Centralized device control has strengthened compliance and continuously improves risk visibility
The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all. Hexnode UEM should be flexible in its solution offering. Currently, they only have around three types of licenses or packages, and whether you use the solution or the features or not, they are already included in the suite. Some products offer an a la carte solution, so in order to compete with those products, Hexnode UEM should consider repackaging the solution with respect to the region where it is being offered. The solution offered to India might not be optimal if it is offered to the Philippines or a different country, so the offering should be on a country-by-country basis or a regional basis.

Collaborating securely across project teams has improved communication and streamlined workflows
In my view, Microsoft 365 Business has all the features, but there are some areas for improvement. One area is that the licensing structure can be confusing, especially with the different plans, so understanding each plan is somewhat difficult. When using large Excel files, such as extracting data from an SQL query and pasting it into Excel, it sometimes encounters performance issues when dealing with large files. Integration with non-Microsoft tools is sometimes limited; however, integration within the Microsoft tools is very good. It would be useful if it were possible to integrate with other tools outside of Microsoft. Managing permissions and access in SharePoint and Teams can be complex for new users, but once they become familiar with the tool, they can manage it easily. The security and permissions for new users in SharePoint and Teams can be made more intuitive for them. Additionally, the pricing structure, which involves explaining different plans, could be clearer to help users easily choose the plan they need. Improving performance when working on large Excel files would also be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"Hexnode UEM has in-depth support of device operating systems, which is one of the most common requirements."
"It's very easy to use."
"It serves its purpose, and there is nothing that I can recommend that is better."
"The most valuable aspect is that it is on the cloud and we can access it from there, which allows us access from anywhere."
"The solution allows for easy collaboration. You are able to use, for example, Excel and go online to the cloud and save your documents offline rather than on a personal hard drive. In my organization, we promote collaboration when possible and this solution does a good job at providing this functionality. The solution is always updated and we receive the latest features. Additionally, they offer many other services we do not use very much but are available, such as Power BI."
"Overall, the solution is very good, it's a stable product, quite a flexible solution, and we've found it to be easy to use, even for those who don't necessarily always use Microsoft products."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's completely transparent and extremely easy to navigate."
"The most valuable thing about Microsoft 365 is its ease of use."
"I would say Microsoft is always on the cutting edge and I feel every time when I come back to Microsoft, Outlook and all the other tool sets engaged in there, that it has always been a better experience."
"The performance is good, the solution is stable, and the product is pretty scalable, so we have a lot of documents on the solution and wouldn't want to change to another product."
 

Cons

"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 packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all."
"Most Microsoft applications are not the most user-friendly."
"Price is an area for improvement, as spending less money would always be preferable."
"The price could always be better. I live in Turkey, our economy is not very good."
"Technical support could be better. They aren't as helpful as they could be when we sometimes have to call them."
"We are in a medical device space and most of the time we use Microsoft Excel for tracking a lot of information. In certain specific industries, such as aerospace and medical, from the FDA or other regulatory points of view, the solution has to be validated."
"Tech support is not that feasible. The Microsoft team is not easily accessible."
"They can improve its price and make the way of sharing documents more secure."
"My main pain point concerns the licensing price, which could be lower."
