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.

Review about BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite

For the purpose of better performance is we have some applications, internal applications, that work on document but when we did integration with BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise, yeah. I think that we failed. We failed on that integration. We cannot integrate that BlackBerry Edit. BlackBerry Edit has issues for editing any document. We have other internal applications that can bring or field documents but cannot edit into BlackBerry Edit. There's room for improvement with editing documents. When I was the [inaudible 00:09:48] for BlackBerry Enterprise, maybe they need to create... I'm so sorry. Because for month or once on a month, I need to delete database or some database logs from BlackBerry that use much [crosstalk 00:10:09]- I think the database slow because the BlackBerry Enterprise, it have database that put inside SQL Server, so every month I need to check the hard disk if it is sufficient to handle the database files or not. Every month, I need to check hard disk, so if it's not sufficient or it's already full, I need to delete some logs. I think on the UEM server, they can keep the database or hard disk performance, like approval. So from the UEM server, we can delete any file that is not used anymore. Yeah, something like that, I think.

Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged

The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."

"Easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."

"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."

"Microsoft Intune brings all endpoint and security management tools into one place, and for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating, it's reliable."

"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."

"One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch."

"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."

"It gives us the ability to have a container and the most secure possible application."

"Every version upgrade has been straightforward."

"It keeps things secure, it can remotely wipe the container and it's fairly easy to use."

"It allows me to be able to access my email when I do not necessarily have my computer with me. I can also access my calendar when I am on public transport or outside of the office."

"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."

"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."

"The technical support for the solution is excellent."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

"The company provides great customer service."

"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

Cons

"I have experienced downtime, bugs, and glitches. I rate it a seven because when we have bugs or instability in Microsoft Intune, we need to wait for the backend from Microsoft Intune to resolve issues and we can't deliver solutions to clients because we need to wait for action plans and related processes."

"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."

"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."

"The reporting part needs improvement, and it would be beneficial if it could integrate with third-party tools instead of just Power BI."

"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."

"The configuration and pricing can be improved."

"Policy and app deployment should be faster, as it currently takes between minutes to hours to apply, with an average of one hour."

"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."

"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that. The fact that it breaks on some end-users' devices is also a concern and just the frequency and complexity of upgrades is not ideal."

"I would like to see better integration with our AD. Instead of having to use Active Directory groups, we'd like to use Active Directory attributes instead. There is a lot of overhead in managing. Whereas, if we could key on something tied to HR, or some other feed indicating who they are or what role they have, and manage them that way, that would be much preferable than having to manage people with Active Directory groups. Because, if people move roles, then we have to make sure that we move them from one Active Directory group to another, which is hands-on, a lot of overhead."

"It would be nice if there was an easier way for team members to get onboarded in regards to what they have to do on the device. There are some programs like Apple DEP and Samsung Knox. Unfortunately, with these programs, to get existing users onto them, you have to factory wipe your device. If it did not have the DEP capabilities, it would be nicer if it did not have so many steps to go through. That is our biggest complaint from team members. It has too many steps."

"I know for the BlackBerry Connect, our users want to see more features, such as audio and video. I know the current version doesn't have that."

"The console needs improvement. It does not provide all the information that we are looking for as far as who has installed a certain product."

"I would like more support for Google Chromebook operating system, so I could manage it."

"The interface could be improved."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."

"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."

"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."

"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."

"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."

"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."

"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."

"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."

"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pricing and cost advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
