We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity and ManageEngine ADManager Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"Although we have not looked at the whole product and explored it completely, we find that all the authentication features that we are using now are valuable."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. They allow me to see everything in real-time and drill down and pick and choose versus running scripts."
"The solution offers very good reports for management purposes."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use, the ability for us to customize the access privileges for the users, and integration with ServiceDesk Plus."
"Almost every feature of the solution is valuable to me. This includes the importing and exporting to the active directory from the CSC firewall."
"Makes it easy to administer your active directory."
"Simple with good automation."
"The most valuable feature for me is automation."
"The security features should be improved."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"The solution's storage capacity could be increased."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different systems, mainly wireless SIEMS and other analytical systems that we want to introduce."
"The number of main controllers affects the database for creating the hardware specs."
"The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets."
"This solution is not stable, it wasted my time."
"The bulk email ID creation must be improved. I had to create 50 to 60 IDs manually because when I tried the bulk option, it didn't work. I still had to cross-verify because some fields were empty."
"Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities."
"There is room for improvement in support, they should work on overall competence and turn-around time."
"I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."
