Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 19, 2025

Microsoft Intune and BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite compete in the enterprise mobility management category. Microsoft Intune might have the upper hand due to its comprehensive integration within the Microsoft ecosystem, which appeals to businesses already using Microsoft services.

Features: Microsoft Intune offers integration with Office 365 and Azure, providing single sign-on experiences. It also includes Conditional Access, which enforces security policies and controls access from trusted devices. Cloud administration is another highlight, enabling management without on-premises infrastructure. BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite provides secure email access and solid containerization, ensuring data separation. It is beneficial in compliance-focused environments, maintaining strict corporate and personal use separation. Its containerization feature excels in both security and usability.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Intune needs to improve its third-party application compatibility, especially in advanced MAM capabilities. Enhancement in reporting functionalities and real-time synchronization is also needed. More native Mac and Linux support would be beneficial, along with simplifying the enrollment process. BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite should enhance integration with modern productivity tools and expand beyond mobile device management, as its current capabilities are limited compared to modern platforms.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Intune offers public and hybrid cloud deployment but requires detailed configuration and a learning curve. Customer support has mixed reviews, with some finding support layers slow or insufficiently knowledgeable. BlackBerry favors on-premises deployment with traditional support approaches, generally praised for responsiveness and industry expertise in resolving issues.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive, especially when bundled with Microsoft 365 licenses, making it an economical choice for those using Microsoft services. Economies of scale and integration benefits are evident, although additional features may incur incremental costs. BlackBerry, viewed as more expensive, offers robust security and management tools. Its straightforward licensing model emphasizes value from security features and reliable performance.

Review about BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite

For the purpose of better performance is we have some applications, internal applications, that work on document but when we did integration with BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise, yeah. I think that we failed. We failed on that integration. We cannot integrate that BlackBerry Edit. BlackBerry Edit has issues for editing any document. We have other internal applications that can bring or field documents but cannot edit into BlackBerry Edit. There's room for improvement with editing documents. When I was the [inaudible 00:09:48] for BlackBerry Enterprise, maybe they need to create... I'm so sorry. Because for month or once on a month, I need to delete database or some database logs from BlackBerry that use much [crosstalk 00:10:09]- I think the database slow because the BlackBerry Enterprise, it have database that put inside SQL Server, so every month I need to check the hard disk if it is sufficient to handle the database files or not. Every month, I need to check hard disk, so if it's not sufficient or it's already full, I need to delete some logs. I think on the UEM server, they can keep the database or hard disk performance, like approval. So from the UEM server, we can delete any file that is not used anymore. Yeah, something like that, I think.

Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."

"The containerization of the BlackBerry Dynamics is the most important thing for us. It allows us to keep personal and corporate data separate on a personal device. It allows us to wipe the corporate data while leaving all the personal data in place."

"It gives us the ability to have a container and the most secure possible application."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"It was a big improvement to activate applications with one authentication. That was a big plus for the user experience."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."

"Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security."

"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place, acting as a comprehensive solution where we can manage numerous devices and configuration profiles, and block specific URLs, among many other capabilities."

"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."

"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."

"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."

"Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 endpoints."

More Microsoft Intune pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."

"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."

"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."

"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."

"We cannot integrate BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise. BlackBerry Edit has issues when we are editing any document. We have other internal applications that we can use for documents, but we cannot edit into BlackBerry Edit. There's room for improvement with editing documents."

"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."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."

"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."

"I would like more clarity on how Intune is migrating control from Active Directory group policies, especially as we move over to Windows 11. It seems inefficient to manage some settings in Active Directory and others in Intune."

"The support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."

"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."

"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."

"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."

"The solution requires Mac support."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."

"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."

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."

"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"

"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
