Bijay Kumar Swain - PeerSpot reviewer
Ability to segregate data, well-suited for medium enterprises and installation is quick
We have some challenges. If we look at the challenges we face in the market, there are a few products like Sophos, where there are features of MaaS360, and the IBM EDR product, ReaQta. So, there are features from both ReaQta and MaaS360 available in Sophos, as well as a few other products, which we have challenges in replacing. MaaS360 definitely caters to a few of the requirements, but when someone is going for a solution, all the features are not available in MaaS360. It is like a combo, MaaS360, and IBM ReaQta, that is, EDR, ReaQta. Both of them, together as a combo plan, actually offer a very good proposition in terms of market competitors. There are a few products like Sophos and another product which have features from both endpoint detection and response and mobile device management. Because we have two different products with those features, we face challenges in proposing a particular product for the client. It is like a marketing challenge. The way other competitor products are available in the market. So it is better to have a different positive team, but, again, to remain in competition and have better scalability. So, IBM needs to integrate a few features that the competitors have in their products. No doubt, this is a different product, MaaS360. We call it MDM. We call it endpoint mobile device management. Then we call it different names that MaaS360 falls into. But when we are talking about competitor products, to remain in the competition, you need to have features that others provide. IBM surely has those features in other products, but not in MaaS360. The only challenge was replacing already existing competitor products with MaaS360. So, that’s the only area where we struggle because they always come with those requirements that they are already getting in the competitor’s product, which is not available in IBM’s MaaS360. So this product lacks some features, like Unified Endpoint Management.

A solution with a valuable terminal remediation feature and straightforward deployment
The terminal remediation feature is valuable There is a lack of flexibility. If we want to switch it on and off after three months, you can't. So there seems to be a lack of flexibility on the sales side. We have been using this solution for about eight years. It is a stable solution. It is…

The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on
I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The most valuable features are mobile device management and security (which allows you to quarantine infected devices)."
"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."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"​The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any ​support from the manufacturer.​​​"
"I like the way mobile device management works in terms of how the data is segregated, as well as the office and personal data."
"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."
"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."
"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."
"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."
"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"The solution can scale."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
 

Cons

"MaaS360 definitely caters to a few of the requirements, but when someone is going for a solution, all the features are not available in MaaS360."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"Configuring policies is difficult in IBM MaaS360. It also needs to improve usability."
"Sometimes IBM MaaS360 seems buggy...The solution's technical support team is sometimes slow to respond and not competent enough."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"The tool's stability could be better."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"The application itself individuals are getting annoyed with it. They are looking to integrate with ABB applications regardless of whether it is Android or iOS based. We are wanting to shift from this application because of the integration issues we are facing."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."
"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate IBM MaaS360’s pricing a six out of ten."
"I feel the pricing to be very high."
"The solution is expensive."
"IBM products are a little pricey."
"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."
"I rate IBM MaaS360's pricing a six out of ten."
"Fees are monthly and it's approximately $8 per user."
"There are other solutions cheaper than IBM MaaS360, such as Microsoft Intune."

"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."
"Other than the standard licensing fee, there aren't any additional or hidden costs, although I believe Avalanche could be made more affordable in general."
"Although the solution is a bit costly in my opinion, for customers who really need this solution, Ivanti Avalanche is worth it."
"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is expensive. However, for the features that are provided, the price is reasonable. There is a subscription to use the solution."

"Pricing is an area that could be improved."
"Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD."

"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"The tool is expensive."
