How was the initial setup?

My advice to others looking into using IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson would be to invest time in proper planning and tuning during the initial setup. The platform is very powerful, but it delivers the most value when your sources are well-integrated and your use cases are clearly defined. Focus on a good setup.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson is that it's enterprise-grade and relatively expensive with a complex license based on data volume, but it offers strong security value in return.

What other advice do I have?

We use Microsoft Azure as the cloud provider for our hybrid deployment of IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson.

Regarding IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson's AI capabilities, it has strong access control and auditability, but could improve transparency and customization of AI decisions.

The AI capabilities of IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson are generally accurate and reliable, especially when it comes to correlating events and prioritizing alerts. It's reliable for alerts and prioritization, but accuracy depends on the data quality and tuning, with some false positives.

Unified endpoint policies have secured mobile data and prevent insider threats across devices
Pros and Cons
  • "IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson includes both basic and advanced capabilities of a complete MDM or UEM solution and allows for policy customization to optimize results."

    What is our primary use case?

    IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson is primarily used by clients to block data sharing on employees' mobile phones because confidential company data is stored on these devices, and companies want to restrict sharing, screenshots, and recording. The overall goal is to block any data sharing and prevent insider threats, with companies typically preferring a cloud-based solution that manages all mobile devices, laptops, and endpoints.

    A specific example of how clients use IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson to block data sharing or prevent insider threats involves the use of policies within IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson. By simply enabling these policies on a mobile device, clients can effectively block data sharing.

    Clients also use IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson as an endpoint management solution, which integrates and enrolls with Windows systems as well as other platforms beyond just Android and iOS, allowing patch management and a comprehensive unified endpoint management system. It has a vast array of use cases, including screenshot blocking, geolocation, and more, along with customization and integration with third-party platforms such as SIEM and ServiceNow, making it a complete solution backed by IBM.

    What is most valuable?

    IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson offers several best features, including the separation of work and personal profiles, which ensures that work-related information such as emails and documents is contained within a work profile, while personal data remains private, preventing any overlap. Additionally, it provides granular monitoring capabilities that block and restrict numerous activities, and a partnership with TeamViewer for quick remote access. There is also the remote wipe feature, which allows me to erase data from any device remotely when necessary.

    While all the features are equally important, the separation of work and personal profiles stands out because many organizations do not provide mobile phones when employees start, leading to the BYOD (bring your own device) method. This ensures that company data is kept separate and secure within its own container.

    IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson includes both basic and advanced capabilities of a complete MDM or UEM solution and allows for policy customization to optimize results. IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson positively impacts my organization, especially across various sectors such as finance, telecom, and healthcare, with numerous client success stories showcasing their satisfaction with the solution I have implemented.

    What needs improvement?

    IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson can be improved by allowing more customization in the policies, as there are some limitations to deep customization. While the solution is robust and comprehensive, slightly enhanced customization options would further benefit users.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson for two years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Although IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson is not primarily used for output, its accuracy and reliability regarding data restriction and policy enforcement are excellent, as it operates in real-time without delays.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson is easily scalable; regardless of how many users or devices need to be enrolled, I can simply specify the requirements and purchase additional licenses as necessary.

    How are customer service and support?

    Customer support for IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson is one of the best, offering 24/7 assistance, and they effectively resolve issues in real-time.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I did not previously use a different solution before working with IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson.

    Before choosing IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson, I evaluated other options, including Samsung Knox and Microsoft Intune. However, both solutions had issues, with Samsung Knox favoring Samsung devices and lacking functionality for iOS, while Microsoft Intune was less effective for iOS and quite expensive compared to IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson, which provides greater value.

    What was our ROI?

    Specific outcomes and metrics that show how IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson has helped my clients include reduced data leaks, improved compliance, and significant time savings in managing devices. Clients report that they now effectively manage employees, block and restrict data sharing, and monitor unauthorized activities on devices, which increases their overall visibility and security.
