"It is customer-friendly. It is quite easy for our users to connect. There is also the flexibility of the features."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"It's easy to manage."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"We need to know how many live active users there are and we can't. We even updated the server, however, we still can't see the proper level of live connections. Right now, it's showing as 300 users and my customer does not have that many users in his organization."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve the reporting, it is lacking in detail and should take the report automatically."
"Zero test FDP (Fraud Protection and Prevention) should be improved."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve by having better integration with NAC solutions, such as Cisco ClearPass integration with Pulse Connect Secure. Additionally, they need better integration with Microsoft Azure AD and Azure Authenticator."
"Connection-wise, Pulse Connect Secure could be faster, and this is its area for improvement."
"The solution can be improved by addressing the failure to connect on public 2-step networks."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
