BlackBerry UEM vs. ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus

BlackBerry UEM is well-suited if you are looking for an all-in-one mobile security management platform. From the initial rollout and install of the software onto a device, to the deactivation and removal off the network, it works well and is easy to maintain. The one area where it could still use improvement is working with iOS devices, due to the non-native app functionality.

An amazing solution for an organisation of up to 25 devices as they offer a free subscription. You could use this to trial the product at your organisation. The perfect fit for any size of organisation with the software being simple enough for non-technical staff to be able to deploy and manage devices.

• Separates your mobile device into a personal and work environments
• It does not allow corporate data to be accessed by social media or other 3rd party apps like Facebook and WhatsApp unless specified.
• It allows a company to securely expand the services offered within its network to mobile devices.

• Integration with our user system (Windows Active Directory/Azure).
• An amazing feature which automatically syncs users from our central source so we don't have to do this manually, reducing errors and automating the staff onboarding experience. This also allows groups which we can use to target devices / profiles.
• Remote control of devices.
• Being able to remotely screen share and take control of devices allowed us to instantly respond and resolve issues with settings/apps on our users devices without having to bring the devices into the office allowing a quicker resolution of problem and minimising impact to business.
• Simple Setup
• The configuration of devices through profiles is incredibly easy to do, yet flexible with numerous options we can enable. The best feature ultimately is the simplicity. You just select the options you want without having to select 10 other required settings.
• Responsive support.
• On a few occasions we had some issues (down to user error) we were able to joing live chat with support and within a matter of minutes they were able to show us where we went wrong before anyone noticed the mistake.

• Licensing costs could be streamlined and easier to manage
• Functionality could be improved with iOS devices

• Documents are sorted by some random order by default, users need to manually select "sort by A-Z", and even by doing so, coming out of documents and back in will reset the order to the random one. Would be amazing if A-Z was default, or if I could find out what this default order was to edit the files accordingly.
• Playing audio files from the app is approached as if it was a video: if you come out of the app or lock the screen, the audio will stop. Would be great if it could act like music apps and keep playing with locked screen.

If given a choice, I would like to access office emails directly using Microsoft Exchange. Entering login passwords every five minutes seems painful and syncing of emails is not done in real time.

We would be very likely to renew unless there were unforeseen changes to our budget.

The ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus overall usability is very good. So far, they provided all functionalities that we need to manage mobile devices and also applications deployment and security.

If you have a serious issue with your on-premise installation, access to support can take a bit to get someone on the phone, and it can take some time to rectify, given the complexity of the software. In my experience, the support team does get you back up and running in critical scenarios, but you more than likely will be on some marathon calls, unless it is a very simple and known issue.

When I compared Black BerryUEM (formerly Good) with MaaS360 and AirWatch at the time, BlackBerry UEM (formerly Good) offered better integration into the network as well as better mobile clients to execute work. Access to 3rd party apps that can be used e.g., ability to synchronize and edit notes. This, however, may have changed in recent years.
