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.

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

"When managing a large number of devices in an organization, it becomes easy to handle them on one platform using Microsoft Intune."

"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."

"Microsoft Intune simplifies device management by replacing the traditional method of installing OS, joining a domain, and configuring everything manually."

"Microsoft Intune is unique in providing management for all operating systems, including macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS."

"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."

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

"I appreciate Intune's autopilot feature, which allows us to enroll devices and install applications to meet corporate requirements seamlessly."

"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."

More Microsoft Intune pros

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

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

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

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

"The company provides great customer service."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

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

"The solution is stable."

"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."

"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."

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

"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."

"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."

"It was easy to use."

"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."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."

"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."

"When pushing anything from Microsoft Intune, the sync timing is 48 hours. While sometimes it takes 5 to 10 minutes, the official period given by Microsoft is within 48 hours, which can be time-consuming for policies, applications, or patches."

"Intune could add more features that are relevant to the core application control functions. For example, it would be helpful if it had more control over the on-prem environment from the cloud platform. Greater Teams availability in the Saudi market would also be helpful."

"Microsoft Intune has potential for improvement; I would like to see a lot more customization in the reporting tools."

"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."

"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."

"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

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

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

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

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

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"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."

"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."

"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."

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

"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."

"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."

"The pricing could always be better."

"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."

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

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."

"It's affordable. In comparison to the competitors, the price depends on what features you need from Intune, but it's affordable. There are no hidden costs, but there are some features that go for a premium price. Those are the add-ons for which you have to pay extra."

"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."

"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."

"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."

"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."

"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."

"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"It's an expensive tool."

"Pricing is an area that could be improved."

"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."

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

"We've purchased various licenses for VMware Workspace ONE, including premium and gold tiers. These licenses include security measures and support for managing telecom expenses like data and voice usage."

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

"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."

"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."
