ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Symphony Messaging Intune holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlackBerry UEM Client has 659 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of BlackBerry UEM Client's written reviews are positive against 0% of Symphony Messaging Intune's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BlackBerry UEM Client ships an update every 3 months, Symphony Messaging Intune every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 14, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
