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.

Effective vulnerability, desktop, and patch management
We are using ManageEngine Endpoint Central primarily for desktop management. It allows us to deploy patches, manage antivirus, control endpoints like DLP, and more The most valuable feature to me is the vulnerability management. It also has effective patch management capabilities. The main issue…

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

"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"The tool's most valuable features are application, distribution, and security. It helps to block user access."
"The most valuable features are mobile device management and security (which allows you to quarantine infected devices)."
"It allows us to have an updated inventory of all the devices in real-time with the ability to add personalized information."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are remote control and setting up a phone."
"All features that we have deployed are useful. We do access office emails on our smartphones, and we have complete sync with Active Directory. Our calendar also gets synced in the MaaS360 application. We also ensure that the data from these official applications is not being misused by any of the employees. We have disabled cut, copy, paste, and all such features. It ensures that all the official data that our employees have on their smartphones is secure. Security is the paramount feature that we value in this product."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"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 initial setup is easy."
"Page management and ADA integrations are the most valuable features of ManageEngine Endpoint Central."
"The ability to patch my servers and endpoints is the most important for me. However, this feature is more pronounced in ManageEngine Desktop Central."
"What is great about the patch management solution, is that it patches OS, applications, browsers, plug-ins, and firmware updates."
"The dashboard has been very useful."
"The product works perfectly for patch management and software deployments."
"The mobile functionality is very easy."
"In terms of technical capability, it is doing very well. It is doing better than other industry products. It is at a place where we can compare it with Microsoft products. Its scalability is also good."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"IBM MaaS360 can improve the location reporter. There is a 15-minute delay and this does not allow for any usefulness."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"The product must provide more API integrations with different ERP tools."
"The reports provided by the product are an area of concern where improvements are required. The visibility provided by the reports is not very attractive."
"I would like to have the option to install the agent remotely."
"Computer imaging is powerful but breaks frequently. The reason for this breaking is not clear and requires heavy amounts of attention to keep operational. There is a lot of room for this tool to do more but the reliability of this process should be focused on first to ensure core competencies are being fixed before more features are added."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"The solution should be better at integrating with other solutions."
"Some difficulties with setup for multiple locations."
"In relation to ManageEngine Endpoint Central, ManageEngine NGAV seems to be completely useless right now."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 feel the pricing to be very high."
"I rate IBM MaaS360's pricing a six out of ten."
"​It requires zero investment in infrastructure since it is 100% cloud.​"
"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."
"The licensing structure is broken down into levels, each with different functionalities available. Depending on your license, there may be additional fees for extra features."
"Fees are monthly and it's approximately $8 per user."
"IBM products are a little pricey."
"Could provide more services on the standard license"
"The product is cheap."
"The pricing of the product is not bad compared to the other similar solutions in the market."
"The product is not expensive."
"The pricing is average."
"The product is not costly. The product is properly priced, especially for SMBs."
"I have been using the free version and am in the stage where I have to decide if I will proceed with the paid license, or instead choose another product."
"The pricing is very low, compared to other products. Compared to Intune or SCCM, it's much less. I can say it's a good product for less of a price."
