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.

Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged

The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

Effective product tracking and monitoring enhances daily operations despite needing documentation improvement

The documentation part of Workspace ONE UEM can be confusing. The documentation is not comprehensive compared to other VMware solutions or Microsoft documentation. Most people struggle to connect the dots when looking at the documentation. Even the training material and PowerPoint slide decks that trainers use are sometimes too confusing or overwhelming, with too much content but not enough clarity. The support side has recently become weaker compared to what it used to be with VMware. This is another area that needs improvement. Since working with Workspace ONE UEM from when it was AirWatch, it has improved significantly over the last five years. However, there are still some gray areas and scope for improvement, especially in documentation and workflow between different aspects of the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."

"Microsoft Intune brings all endpoint and security management tools into one place, and for app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating, it's reliable."

"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."

"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."

"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."

"Microsoft Intune helps us avoid issuing everyone company-owned devices. We provide a stipend, allowing users to bring their own devices. This approach gives us leverage against other MSPs. It also enhances collaboration because clients already covered by specific licensing can optimize their usage of Microsoft Intune."

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

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The company provides great customer service."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process."

"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."

"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."

"The installation could be improved to be simplified."

"Not all technicians are knowledgeable of the Microsoft solution, so they have to work on that as well."

"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."

"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."

"The technical support by Microsoft is not so good. We have to manage many things by ourselves and do not receive responses in a timely manner."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

"Setup is not too complex."

"VMware Workspace ONE sometimes has bugs that prevent it from working as intended or expected. Generally, these bugs can lead to unexpected results and hinder effectiveness."

"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."

"The initial setup should be simplified."

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

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

"The product's stability for certain instances needs improvement."

"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."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."

"The price is very reasonable."

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

"It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us."

"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."

"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."

"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"If you have a host of custom requirements (including licensing), make sure to set aside enough time for the initial setup because it can take up to a few weeks depending on how complex your environment is."

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

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

"I think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable."

"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."

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

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."
