Symphony Messaging Intune holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.7.

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.
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.
