Microsoft Enterprise Mobility and Security Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

Understand the breadth of what it does first. No matter what someone tries to sell you, it's not Apples to Apples. No other identity provider is offering exchange encryption integration, and no MDM vendor is offering intrusion detection tools. Since the product spans so many areas, it's kind of tough to evaluate, you need the security guys, mobile device support staff, and networking team - as well as whoever deals with your Microsoft licenses in the same room. If you can get the right audience like a CIO to listen for a few minutes, unless there are very unusual business needs it's usually a no brainer. Overall it's been really well received where I've deployed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm using EMS to solve a laundry list of problems with my clients.

While barely talked about from Microsoft, one of the most impactful pieces has been the Web Application Proxy. With a 4 mb download and nothing more than outbound internet access on a single server, I can securely share my internal web apps (SharePoint, OWA, SSRS, ConfigMgr reporting, and Service Manager along with various other 3rd party apps) to an iPad in a few minutes with Single Sign On. No VPN or swiss cheese firewalls required. Given that it replaces the need for expensive (6 figures) reverse proxy appliances in that situation, that's huge.

Being early on the Advanced Threat Analytics train, I also can finally answer the old question of "How would you know you've been hacked?" with some confidence. In some early proof of concept deployments, we immediately detected some schedules tasks that were sending sensitive accounts in the clear - we'd have had no idea otherwise that this was happening. Given the expense of other SEIM tools, this more or less came along for the ride. It does seem to answer different questions than some of the other tools out there though, so I consider it more of an enhanced surface area than a direct replacement for other event monitoring tools.

We've also set up automatic RMS encryption of emails based on subject line or who sent it as well as automatic protection of SharePoint libraries, so that as soon as a user uploads the files, it's automatically audited and encrypted just incase it is ever saved outside of where we want it.

In other places, EMS has been a direct replacement for existing MDM/SSO products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use and can be quickly learned. It works wonders at the office and the projects I have done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have created a bunch of spreadsheets that benefited the company on monitoring and saving the company's money based off what I used on this product. It was very beneficial at the work place and a lot of my co-workers would love to get on board and start using it themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Try it out and if it fulfills your requirements I believe it is a good option to consider. Some of our requirements were a little bit more advanced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compare the cost of other similar systems to really ensure this will fit your needs and you will be happier once purchase is made - wont feel like you are overpaying if you know what the competition has to offer at their own cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
