A stable and scalable solution with an easy setup
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is quite stable."
  • "The price could be lower."

What is our primary use case?

I am using the latest version.

What is most valuable?

For the moment, we utilize the solution solely for iPads, although we also meet the requirements to satisfy our desire to use it for laptops. There are plans for its use with BYOD and for Intunes. The feasibility and cost per user is worthy of examination. 

What needs improvement?

Overall, the solution is good, although I have not conducted a detailed examination of it. This said, I feel the pricing to be very high.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using IBM MaaS360 for a long time, probably five or six years.

The solution is quite stable.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support is okay. 

How was the initial setup?

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price could be lower. It is excessively high. 

What other advice do I have?

While the solution is currently deployed on-premises, we have plans to move to the cloud, which is why we plan to go with Intune. 

We have a partnership with the vendors. 

While I feel the solution to be fine, better ones do exist, Intunes, for examples, which, features aside, is quite similar. 

I rate IBM MaaS360 as an eight out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Provides good security, but features for laptop management could be improved
Pros and Cons
  • "Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."

    What is most valuable?

    Currently, we use the Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management. We distribute mobile phones to people starting in our company and we use these features of Maas360 for management. Our employees use the secure email. Maas360 also supports BYOD.

    What needs improvement?

    Regarding laptop management, some features are not right. IBM needs to improve the features for the laptop.

    It also needs a feature to restrict USBs.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    Three to five years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    No issues with stability.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It's definitely scalable.

    How is customer service and technical support?

    IBM support has not been that helpful. I have contacted chat support but they could not give a useful answer. Sometimes, we have to solve problems by ourselves. Sometimes we find the documents we need in IBM PartnerWorld, but the chat help staff is not able to give helpful information.

    How was the initial setup?

    The setup is easy to do, for me. It's not complex.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    When compared with competitors, I think the pricing is okay.

    What other advice do I have?

    For security, it is good. But at times it's quite slow, like when I access through the portal. And when we change policies, sometimes that takes a long time.
