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.

Helpful technical support, and performs well, but initial setup could be simplified

They are constantly improving the scalability of BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite. More collaborative features are being developed. I know they have integrations with a lot of other vendors and applications, and it's constantly growing. Our company has approximately 3,000 users. I would say we have ten people for actual administrative roles with Blackberry.

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 Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."

"Mobile device management is most valuable."

"My favorite feature of Microsoft Intune is the dashboard; the dashboard is very simple and user-friendly, and any person, even without prior knowledge, can understand it easily by seeing the interface dashboard."

"It's easy to manage."

"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."

"Maturity makes it a stable product."

"The best feature of Microsoft Intune is that it managed the endpoints."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable. Having access to your emails in a secure way is one of the most important features of this solution. Blackberry ensures data security, and as a user, I can use it while on roaming or wherever I am."

"Every version upgrade has been straightforward."

"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."

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

"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."

"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."

"There is very high flexibility for different setups of single users, so it can give a single use many different device types with different enrollment types."

"Whenever we have issues, people rely on the ability to check messages promptly."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"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 user interface is user-friendly."

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

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

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

Cons

"There should be more predictability in the release cycle. We don't feel we have any control over when new updates come out, and whether there are changes to the backend functionality or to the user interface. Updates just happen."

"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."

"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."

"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."

"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."

"The pricing could be improved."

"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."

"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."

"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."

"The entry level support needs improvement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that we do not have premium support. Therefore, we have to go through Level 1 support for any issues."

"The initial installation could be simplified."

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

"The installations on the device could be simpler. It is a good solution, and all the features are there. So, there isn't a lot to improve. I'm sure they already have their thought process on how to improve it."

"They could improve their QA. There are many times where something will be released, a new client will be released, and something gets broken. Or they do a release and they don't take into consideration how some people may be using parts of it. Even though it's supported, they release something and it breaks it because they weren't aware of it. The biggest thing for me right now is, I would like to see improvement in their QA. I'm tired of getting broken software."

"The newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

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

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

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

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

"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."

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

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."

"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."

"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."

"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."

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

"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"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."

"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 pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."

"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."

"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."

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."
