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.

Effortless policy management with built-in simplicity that enhances user experience
I work in kiosk delivery for my users' laptops and cellular phones It's very easy to use. It's very comfortable to work on Hexnode since its form and usage are very simple. The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer…

Bulk phone setup has become more efficient while content distribution remains manageable
The main benefit of IBM MaaS360 is phone control and rollout. I acquired it because I was onboarding 15 new people, and it was more efficient to manage 15 phones from a computer than to handle each phone individually. I was able to manage what apps people were downloading with IBM MaaS360, ensuring they had what they needed. I could monitor their downloads and remove applications if necessary.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"Previously, SCCM was used as an on-premise solution for clients, but now they are moving to Microsoft Intune as a cloud solution with better security and functions."
"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."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"The solution is stable."
"Hexnode UEM has in-depth support of device operating systems, which is one of the most common requirements."
"It's very easy to use."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that we can find a lost device or shut the device down and wipe it is good for HIPAA."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"MaaS can force people to lock their phones. Not everyone likes having a PIN and other security features on their phones, but this sets a requirement that you can't get your emails unless you have a PIN on your phone. That was a good feature, and we were able to easily increase the PIN from four digits to six digits. Overall, it was pretty user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"It allows us to have an updated inventory of all the devices in real-time with the ability to add personalized information."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"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."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"The interface is clunky and the layout is a bit outdated. Also, I don't think MaaS360 has as many features as Intune. It doesn't integrate with Office as seamlessly as Intune does, which isn't surprising, given that Intune and Office are Microsoft products."
 

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 tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
Information not available
"Price is something for which we are always under pressure. If we have to look at the MaaS deployment, the price definitely has to come down. This is clearly one of the areas that we will have to work on, not only as a provider to our customers but also as a consumer of this service."
"IBM products are expensive compared to the tools offered by its competitors. IBM MaaS360 is an expensive tool."
"There are other solutions cheaper than IBM MaaS360, such as Microsoft Intune."
"I rate IBM MaaS360’s pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"I feel the pricing to be very high."
"The solution is expensive."
"Fees are monthly and it's approximately $8 per user."
