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."It is a very helpful solution."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"The tool's most valuable features are application, distribution, and security. It helps to block user access."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"We've found the scalability to be very good."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."
"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."
"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."
"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."
"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"The security features should be improved."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"Sometimes IBM MaaS360 seems buggy...The solution's technical support team is sometimes slow to respond and not competent enough."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"Configuring policies is difficult in IBM MaaS360. It also needs to improve usability."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."
"The tool's stability could be better."
"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
