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.

Solution supports seamless integration and promotes effective device management

For technical support of Citrix, I find they are responsive, but L1 is not very capable; this product requires some mature understanding, so sometimes they can handle small problems, but for major or architecture-related issues, their L3 or our L3 engineer helps them understand the problem.I would assess the technical support of Citrix as a seven from 1 to 10.

Useful for collaboration and storage but improvement is needed in API integration

The solution has traditional SSL integration, SAML, and Federation Services. In its latest version, it added SAML integration. However, it needs to work on API integration, especially for dashboards or integration with SAP for log and data system management. It doesn't yet have the kind of API that Google and Microsoft provide for synchronizing users with Active Directory. I think IceWarp needs to improve in a few areas. They have two types of admin consoles - a web-based one and a remote one. I'd like to see these combined into a single web-based admin console. The log reading and information system also needs improvement. The current way of showing incoming and outgoing logs isn't very clear. For new users, it's hard to understand these logs, especially compared to Office 365 and other systems with easier-to-read logs. They should also add an export option to get all logs with a single click whenever we need them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others; it is a very good and scalable solution."

"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."

"The best part of Intune is device control. If we need to block a user from opening something in their organization's system, we can do it from Intune. If we want to restrict the movement of an organization's data to prevent users from copying the data into Outlook, WhatsApp, or their personal Gmail, we can limit that via Intune. It secures all corporate data."

"The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."

"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."

"Intune's compliance features are valuable because they allow immediate visibility into ongoing situations."

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."

"Intune saves time, and it is very easy to use. It allows us to manage applications completely."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"One key feature is secure application delivery, which enables the secure delivery of mobile and web applications to end-user devices. This ensures data protection and compliance with corporate policies."

"We have seen improvements in compliance management on the devices."

"We have found the ability to manage user accounts on shared devices valuable as it reduces the need for multiple licenses, which saves costs."

"ShareFile, in particular, is valuable with its ease of sharing, and the best category security that is in the hands of users."

"Whenever I need to check my email with my mobile phone, Citrix Endpoint Management is essential for our firm."

"We have found the ability to manage user accounts on shared devices valuable as it reduces the need for multiple licenses, which saves costs."

"For mail containerization, Citrix Endpoint Management is very good, for document reading is very good, and if I have in-house applications, then if I want to publish them without compromising the data, then it's very good."

"The product is capable of acting in many different ways to help secure architecture."

More Citrix Endpoint Management pros

"It's scalable and stable."

"The product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it. Also, there is no requirement for any administrators to manage the product by the people who own the solution."

"The TeamChat feature has been really good for our email management. It lets us collaborate, share files, and invite guests like Google Spaces or Microsoft Teams. I like the two-factor authentication for security. However, they need to improve their document collaboration tools, as their Word, Excel, and PowerPoint features are basic compared to Microsoft and Google."

"The groupware module is the most valuable feature."

"Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."

"IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people."

"The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful. It is convenient that everything is in one place. You can easily share and collaborate documents, making the program's unity a significant advantage."

"The solution is easy to manage and includes features such as smart documents and the archiving of user data."

More IceWarp pros

Cons

"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."

"The platform is incredibly slow and could be more responsive. Specifically, when making changes to security policies, I would like to see those changes take effect more quickly."

"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."

"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."

"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."

"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."

"The iOS version updates do not work as well as I would like."

"The support provided by Citrix needs improvement."

"I would rate Citrix Endpoint Management as two out of ten overall, due to the policy changes and the lack of significant features or stability improvements."

"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."

"Citrix often depends on other services like backend data centers, network security, and application firewalls. Issues in these areas can be misinterpreted as Citrix issues by users."

"Citrix needs to improve the architecture. They also need to strengthen the application integration. They keep referring to some things to be required as security, and they keep selling the next level and on-premise separately. They should give the customer the opportunity to decide whether they want to use the next level on-premise or on-cloud, but they should not charge additional fees if the customer wants to deploy the next level on-premise because the customer is already being charged as the end user. They should allow next level on-premise optimization without any additional charges."

"The tool’s battery usage was high."

More Citrix Endpoint Management cons

"It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details."

"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."

"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."

"Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail."

"The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version."

"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."

"Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product."

"The solution needs improvements in security, particularly regarding document management."

More IceWarp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."

"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."

"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."

"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."

"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."

"The price for Intune is fair."

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The licensing costs vary depending on the customer and the licensing model. We have three main types: per-user, subscription, and concurrent user licenses, plus a user-based model."

"I don't see any challenges for the Indian market. For example, 1 GB is available for around 399 INR, and 2 GB for 499 INR. They offer a range of plans, from basic to professional and enterprise, with multiple features. IceWarp's aggressive pricing is competitive compared to other market solutions like Zoho and Microsoft. One significant advantage is that IceWarp does not impose user capping like Google and Microsoft, which allows for substantial cost savings and flexibility in user conversion."

"Pricing and licensing is very competitive and in some cases, cheap."

"Costs far less than other solutions."

"I would rate the pricing and eight out of ten."

"There are various licensing plans available based on geographic zone."

"It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."

"The solution is priced well."

"The solution is inexpensive which is its main benefit."
