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.

Straightforward initial setup, it took less than a week to get everybody up and running
We are using the latest version of this solution. My primary use case is for mobile device protection The middleman protection and the WiFi protection are the most valuable features.  General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time so reporting could be improved,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like Intune's Autopilot functionality, which enables one-touch deployment. Dynamic grouping is another feature we find valuable working in academia. We have people in buckets based on their roles in the university, such as faculty, staff, alum, or grad. Sometimes, they will fit into multiple places, and dynamic grouping helps with that."
"It is a cloud solution, and you can easily scale as your needs grow."
"Microsoft Intune is a cloud solution and we can manage everything, including Azure AD, Intune, and not only mobile hand devices, such as iOS or Android, but with the main focus on workstations, which is what makes the solution powerful."
"It's really easy to access."
"Intune's most valuable features are its device management capabilities, particularly its centralized integration with other Microsoft stack components."
"Implementing Microsoft Intune has provided a more streamlined and consistent method for device management across our multiple domains, effectively consolidating our administrative efforts."
"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."
"On the cloud, you can manage everything; you can push policies, maintain patches, and maintain security because everything interacts on the cloud and a VPN is not required."
"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"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."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"Every new device was configured manually, it used to require about 20 minutes of engineer attention, now it's about three minutes."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"You will be surprised at the possibilities, the flexibility and the opportunities within MaaS360."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"One drawback of Intune is that we cannot find devices based on a user's region or location."
"Back in 2020, there were significant problems with report accuracy, particularly regarding web patching."
"Customer service used to be better, but as we are nearing the end of the contract, the focus on investing in us as a customer has diminished. It is what one would expect in such a situation."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"The support is not very good. It's very poor."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"Local technical support would be helpful."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"Sometimes I would like to have local support because a company that provides 24/7 support means that the technical support staff are not always fluent English speakers."
"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."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"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."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate IBM MaaS360’s pricing a six out of ten."
"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 a little pricey."
"I feel the pricing to be very high."
"​It requires zero investment in infrastructure since it is 100% cloud.​"
"IBM MaaS360 is cheaper compared to other alternatives. Others are at least three to six times costlier."
"I rate IBM MaaS360's pricing a six out of ten."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
