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.

Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS

Efficient patch and asset management with room for reporting enhancements

One of the best things about Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that the agents it uses are very lightweight, so they don’t slow down our systems. It also gives us great visibility during deployments—we can see exactly what’s happening and collect all the necessary data. The system shows us codes that help us understand what’s going on in each environment. For example, every month we roll out patches, and monitoring is a big part of that. We can check the status of each machine without having to log into them individually. It also helps us troubleshoot issues by showing the exact error codes, which makes fixing problems much easier. Ivanti also lets us organize our servers and devices in a way that makes sense for us—by operating system, group, or IP address. This helps us manage everything more efficiently. Patching is one of our main tasks, and Ivanti gives us detailed information about each patch. Another great part is the training and support Ivanti offers. The training helps us learn how to use all the features, and the support team is always there when we need help. Since we work in a large environment, Ivanti is a great fit—it’s built to handle big setups and makes it easy to group and manage everything. We even use it to deploy our own in-house apps, not just third-party software.

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

"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."

"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."

"Easy to use."

"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."

"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."

"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."

"It's easy to manage."

"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The product saves time and money."

"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."

"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."

"The best features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager are that the agents are very light, and the deployment monitoring is very good."

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10."

"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."

"The solution was easy to deploy."

"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."

"The most valuable features of VMware Workspace ONE are security and having support for all the latest features that are coming out from Apple. They're pretty fast at adopting new features. This is one of the most vital aspects of mobile device management systems."

"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."

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

"I found the initial setup to be easy."

"Workspace ONE has something like an orchestrator model that allows me to configure a set of steps to onboard new PCs, laptops, or tablets. So, it makes my work easy."

"It seems highly stable and scalable."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."

"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."

"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."

"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."

"To make it a perfect ten, it would be helpful if there was a better way to troubleshoot user issues, as I've had a few users with corrupt files before and had to redeploy it without knowing the root cause."

"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."

"The security aspect could be more effective. We are using other applications to manage network devices and groups, so if Microsoft Intune could improve in this area, especially on a network level, it would be a real advantage."

"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities. Improvements should be made in terms of MDM platforms for other devices."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."

"The reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."

"When it comes to the reporting part, it needs to be improved. The executive reports and the deployment reports can be more improvised."

"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."

"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."

"The application itself individuals are getting annoyed with it. They are looking to integrate with ABB applications regardless of whether it is Android or iOS based. We are wanting to shift from this application because of the integration issues we are facing."

"It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."

"Cost of licensing is quite high."

"Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit. They have kept too many products as add ons. These need to be bundled with the low-cost, standard version. This will help customers in adopting this technology at a faster pace."

"We'd like the customization to be better."

"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."

"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."

"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

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."

"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."

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

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."

"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."

"The price is very reasonable."

"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

Information not available

"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."

"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."

"We pay approximately $6.50 per user for the standard version. If you are paying for an enterprise license that includes VDI then it will cost approximately $25 per user on a monthly basis."

"You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."

"It's definitely a bit on the expensive side. It is more for smaller organizations and not large, massive enterprises. I am not sure about any additional costs. As far as we could tell, the billing was what the billing was."

"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."

"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."

"The solution is more expensive than Intune."

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."
