Mobile device management (MDM) gives IT leaders the ability to carefully manage and secure complex fleets of mobile devices. For the organization to be secure, its laptops, tablets, and mobile phones need to meet stringent security requirements. Robust, full-featured MDM platforms make that possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both ManageEngine and Microsoft are popular MDM vendors<\/a>, but for different reasons. This article is going to cover some of the unique features that distinguish these options from one another, and show how alternatives like JumpCloud may be the right choice for growth-friendly, cloud-native organizations. Read on to find out which MDM platform is the best choice for your use case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ManageEngine provides a comprehensive suite of tools for mobile device management through a series of software packages. Both its Mobile Device Manager Plus<\/a> and Endpoint Central <\/a>packages offer device management feature sets, and it also offers additional options for solutions like endpoint security, firewall configuration, and more through its point solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the key features of Mobile Device Manager Plus include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Endpoint Central offers similar MDM features bundled together with additional tools for patch management, vulnerability management, and asset management<\/a> for a more unified endpoint management (UEM)<\/a> approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft Intune is a complete and integrated mobile device management solution designed to fit into enterprise environments that already rely on Microsoft technology. Microsoft includes Intune as part of its Microsoft 365 SKUs, so it\u2019s already accessible for a significant number of Windows customers \u2014 especially enterprise-level organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of the reasons why IT decision-makers choose Microsoft Intune:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both solutions have strong points and drawbacks that may influence IT decision-makers when considering their MDM capabilities. The main difference between ManageEngine and Intune is the availability of extra features and growth-friendly scalability. ManageEngine\u2019s products are siloed against one another and must be integrated piecemeal, while Microsoft can provide an enterprise with its entire end-to-end IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ManageEngine\u2019s pricing tiers include a full-featured 30-day free trial and a free basic subscription that comes with some limitations. Microsoft offers multiple pricing options for Intune depending on the customer\u2019s license requirements and how many other Microsoft services are bundled alongside. These can quickly add up to a very expensive enterprise IT implementation that goes well beyond mobile device management<\/a> with more compliance and security services.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOverview of ManageEngine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
