it has saved a good amount of time in device setup and support, reducing manual effort by around forty to fifty percent and also fewer on-site interventions since most issues are handled remotely."
"Microsoft Intune brings all endpoint and security management tools into one place, and for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating, it's reliable."
"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."
"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."
"Technical support is stellar."
"The security is outstanding."
"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."
"We are using BlackBerry Work applications for accessing emails, calendars, and contacts, and the users are happy to have an easy way to have access to emails on the go."
"I value the way BES UEM was able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"When the product works, it allows us to secure these devices in a way we could not before, and have control over the iOS updates and applications that we lacked."
"The container approach gets you separation between private and corporate data."
"It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"One area where Microsoft Intune could be improved is troubleshooting, as it sometimes takes time to identify the exact cause when application deployments or policy assignments do not work as expected."
"Each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."
"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."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"The reporting dashboard is really limited."
"When I started learning Microsoft Intune, I struggled because it was not straightforward; everything is in forms and it takes time to understand. The UI is extremely bad; it has a lot of overlapping elements and is confusing in many senses."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Support is terrible for the most part."
"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 pain points for us would be the activation."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"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."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
