We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 and SAP Mobile Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."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."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable features are application, distribution, and security. It helps to block user access."
"We've found the scalability to be very good."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any support from the manufacturer."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
"Both platforms, the SAP Mobile Platform, and SAP, are highly valuable for our company because they facilitate integration, which can be expensive. It's very convenient to connect and create billing accounts through the SAP Mobile Platform."
"Technical support is helpful."
"One valuable feature of SAP Mobile Platform is its enterprise-grade standard and maintained APIs, available out of the box for easy integration with various systems."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace. This is one of the areas of improvement that I would like to highlight. We have also observed that in the contact list, a lot of duplication is happening. A single contact is duplicated three or four times, which also consumes more memory resources. If they can work on improving it for these aspects, it will have a more positive impact not only on the way the application is being consumed by the user but also on user satisfaction. A lot of new features are being deployed or rolled out by companies that are competitors of IBM MaaS360. IBM will have to ensure that all those features are on board so that we have a complete suite of features in the platform, rather than deploying multiple diverse solutions to cater to the requirements of our customers."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"We opted to go with Microsoft Intune because it just seemed to be a more mature and comprehensive enterprise solution, whereas IBM MaaS360 didn't seem to have the necessary breadth to manage all of our equipment. Along with laptops, I've had some BYODs. IBM MaaS360 just didn't seem as mature in our assessment."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"Local technical support would be helpful."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"SAP has announced that they'll be ending the support on the SAP platform."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
