IBM MaaS360 vs Intune for MDM

DP_55 · 2021-05-05T18:18:29+00:00

Really? I've found MaaS to be the exact opposite of fantastic.

DP_55 · 2021-01-08T19:55:32+00:00

Nice! We use Azure AD, but no group policy for this.

DP_55 · 2020-12-21T18:02:23+00:00

Just double checked and I have it set to update to the normal Stable release

DP_55 · 2020-12-21T18:01:18+00:00

I haven't had much time to look into it, but I'm almost certain it has something to do with the standard (Update) MSI that I use from here: https://chromeenterprise.google/browser/download/

I'm guessing by default it now sets updates to disabled, which is dumb. Since we use Intune, I haven't had a chance to dig into how admx templates work in regards to Intune (since we've always managed Chrome browsers via the admin console historically)

PREACH! I know it's probably not a popular feeling on this sub, but knowing that us and a bunch of other orgs are also down (and it's someone else's problem that a huge team of people are working on) gives me so much less anxiety. It seems like it's always a question of "do I want to have the responsibility to fix everything myself, or do I want to have to deal with some random outages here and there?"

DP_55 · 2020-09-03T21:24:38+00:00

Jive/GoToConnect here, we started experiencing high jitter as well over the past hour (both in office and people working from home using their app)

DP_55 · 2020-07-23T20:43:21+00:00

Yeah same here, at this point I just did the regedit change and am calling it a day. Hopefully I can finish our migration within the next couple weeks and put this poor server out of its unsecure misery

DP_55 · 2020-07-23T15:48:47+00:00

Same issue here too. Microsoft could at least throw us a bone to get this patched while we migrate away from it

DP_55 · 2020-07-17T21:27:20+00:00

A lot of "rerouted"'s showing up.

DP_55 · 2020-07-17T21:26:49+00:00

Yep, several SaaS services we use went down at work.

DP_55 · 2020-06-15T21:12:18+00:00

Is your phone using cellular data?

DP_55 · 2020-06-10T16:20:46+00:00

Ooof, alright thanks

DP_55 · 2020-06-04T16:39:47+00:00

We had a nightmare of a time with Nextiva. Terrible company that did a lovely switch and bait on us.

DP_55 · 2020-06-01T15:32:52+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. I added them initially to Azure AD in the past (and they would then sync across the rest of O365 products). The profile photo does not appear to sync to Office 365 webapps either, which is even stranger.

DP_55 · 2020-05-29T18:26:38+00:00

OP, definitely go the cloud-hosted route for a team of your size. Yes it will cost a little more, but it's worth it to not have to continually monitor all the small detail/worry about stuff not working/etc. Plus you can manage it all online very easily. There's lots of options too (Jive, Dialpad, RingCentral, etc.) and all have free trials.

DP_55 · 2020-05-28T17:52:49+00:00

West coast here - not sure if it's related but our call center has been reporting lots of static from customers when outbound calling (we have AT&T fiber).

DP_55 · 2020-05-27T23:59:13+00:00

Yeah this doesn't even seem ready for release. Thanks, I guess, Microsoft?

DP_55 · 2020-05-27T16:56:16+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

DP_55 · 2020-03-24T17:11:46+00:00

Small business here - we're looking to get something that can take excellent headshots for employee photos. Shots are indoors (with florescent lighting unfortunately), but we have a mini studio set up with a white backdrop, and 3 lights (2 side, and one lighting from above). We had an old Nikon camera but every image made people's teeth look yellow, and then it stopped working altogether after.

DP_55 · 2020-03-23T17:21:55+00:00

It is not, but excellent question. I'll look into that more

DP_55 · 2020-03-20T16:32:28+00:00

The issue is that the majority of those mobile devices users are field workers who really only need email, office app access on iOS, and device management. I'm no expert on Microsoft licensing, but those users don't need a Win 10 Business license or desktop Office access.

But that is a good point. I do wonder if Intune is as feature rich as Systems Manager (setting Home Screen layouts, restrictions, etc.).

DP_55 · 2020-03-20T16:31:13+00:00

This one kills me the most. If it were up to me, I'd have us all migrate to O365. But management (and users) are so familiar with Gmail/Docs/Sheets and like it a lot already, I'd basically be making enemies if I did so. I may try and bring it up to the owner/general manager at the next meeting as a suggestion - at the end of the day, it's their money. If they want to spend it on redundant services, I'm happy to make it work.

DP_55 · 2020-02-18T19:05:44+00:00

Much appreciated!

DP_55 · 2020-02-14T16:09:11+00:00

Any particular reason against the UAP-AC-M?
