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.

Feature-rich, easy to use, and has responsive technical support

We are working on the proof of concept for both MobileIron and Workspace ONE. We are only testing MobileIron and Workspace ONE. After that, we will decide which device to use. Workspace ONE by VMware Similarly, we will use MobileIron as a mobile device management tool, allowing us to manage our endpoints remotely. So far, we have not had any issues with VMware, and we have resolved some, if not all, of the issues. I have been testing with VMware Workspace ONE for the same amount of time as MobileIron UEM, three weeks. We are using the latest version, and it is deployed on a public cloud. The cloud provider is VMware. I have also been working with Google Chrome. Google Workspace is an email production tool provided by Google. We don't have a firewall because we're in the cloud right now. We have no on-premises network and all of our systems are hosted in the cloud.

Trainer/Consultant at Koenig Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

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

"Since implementing this solution, our company has grown substantially, and our talent pool has significantly expanded."

"Microsoft Intune's autopilot has been nice to have."

"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."

"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."

"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."

"Microsoft Intune has helped us by improving our security posture, leading to fewer security problems, and helping us understand where we have issues."

"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."

"The security compliance capabilities make it widely adopted across organizations."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The company provides great customer service."

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

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

"The user interface is user-friendly."

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

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

"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."

"The Workspace ONE UEM interface is very easy to understand; there are not many doubts regarding configuration and providing use cases, so it's good."

"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."

"A very easy to use solution."

"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."

"The solution's single plane of glass approach is beneficial. The endpoint management is very good and specific. One of their competitors is Intune, and you have leaks from other services within the Microsoft ecosystem."

"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."

"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"Some enrollment features could be improved."

"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."

"From an end-user perspective of Microsoft Intune, I haven't experienced any challenges since installation. However, some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."

"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."

"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."

"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."

"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."

"I rate Microsoft support between six to eight. The support often involves third parties hired by Microsoft who are knowledgeable, but sometimes the help I receive is not adequate."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

"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 MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."

"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."

"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."

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

"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."

"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."

"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."

"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."

"The solution needs to adapt to the cloud based reality of the current world model. Some customers may have reluctance to this, but it is the next level for all of the big providers. Azure, AWS and Google are all on the forefront of cloud-based solutions."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."

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

"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."

"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."

"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."

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

"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"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."

"Our organization has stopped using the solution because it was expensive."

"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."

"Its pricing was okay for our company."

"The pricing currently is higher than the competition."

"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."

"We pay approximately thirty to thirty-five euros per device per month for the complete suite, and this is a fixed cost with one, three, or five-year licensing in advance. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, making it affordable."

"For big users, it's around $500."

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."
