Absolute Control vs. IBM MaaS360

Absolute Software configurations are based on policies that can be configured una very detailed manner, which addresses different groups of endpoints. Absolute software is installed at the BIOS level, which makes the agent if the endpoint goes through OS reinstallation

Enrolling bulk devices through the Device Enrollment Program (DEP) is simple, straightforward, and quick. Multiple methods for device enrollment are available, including barcode scanning, email, and manual entry via the platform. App synchronization between Apple Business Manager (ABM) and the MaaS360 platform occurs swiftly. Additionally, app distribution and removal are efficiently managed on the platform.

• Software Resilience to automatically reinstall a required application on the endpoint if it has been removed even after fresh OS installation.
• Geolocation. Offers full visibility of endpoints related to physical location of the device in real time.
• Automation to run power shell scripts on endpoint to mitigate and remediate misconfiguration or custom configurations.

• Manage app deployment on mobile fleet of devices
• Manage all mobile devices and know where your fleet of devices are
• Solve simple issues like reset screen lock passcodes
• Protects company’s intellectual property
• Allows for easy deployment of mobile devices to remote users

• Reports are not simple to generate.
• Removal of Absolute application itself on decommissioned devices is complex and not managed by customer. Need to open a request with Absolute support.
• Being able to completely remove Absolute software on retires endpoints could be really helpful.

• MaaS360 with Watson has a lot of features and capabilities, which can sometimes make it difficult for us to navigate. Improving the user interface and making it friendly could help make the platform easier to use.
• Expanding integrations with other systems to provide better support for a wider range of systems and platforms.

I'll gave it a 10, because we have not come across any negative point with MaaS360. In a real comparison with other UEMs / MDMs you will find out that other providers that claim to be "free" or "included" don't have the capeabilities that MaaS360 has. Some features are just not available and others would require you to pay for them. In that case the product would not be "free" anymore.

From set up and configuration, reporting, endpoint protection. Software resilience, and assets visibility. Absolute software offers the best solution to address above mentions points

Having years of experience with MDM and experiencing the evolution of the granularity of the functionality MDM's have had to evolve, no MDM is ever "easy" to use. MaaS360 rises to the top however, because zero day changes are always ahead of the competition. A huge benefit with MaaS360 and IBM's approach to supporting these changes is that they seldom change configuration work flows. Competing Vendors always arbitrarily change workflows which requires a significnat ongoing learning curve in order to maintain technical competence

MaaS360's phone support has been decent the few times I have used it. In addition the person who on-boarded us has been available for additional questions after the process was over. However IBM could do a much better job in creating a user-friendly search engine and white-paper database to help people find topics. Right now finding info is more based on searching through white papers themselves.

The resources made available to me by IBM were Stellar. These resources remain available today and are extremely important as technology changes

To implement IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson, follow these steps: Set up the platform, enroll devices, configure policies and settings, monitor and manage devices. Implementing it can help organizations to securely manage and monitor the use of mobile devices and related resources in their networks, improving security and productivity for their users.

Ease of use and management of mobile devices are easier and has protection against the Cyber threats. The security controls implementation on our devices are perfect and in one place. I love the responsiveness and prosctivenes of the support. Seamless integration with all security devices. The ability to wipe and control days remotely is perfect easy to control all our company information by locking down lost and stolen devices.
