Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 25, 2026

Microsoft Intune and BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite compete in the mobile device management category. Microsoft Intune seems to have the upper hand due to its integration with Microsoft 365, offering a cost-effective solution for organizations already using the Microsoft ecosystem.

Features: Microsoft Intune's tight integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure provides seamless management and security across Windows and other platforms. Its "single pane of glass" feature enhances corporate security with comprehensive policy enforcement. It also excels in cloud administration, eliminating the need for physical management applications. BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite offers robust mobile security through containerization, providing data protection on personal devices, which is particularly advantageous for organizations with a BYOD policy. Its secure container feature isolates corporate data on personal devices, ensuring it remains protected.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Intune users suggest improvements in advanced reporting capabilities, real-time synchronization, and enhanced support for macOS and Linux platforms. The lack of comprehensive remote management and control features is another area for development. BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite users often encounter complexities in setup and diverse platform support, such as Android Enterprise. Both solutions would benefit from more streamlined reporting and configuration workflows.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Intune's use of a public cloud infrastructure offers flexibility and scalability for global enterprises. However, its customer service, while responsive in cloud-native operations, could improve in complex scenarios. BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite, primarily on-premises, suits organizations with strict data sovereignty needs but may face scalability challenges. Its customer support is stable for long-term users, though it requires enhancement in remote assistance.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Intune stands out with its competitive pricing, often bundled with Microsoft licenses, maximizing value for enterprises within the Microsoft ecosystem. BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite may appear costly due to additional feature pricing, impacting ROI calculations. Nevertheless, its premium security features provide significant value for businesses in highly regulated environments, justifying the investment for those prioritizing mobile security.

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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It was a big improvement to activate applications with one authentication. That was a big plus for the user experience."

"Whenever we have issues, people rely on the ability to check messages promptly."

"We can access emails within the active sync."

"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."

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

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

"The technical support for the solution is excellent."

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

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

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

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."

"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."

"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."

"Microsoft Intune's autopilot has been nice to have."

"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 not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."

"Microsoft Intune is easy to use, and it is able to enforce policies towards multiple devices. It is able to bring multiple classes of devices into the same security posture. I found that very useful."

More Microsoft Intune pros

Cons

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

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

"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."

"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."

"It would be ideal if there was something for communication with Microsoft tools like Teams or Skype for Business, or perhaps even with Zoom for conference calls."

"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."

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

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

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."

"My main pain point for Microsoft Intune is the contact part. Not all Android or iOS applications have access to integration, for example, contacts."

"Unfortunately, Intune’s management extension does not provide the same level of logging, and I lack the visibility in Intune that I had with SCCM."

"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."

"I would like more clarity on how Intune is migrating control from Active Directory group policies, especially as we move over to Windows 11. It seems inefficient to manage some settings in Active Directory and others in Intune."

"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"

"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."

"When pushing anything from Microsoft Intune, the sync timing is 48 hours. While sometimes it takes 5 to 10 minutes, the official period given by Microsoft is within 48 hours, which can be time-consuming for policies, applications, or patches."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pricing and cost advice

"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."

"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."

"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."

"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."

"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
