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.

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.

Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I appreciate how easy it is to deploy certificates to end users to get control over their device with Microsoft Intune; that's what Microsoft Intune is known for, and that's what we use them for."
"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."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible."
"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices. We can ship devices globally, and users can set them up on their own. It's convenient."
"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"Allowed our organization to securely implement BYOD, increasing the employee satisfaction and productivity."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"I think this is a great tool for any field service support team; it's easy to deploy on devices and support to end users."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are remote control and setting up a phone."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft. There are a few things I can still do with Jamf that I am unable to do with Intune yet."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"Possibly a notification if a device is wiped and no longer has the security policy on the phone. The product can also install the certificates on the phone in a 'smoother' way."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"There is a glaring security flaw where users can wipe their phones and they still show compliant in Maas360."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"The product is expensive."
"IBM products are a little pricey."
"There are other solutions cheaper than IBM MaaS360, such as Microsoft Intune."
"The licensing structure is broken down into levels, each with different functionalities available. Depending on your license, there may be additional fees for extra features."
"IBM products are expensive compared to the tools offered by its competitors. IBM MaaS360 is an expensive tool."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"MaaS360 is priced at a balance. It is not as expensive as AirWatch or Jamf and is not a cheap solution like a few of the local products."
"IBM MaaS360 is cheaper compared to other alternatives. Others are at least three to six times costlier."
"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."
