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.

We can manage all aspects of our devices from a single console, easy to scale, and quick to deploy
Intune has many benefits from the Microsoft perspective. This solution can manage Windows 10 devices, app management, and provide security solutions. We don't need to worry about our network connection, and we'll be more secure with regular security patches and compliance. Since everything will be deployed through the internet and users will log in using the internet only, the risks have been mitigated. Security updates, security patching, and the application will be targeted from Intune. The location tracker will be available to track where the device is and the user's location. The user will be restricted from accessing certain applications using compliance policies. Conditional access policies will be based on the reason why the user needs access to the application. Microsoft Intune is one of the best products in the industry for managing Windows devices. The solution has more feature restrictions. The conditional access policies also eliminate the dependency on the on-prem network for the devices. The solution also manages our security settings and a lot of other beneficial features such as Microsoft Purview which gives us the compliance portion. We can manage all aspects of our device from a single console, including M365 services. This allows us to configure data classification types, such as public, private, internal, confidential, and highly confidential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the way mobile device management works in terms of how the data is segregated, as well as the office and personal data."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that we can find a lost device or shut the device down and wipe it is good for HIPAA."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
 

Cons

"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"We opted to go with Microsoft Intune because it just seemed to be a more mature and comprehensive enterprise solution, whereas IBM MaaS360 didn't seem to have the necessary breadth to manage all of our equipment. Along with laptops, I've had some BYODs. IBM MaaS360 just didn't seem as mature in our assessment."
"The price could be lower."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace. This is one of the areas of improvement that I would like to highlight. We have also observed that in the contact list, a lot of duplication is happening. A single contact is duplicated three or four times, which also consumes more memory resources. If they can work on improving it for these aspects, it will have a more positive impact not only on the way the application is being consumed by the user but also on user satisfaction. A lot of new features are being deployed or rolled out by companies that are competitors of IBM MaaS360. IBM will have to ensure that all those features are on board so that we have a complete suite of features in the platform, rather than deploying multiple diverse solutions to cater to the requirements of our customers."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."
"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"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."
"There are other solutions cheaper than IBM MaaS360, such as Microsoft Intune."
"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."
"​It requires zero investment in infrastructure since it is 100% cloud.​"
"Fees are monthly and it's approximately $8 per user."
"IBM products are expensive compared to the tools offered by its competitors. IBM MaaS360 is an expensive tool."
Information not available
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
