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

"Intune does consolidate all endpoint and security management tools into one place, making everything easier to manage."
"The ability to deploy patches and automate software deployments to end-user devices is very useful."
"Overall, the best features of Microsoft Intune are its ease of management and robust security protocols, which are what I value most about it and how it stands out."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."
"Within Intune, managing policies and having a consistent way to manage devices is valuable."
"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"The valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"We are able to deliver applications fast to our mobile workloads so that users can make use of it instantly."
"MaaS can force people to lock their phones. Not everyone likes having a PIN and other security features on their phones, but this sets a requirement that you can't get your emails unless you have a PIN on your phone. That was a good feature, and we were able to easily increase the PIN from four digits to six digits. Overall, it was pretty user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are remote enablement and access to my intranet resources, without depending on the VPN."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"IBM MaaS360 has positively impacted my organization by improving efficiency and security across the organization."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"Microsoft Intune can be improved by making it even more seamless for users to download their certificates."
"When you have a pressing issue, there is a lack of response. I believe Microsoft support needs to work on the response aspect."
"The most significant issue I encounter is troubleshooting when a policy is not applying or a device is showing non-compliant; the error messages can be pretty vague, which makes it necessary for me to dig around and piece things together myself."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"Sometimes I would like to have local support because a company that provides 24/7 support means that the technical support staff are not always fluent English speakers."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"Subscriptions automatically renew, and if you've downsized your user base, and you've overlooked the subscription, then you have to go through the exhaustive task of adjusting the contract."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"The price could be lower. It is excessively high."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"Pricing can be improved."
"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"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 pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"IBM products are expensive compared to the tools offered by its competitors. IBM MaaS360 is an expensive tool."
"Fees are monthly and it's approximately $8 per user."
"I rate IBM MaaS360’s pricing a six out of ten."
"IBM MaaS360 is cheaper compared to other alternatives. Others are at least three to six times costlier."
"I rate IBM MaaS360's pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
