Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Review about BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite

For the purpose of better performance is we have some applications, internal applications, that work on document but when we did integration with BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise, yeah. I think that we failed. We failed on that integration. We cannot integrate that BlackBerry Edit. BlackBerry Edit has issues for editing any document. We have other internal applications that can bring or field documents but cannot edit into BlackBerry Edit. There's room for improvement with editing documents. When I was the [inaudible 00:09:48] for BlackBerry Enterprise, maybe they need to create... I'm so sorry. Because for month or once on a month, I need to delete database or some database logs from BlackBerry that use much [crosstalk 00:10:09]- I think the database slow because the BlackBerry Enterprise, it have database that put inside SQL Server, so every month I need to check the hard disk if it is sufficient to handle the database files or not. Every month, I need to check hard disk, so if it's not sufficient or it's already full, I need to delete some logs. I think on the UEM server, they can keep the database or hard disk performance, like approval. So from the UEM server, we can delete any file that is not used anymore. Yeah, something like that, I think.

The user-friendly interface and effective patch management streamline server maintenance

There are times when we have a particular software installed in our system, but we do not receive patches for it from Endpoint Central. The support team mentions that the software may not be updated in their database yet, which requires us to raise a request for their database update. This lack of regular database updates has been an issue. Additionally, Endpoint Central does not support Linux, which makes it challenging to patch Linux machines using commands. Support for Linux, such as CentOS or Ubuntu, would be highly beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."

"The initial setup is not complex."

"It is very easy for me to configure all the things. Once I create policies and applications in Intune, it is very easy for us to enroll users."

"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."

"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."

"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."

"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."

"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The most important feature is Blackberry Work, for sure, because that is where you have email."

"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."

"There is very high flexibility for different setups of single users, so it can give a single use many different device types with different enrollment types."

"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."

"It was an improvement when we got the Tasks and the Notes as well as Connect for Skype For Business."

"It gives us the ability to have a container and the most secure possible application."

"Security is the most valuable feature, because we are a financial institution. We have a large number of clients and we have to make sure all communications are secure and PCI compliant."

"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"ManageEngine Desktop Central has greatly improved our organization by utilizing Service Desk Plus to monitor and keep track of issues that our end users report to our Help Desk Department. We also have written in the ode of our company's software to notify Support if an end-user experience an issue and does not report it."

"The most important feature we found to be useful in the COVID situation is the secure connection, which gives the IT support staff the ability to seamlessly connect with the users remotely and in a secure way."

"The stability is very good."

"The solution is definitely scalable."

"ManageEngine Endpoint Central is straightforward to use and implement."

"What is great about the patch management solution, is that it patches OS, applications, browsers, plug-ins, and firmware updates."

"The patch management aspect of the solution is the most valuable part for us."

"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management capabilities, especially for third-party applications, along with quick and easy configuration and deployment processes."

More ManageEngine Endpoint Central pros

Cons

"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."

"Customer service used to be better. In the last couple of years, support has not been very good, even with Premier and Premium support. It's been very hit-or-miss."

"Back in 2020, there were significant problems with report accuracy, particularly regarding web patching."

"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."

"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."

"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."

"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."

"The security features should be improved."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."

"We cannot integrate BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise. BlackBerry Edit has issues when we are editing any document. We have other internal applications that we can use for documents, but we cannot edit into BlackBerry Edit. There's room for improvement with editing documents."

"It would be nice if there was an easier way for team members to get onboarded in regards to what they have to do on the device. There are some programs like Apple DEP and Samsung Knox. Unfortunately, with these programs, to get existing users onto them, you have to factory wipe your device. If it did not have the DEP capabilities, it would be nicer if it did not have so many steps to go through. That is our biggest complaint from team members. It has too many steps."

"The initial installation could be simplified."

"What we don't have at the moment is RDP from the device to some kind of PC. Another feature would be access to a delegate's mailbox and I think that is to come in one of the next releases. There have been a lot of requests for that type of feature where, for example, a secretary can access the mailbox of the boss."

"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."

"The interface could be improved."

"Second level support needs to have strong knowledge of the product."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"It is compatible with the systems such as Windows and Mac but not with Linux systems."

"The team I've currently got is not using it particularly well, due to the fact that they don't know how to use it particularly well. They've not done any training and so on."

"There are occasional glitches."

"The solution should be better at integrating with other solutions."

"ManageEngine Endpoint Central’s scalability could be improved."

"There are times when we have a particular software installed in our system, however, we do not receive patches for it from Endpoint Central."

"The technical support could improve response times, especially when immediate assistance is needed."

"It might be helpful if they offered a simpler way to use the OS deployment function. It's a bit complicated for most of the customers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."

"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."

"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"

"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."

"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."

"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

"It is not expensive."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."

"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."

"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."

"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."

"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."

"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."

"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."

"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is average."

"The solution is very affordable."

"I have been using the free version and am in the stage where I have to decide if I will proceed with the paid license, or instead choose another product."

"The price could be cheaper."

"The initial purchase was around $6,000 or $7,000. We most probably are not on an annual subscription. We bought it, and then we pay for the maintenance. I'm not 100% sure how that's working out."

"The product is cheap."

"The pricing is very low, compared to other products. Compared to Intune or SCCM, it's much less. I can say it's a good product for less of a price."

"Affordable for any customer."

Reviews from Real Users

PeerSpot user, Sr Engineer Administrator at a university, says that "Its cross-platform capabilities and the ability to do both OS-level patching and third-party patching are valuable. It is difficult to find a software product that will do all that for you out of the box, and you don't have to do any configuration other than your initial setup. Once you do that, there is a very minimalistic approach to getting it operational. You can have it up and running within a 20-minute time span."

Park Armstrong, Chief Technical and Solution Architect at Vertigo Inc., writes that ManageEngine Endpoint Central is “Helpful for identifying and filling the gaps and meeting compliance needs, but each of their product works as an independent product and lacks integration”.
