Citrix Endpoint Management vs. Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security

Malware on unmanaged and BYO devices can pose a serious risk to corporate resources. Citrix Secure Private Access provides the security controls you need to protect sensitive data—without compromising the employee experience. Monitoring access to applications creates complications for users and IT alike. Citrix Secure Private Access lets you go beyond SSO to provide adaptive authentication, without compromising the user experience.

Overall it is well suited to a mid size Enviromint with a limited staff. If you have a limited amount of time you can dedicate to solutions then having one that is by default already included in the system and can be managed well then it makes for fast integration with low overhead

• security: it allows remote wipe of a device
• compartmentalization: when xenmobile is on the device, it can setup its own client, or have a set portion of the local mail client.
• mobile support: with a web-based admin portal, no software needs to be setup on a PC to admin remotely [good for on-call techs]

• Azure AD Single Sign-On -- this is my favorite feature of EMS + Security. It is easy to setup and MS has simple instructions for most popular cloud services.
• InTune -- the changeover from the old InTune Client/Silverlight Portal has been painful, but once you get Win10 devices setup with InTune, management is a breeze.

• Free / Busy functionality would be great
• Interface changes more than I'd like
• Better calendaring interface - more like Outlook would be nice.

• Licensing - All Microsoft licensing is unclear
• Admin center organization - things are not all in an expected place
• Clear reporting

The software's usability is what we expected. We knew what our organization needed and Citrix was able to meet our needs. The ability to have the apps on a mobile device has been a great plus and Citrix seems to have really developed a software based on the every day needs of the user.

most features are pretty point and click simple. Some areas that are move detailed require some specialized training and knowledge to be able to navigate and get anything useful out of it. With some basic understanding you can gather tremendous amounts of data and have it available

Overall the support from the customer service team has been good. They are very timely and expert in resolving the tickets. They have appropriate knowledge to resolve issues in all stages to development. They were up to the point during the implementation stage of the XenMobile, all queries were answered in time to help finish the deployment. The support for last three years has been extraordinary in helping us use XenMobile effectively and efficiently.

Because of its flexible configuration, XenMobile was a much better fit for us. ZixOne was a reliable, functional MDM product but only functioned in a sandboxed environment. Despite being sandboxed, it was able to push contacts into the native app; however, it could not do the same with calendar data which was where our providers had the biggest heartburn. They could handle segregation of email but did not like having to review two separate calendar applications.

Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is better than any of the products I have used that do similar things. There is a huge convenience to all the things Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security brings together in one place. Also, the speed and streamlining nature of Intune helps with the management and set up of devices.

• It provided more safer environment to access corporate emails on personal device. This reduced costs for VPN and access control measures.
• Most features are compliant with organizational security features, this reduced costs in third party vendor softwares.
• Web based admin control portal is very efficient, there is no need to install desktop client for admin control. This saved a lot of time during initial deployment.

Incentivized

• Increased productivity, including service requests for our customers
• Reduced operational costs, and threat/risk of cyber-attacks
