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.

Ensures enterprise-level security with seamless updates and integration
The key benefits of Samsung Knox include its secure and user-friendly nature straight out of the box, giving enterprise customers security assurance. A specific feature, Knox E-FOTA One, allows forced firmware updates over the air without end-user intervention, which can be scheduled to occur during off-hours. Additionally, the Knox Secure Folder sandboxes both personal and work data, ensuring corporate data does not mix with personal data. The integration capabilities allow for seamless integration with the customer's MDM product set, providing access to the Knox Suite ecosystem. These features allow compliance with industry regulations, crucial as enterprises move toward a cloud-based, zero-trust security model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements."
"When a user receives the machine, sets it up, and turns it on, it connects to the domain and begins installing software, becoming ready within approximately half an hour, which represents a significant time savings for IT departments."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"By using Microsoft Intune, I can control my Outlook on my phone, and whenever I try to open any file attachment, it will be more secure."
"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."
"It gives us the ability to have a container and the most secure possible application."
"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."
"Provides access to our Lotus Notes system in a controlled and managed manner and is device agnostic with a similar interface for the gamet of devices in the market."
"We were able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"It was a big improvement to activate applications with one authentication; that was a big plus for the user experience."
"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."
"If you create such a setup, a secure setup, you will have a really fine solution."
"The security is outstanding."
"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."
"Samsung Knox has good support for data protection, especially when using devices for profile installations, firmware updates, or configuration suites, as they are all data protected with a double layer of protection using our own MDM server alongside Samsung Knox services."
"Samsung Knox is essential because you can centrally manage all your devices, including Android devices, iPhones, and Windows devices, in one platform at an affordable price, improving your security with GPOs and different policies, which is crucial in these times when we need to secure all communications, software, and various components against hackers."
"Samsung Knox has very seamless integration capabilities for deployment; we easily upload devices through the KME, Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment."
"Based on my experience and understanding, Samsung Knox is quite good, user-friendly, and top-notch."
"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
"One portal for all the features and the remote support capability in Samsung Knox is highly valued. The enterprise editions and the free Knox Suite licenses for one year are also beneficial."
 

Cons

"Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite."
"Reporting can be better. Only global administrators can see detailed reports at the moment, and I don't want to use the global admin."
"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."
"The reporting dashboard is really limited."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process."
"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."
"What I'm noticing now, and it feels like I took a step back, is that I have to zip logs again and upload them, and that takes a lot of time."
"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that."
"I know for the BlackBerry Connect, our users want to see more features, such as audio and video. I know the current version doesn't have that."
"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."
"The interface could be improved."
"As far as being able to remotely wipe a device, or remove it from the console, this is not simple to do. It is not a one-click motion, as it requires several steps."
"Support is terrible for the most part."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"We faced multiple issues when pushing configuration profiles and policies through Samsung Knox. The students were cracking the entire system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"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."
"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."
"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 currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."
"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."
"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."
