We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity and Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security 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.
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"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 initial setup is easy."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it."
"The solution is scalable."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in 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."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"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."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"The MDM part of the engine could be better."
