Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Helpful technical support, and performs well, but initial setup could be simplified

They are constantly improving the scalability of BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite. More collaborative features are being developed. I know they have integrations with a lot of other vendors and applications, and it's constantly growing. Our company has approximately 3,000 users. I would say we have ten people for actual administrative roles with Blackberry.

A tool that needs to improve scalability but is useful to manage user

There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance, including the separation of duties of the users. In my company, we are not able to create a policy for the separation of duties of the users, so it is an area where improvement is required. The official authentication and fingerprint authentication should be part of VMware Identity Manager, and I feel these areas are currently missing. The scalability of the product needs to improve. The product should be tightly integrated with the third-party products because it's not like a customer is going to purchase all the VMware products, as they might have different solutions for different purposes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I mainly use Microsoft Intune analytics for taking that data that exists and bringing it into Power BI dashboards to make it visible to our clients, showing them all the operating systems in their environment and where the latest patches are, and then from there creating plans."

"Intune's integration with Defender and other security solutions is valuable because it offers a view into different security vulnerabilities and enables us to secure them more effectively."

"The compliance and configuration policies in Microsoft Intune are the most valuable features, saving significant time compared to manual implementation."

"The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."

"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."

"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."

"It's easy to manage."

"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"We are able to separate personal information and in the event of e breach, we are able to turn off access and/or delete this information."

"It keeps things secure, it can remotely wipe the container and it's fairly easy to use."

"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."

"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."

"It has allowed us to manage many different mobile device platforms, like Windows 10, Android, Apple, and BlackBerry 10, all through a single pane of glass."

"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."

"Every version upgrade has been straightforward."

"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."

"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is the support for multiple devices. Not only iOS, and Android, but all kinds of platforms, including VR device management. Additionally, it has a tunneling feature, which no other solution provides. Other solutions have to integrate with other tools to have this functionality, whereas VMware Workspace ONE has its own application gateway tunnel."

"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."

"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."

"The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."

"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."

"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."

"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do."

"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."

"The worst aspect is the reporting."

"The Mac integration has room for improvement."

"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."

"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."

"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."

"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."

"The initial installation could be simplified."

"I would like more support for Google Chromebook operating system, so I could manage it."

"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."

"As far as being able to remotely wipe a device, or remove it from the console, this is not simple to do. It is not a one-click motion, as it requires several steps."

"The newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."

"Second level support needs to have strong knowledge of the product."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"VMware Workspace ONE should allow certain common settings and restrictions across multiple operating systems."

"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."

"The console comes bunched together as a package and inbuilt. Its called Workspace ONE. Whenever we have an issue, we contact the service provider, and instead of a fix, we are just getting the next version of Workspace ONE."

"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."

"I would like to see technology expense management integrated into the next release. This feature would allow us to manage expenses across various workloads and services, including cloud environments and computing resources."

"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."

"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."

"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."

"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."

"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."

"Pricing can be improved."

"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."

"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."

"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."

"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."

"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."

"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."

"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."

"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."

"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pricing and cost advice

"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."

"The cost is a little bit high."

"We are paying about $145,000 a year on a three-year subscription with no ability to scale up or scale down within that class model."

"It's an expensive tool."

"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."

"The solution can be costly when the customer is dealing with multiple platforms. If a customer is only dealing with iOS, Windows, and Android then Intune is the better choice because there are free licenses."

"The license is paid annually."

"The tool is expensive."

Reviews from Real Users

Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
