Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.
Joel Amate - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on
I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features of Microsoft Intune that I appreciate the most are its user-friendly interface and robust security options."
"Autopilot is a feature I really like."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."
"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."
"We've found the solution to be easy to use."
"People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"It was easy to use."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
 

Cons

"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"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 support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."
"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."
"I find the price for Microsoft Intune too high, which represents an area for improvement in Microsoft's pricing model."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"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."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"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."
Information not available
"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."
"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."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"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."
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
