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.

Bulk phone setup has become more efficient while content distribution remains manageable
The main benefit of IBM MaaS360 is phone control and rollout. I acquired it because I was onboarding 15 new people, and it was more efficient to manage 15 phones from a computer than to handle each phone individually. I was able to manage what apps people were downloading with IBM MaaS360, ensuring they had what they needed. I could monitor their downloads and remove applications if necessary.

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

"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."
"It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions."
"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier."
"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."
"The tool's most valuable features are application, distribution, and security. It helps to block user access."
"​The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any ​support from the manufacturer.​​​"
"The most valuable features are mobile device management and security (which allows you to quarantine infected devices)."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"Each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."
"I switched away from Microsoft Intune because it cannot manage the MacBook very well."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"Local technical support would be helpful."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"Configuring policies is difficult in IBM MaaS360. It also needs to improve usability."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"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."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"I feel the pricing to be very high."
"IBM products are a little pricey."
"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."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"I rate IBM MaaS360's pricing a six out of ten."
"MaaS360 is priced at a balance. It is not as expensive as AirWatch or Jamf and is not a cheap solution like a few of the local products."
"I rate IBM MaaS360’s pricing a six out of ten."
