Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Centralized device control has improved security and streamlined daily management tasks
The best features IBM MaaS360 offers include centralized device management, policy enforcement, compliance tracking, and remote device actions. These features make managing and securing endpoints much more efficient. Another feature I appreciate about IBM MaaS360 is the visibility it provides. Being able to view device status, compliance, and security information from one console makes day-to-day management much easier. IBM MaaS360 has positively impacted my organization by improving efficiency and security across the organization. We can manage devices more efficiently, maintain compliance, and resolve issues faster. We save time for both IT teams and end users. The AI outputs from IBM MaaS360 have been reliable in our experience. They provide useful insights and recommendations that help with device management and security monitoring. Though we still review important findings before taking action.

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

"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."
"What I appreciate about Microsoft Intune is that it is easy for me to deploy software to an environment with 600 laptops."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"The best feature of Microsoft Intune is that it managed the endpoints."
"The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."
"Since the introduction of Microsoft Intune, we have had the problem completely taken care of."
"Without Microsoft Intune, it would be extremely challenging, if not impossible, for a large company to send out computers to users and have them set up and ready to use right out of the box in a remote location."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"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."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"MaaS360 helped us to have the console ready in less than 10 minutes and start enrolling devices immediately."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"The solution has made everything more convenient for us and it's now easier to identify whether something can be fixed remotely or whether it requires a physical examination on the device."
"One valuable feature is the ability to provide a secure environment. Another is the kiosk mode where MaaS360 can be used over a tablet or mobile device to ensure that a single application is used."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved by adding short video tutorials or direct links to Microsoft articles in the information button."
"The technical support by Microsoft is not so good. We have to manage many things by ourselves and do not receive responses in a timely manner."
"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Every time we call, we get bounced to a new team... there is no cohesive end-to-end support, which is very frustrating and time-consuming."
"In my additional experience with Microsoft Intune, although it is a cloud environment, it still has some flaws."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"MaaS360 definitely caters to a few of the requirements, but when someone is going for a solution, all the features are not available in MaaS360."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace. This is one of the areas of improvement that I would like to highlight. We have also observed that in the contact list, a lot of duplication is happening. A single contact is duplicated three or four times, which also consumes more memory resources. If they can work on improving it for these aspects, it will have a more positive impact not only on the way the application is being consumed by the user but also on user satisfaction. A lot of new features are being deployed or rolled out by companies that are competitors of IBM MaaS360. IBM will have to ensure that all those features are on board so that we have a complete suite of features in the platform, rather than deploying multiple diverse solutions to cater to the requirements of our customers."
"It does seem that the more devices we added, the slower the management console operates."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"Sometimes IBM MaaS360 seems buggy...The solution's technical support team is sometimes slow to respond and not competent enough."
"I would appreciate a more intuitive interface and simpler navigation in IBM MaaS360."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"I rate IBM MaaS360’s pricing a six out of ten."

"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."

"I feel the pricing to be very high."
"Fees are monthly and it's approximately $8 per user."
"IBM MaaS360 is cheaper compared to other alternatives. Others are at least three to six times costlier."
"IBM products are a little pricey."
