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.

Helpful technical support, and performs well, but initial setup could be simplified

They are constantly improving the scalability of BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite. More collaborative features are being developed. I know they have integrations with a lot of other vendors and applications, and it's constantly growing. Our company has approximately 3,000 users. I would say we have ten people for actual administrative roles with Blackberry.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."

"Microsoft Intune has transformed my organization; we are managing to scale the Intune deployment across all our regions efficiently, and it works perfectly for our needs."

"The security compliance capabilities make it widely adopted across organizations."

"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."

"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."

"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."

"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."

"As an IT administrator, I appreciate Intune's ability to implement granular device-level policies for our organization's employees."

More Microsoft Intune pros

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

"It allows me to be able to access my email when I do not necessarily have my computer with me. I can also access my calendar when I am on public transport or outside of the office."

"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable. Having access to your emails in a secure way is one of the most important features of this solution. Blackberry ensures data security, and as a user, I can use it while on roaming or wherever I am."

"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 containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."

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

"We can access emails within the active sync."

"It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

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

"ManageEngine Endpoint Central has significantly simplified my device management practices."

"Honestly, I have to say all features together have become the Swiss army knife of desktop management. They all work hand in hand. Software deployment saves an unbelievable amount of time installing an application on hundreds of computers."

"It's a complete product that allows you to remote troubleshoot, has an inventory of systems."

"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."

"Has good functionality and is user-friendly."

"The initial setup process is good."

"The most valuable feature to me is the vulnerability management."

More ManageEngine Endpoint Central pros

Cons

"Reporting needs improvement."

"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."

"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."

"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."

"Each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."

"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."

"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."

"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."

"I would like more support for Google Chromebook operating system, so I could manage it."

"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 entry level support needs improvement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that we do not have premium support. Therefore, we have to go through Level 1 support for any issues."

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

"The newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."

"The pain points for us would be the activation."

"One fault that BlackBerry has is its salesforce. Their direct salesforce department is changing its salespeople constantly. One client I had, over a period of about three years, went through four salespeople. That continuity is a problem, in terms of dealing with the customers."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"We would like to see options for deploying Microsoft 365 accounts into Outlook. For now we only can use it to deploy exchange accounts. Also we would like to see an option do decline Windows 7 ESU patches in a bulk."

"Many features in Desktop Central are licensed separately. It would be more convenient if they could organize these tools into a single package."

"Improvement of the chats on the web communication through the WAN would be helpful."

"ManageEngine could be improved by giving customers an option to perform certain actions proactively. Since I was a consultant, I worked on different products and some had advantages over ManageEngine. For example, proactive remediation—you want to proactively check something on the computers and run the script. In ManageEngine, you have the option to run the script, but Intune has the option to do so proactively. ManageEngine doesn't have this. You should have the option to act proactively, not just going ahead and fixing it once it's done. Proactive remediation should be a feature."

"The team should work on improving the stability, particularly with massive patches deployment, clients are not 100% getting patches and the information provided by the system does not help; more detailed report would be very useful."

"Their support channel could be better. They're an India-based company. They're based out of India. So, here in the States, support can be difficult when you're dealing with time zone requirements. A more global support channel would be a wise choice for them."

"The pricing could be a bit better."

"I really feel like asset explorer should be a component of desktop central. That would make it the ultimate desktop management tool. This would also simplify the asset management role since an agent is already being deployed and assets could be added at the same time."

More ManageEngine Endpoint Central cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."

"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."

"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."

"It is not expensive."

"The price is very reasonable."

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

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

"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."

"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."

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

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The solution is very affordable."

"The product is cheap."

"The price could be cheaper."

"Compared to other products, ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a very cheap solution."

"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."

"We pay about $250 a year for our license."

"The pricing of the product is not bad compared to the other similar solutions in the market."

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”.
