We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues.""Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune.""The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution.""It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints.""I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management.""I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal.""...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard.""Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good.""Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."

More Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management Pros →

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it.""Integration between our departments has been the most valuable.""The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection.""You can scale the solution up or down by department.""The solution offers excellent documentation that is easily available online.""The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes.""A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy."

Cons
"The pricing could be improved.""I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows.""The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough.""In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products.""Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement.""It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing.""It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch.""The security features should be improved."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive.""In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42."

More Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management Cons →

"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it.""There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required.""Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit.""Its performance needs enhancement.""The MDM part of the engine could be better.""Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive.""The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present.""We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

    Silverback offers easy, scalable and secure device management for tablets and smartphones, including Android for Work, Windows 10 Mobile, iOS, and Mac OS.

    Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) is the only comprehensive solution designed to help manage and protect users, devices, apps, and data in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.
