Senior Business Development Executive at Digitaltrack
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.

Straightforward initial setup, it took less than a week to get everybody up and running
We are using the latest version of this solution. My primary use case is for mobile device protection The middleman protection and the WiFi protection are the most valuable features.  General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time so reporting could be improved,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From the user perspective, Microsoft Intune enables access to corporate data and apps even on personal devices, which is convenient."
"The system itself is great."
"This improved control and visibility has helped my organization by reducing risks, saving time, and making compliance easier."
"Microsoft Intune has saved me about 30% of my time through streamlined processes and efficient resource management."
"Microsoft Intune has been a valuable solution for improving endpoint management, security compliance, and remote administration in my environment; it has highly simplified device management operations and improved overall visibility and control over managed devices."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."
"Microsoft Intune is extremely important from a security perspective to ensure devices are compliant and gives us the efficiency to deploy apps automatically to a large number of users without the need for interaction from a client side, which is always helpful."
"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."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"IBM MaaS360 gives us the ability to remote wipe, control, and block code from models and features we do not want on devices we have."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"If you leave the backing to an organization like IBM, you can rest assured that it's a good solution."
"Before Maas360 we had no way of knowing of how many devices were in the field due to IT not being a part of the purchasing process."
"MaaS360 helped us to have the console ready in less than 10 minutes and start enrolling devices immediately."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"What I'd like to see in their next upgrade is more in the context of today's security policies and what's needed, for them to keep adding features based on that, for example boosting security, so they can keep on adding security features, and that is the best they can do."
"I find the price for Microsoft Intune too high, which represents an area for improvement in Microsoft's pricing model."
"Those are the two features that did not impress me much, and currently with other customers I am improving them with Microsoft directly."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"For migrations, sometimes we experience some issues with OS deployment and the user experience side."
"There are differences in protecting the data on a mobile device and on iOS. When you protect the data on iOS, you protect the entire device."
"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."
"Microsoft Intune could be faster with client to server communication. Whenever I push something, it takes time; sometimes it takes more than one hour to deploy on the Windows side."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"However, if it is purely through IBM, the service is definitely lacking."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"The price could be lower. It is excessively high."
"IBM support has not been that helpful. I have contacted chat support but they could not give a useful answer."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."

"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."
