Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"All features that we have deployed are useful. We do access office emails on our smartphones, and we have complete sync with Active Directory. Our calendar also gets synced in the MaaS360 application. We also ensure that the data from these official applications is not being misused by any of the employees. We have disabled cut, copy, paste, and all such features. It ensures that all the official data that our employees have on their smartphones is secure. Security is the paramount feature that we value in this product."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"One valuable feature is the ability to provide a secure environment. Another is the kiosk mode where MaaS360 can be used over a tablet or mobile device to ensure that a single application is used."
"This is a very secure and stable tool."
"The most valuable feature is being able to securely connect and use virtual desktops."
"VPN tunneling is a very valuable feature of Pulse Connect Secure. I also like that it is straightforward to use, and you can see traffic logs on it."
"The stability of the product is its most valuable feature."
"The flexibility in their management is great."
"The solution helps with principal decisions. It also helps with the security and configuration of many technologies."
"The product is easy to use."
"From an end-user perspective, the setup phase is easy."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"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 reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"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."
"The price could be lower."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"Configuring policies is difficult in IBM MaaS360. It also needs to improve usability."
"The stability could be better. There are sometimes bugs in the system."
"Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."
"Connection-wise, Pulse Connect Secure could be faster, and this is its area for improvement."
"User experience and after-sales support could be better. For example, over the last couple of years, when this COVID scenario was going on, there were multiple attacks on these types of solutions. SQL has been attacked numerous times, and there were a lot of vulnerabilities, and our customers had to update and upgrade the devices every two weeks or every month. This was a headache. It could also be more scalable."
"Ivanti Connect Secure needs to have faster connections. It also needs to improve the stability."
"I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"The product could use additional dashboards."
