Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Centralized device control has improved security and streamlined daily management tasks
The best features IBM MaaS360 offers include centralized device management, policy enforcement, compliance tracking, and remote device actions. These features make managing and securing endpoints much more efficient. Another feature I appreciate about IBM MaaS360 is the visibility it provides. Being able to view device status, compliance, and security information from one console makes day-to-day management much easier. IBM MaaS360 has positively impacted my organization by improving efficiency and security across the organization. We can manage devices more efficiently, maintain compliance, and resolve issues faster. We save time for both IT teams and end users. The AI outputs from IBM MaaS360 have been reliable in our experience. They provide useful insights and recommendations that help with device management and security monitoring. Though we still review important findings before taking action.

Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When comparing these two products, I prefer Intune."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"Turning the endpoint infrastructure into a highly efficient operation was the best thing that happened to our organization."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"Microsoft Intune solutions, especially Microsoft Intune and Microsoft 365, have positively impacted my organization by improving endpoint security, enabling centralized device management, supporting remote work efficiently, reducing manual administrative effort through automation, and enhancing compliance and collaboration across the enterprise environment."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security, and it helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"I like the way mobile device management works in terms of how the data is segregated, as well as the office and personal data."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"Every new device was configured manually, it used to require about 20 minutes of engineer attention, now it's about three minutes."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"It is a stable solution."
"We've found the scalability to be very good."
"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."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune could be improved by providing more detailed and easier-to-navigate reporting and troubleshooting, especially when diagnosing policy failures."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great; they don't give a lot of meaning so far."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"For migrations, sometimes we experience some issues with OS deployment and the user experience side."
"Automations in Microsoft Intune can be more elaborated; KQL (Kusto Query Language) is available, but if multiple automation options were readily available, which would include PowerShell, KQL, JSON, and different interpreters like VS Code or Python readily available from Microsoft Intune, it would help administration and management much better."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"Overall, I haven't been happy with it. Their licensing platform is absolutely awful."
"There is a glaring security flaw where users can wipe their phones and they still show compliant in Maas360."
"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."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace."
"Possibly a notification if a device is wiped and no longer has the security policy on the phone. The product can also install the certificates on the phone in a 'smoother' way."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"It is not expensive."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"IBM products are a little pricey."
"The solution is expensive."
"MaaS360 is priced at a balance. It is not as expensive as AirWatch or Jamf and is not a cheap solution like a few of the local products."
"​It requires zero investment in infrastructure since it is 100% cloud.​"
"There are other solutions cheaper than IBM MaaS360, such as Microsoft Intune."
"The licensing structure is broken down into levels, each with different functionalities available. Depending on your license, there may be additional fees for extra features."
"I feel the pricing to be very high."
