Collaborations engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools

I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

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 most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."

"The security features are most definitely valuable. If I have to give an example, the lockdown features that prevent employees from configuring anything or downloading company data are valuable. We get high-quality device protection, malware protection, and information protection at the same time."

"The solution is easy to use."

"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."

"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."

"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."

"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."

"Intune's integration with Defender and other security solutions is valuable because it offers a view into different security vulnerabilities and enables us to secure them more effectively."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."

"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."

"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."

"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."

"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."

"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."

"Good at managing updates and for remote support."

More NinjaOne pros

"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."

"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."

"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."

"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."

"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."

"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."

"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."

"Good device management and good integration with third parties."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."

"The solution's app deployment needs to be improved."

"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."

"The installation could be improved to be simplified."

"Customer service is not really good. I would give it a six out of ten. The main issue is the time it takes to get someone involved who truly understands what the product does."

"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."

"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."

"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

"The network monitoring needs to be improved."

"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."

"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."

"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."

"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

More NinjaOne cons

"Cost of licensing is quite high."

"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."

"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."

"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."

"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."

"The pricing could always be better."

"The console comes bunched together as a package and inbuilt. Its called Workspace ONE. Whenever we have an issue, we contact the service provider, and instead of a fix, we are just getting the next version of Workspace ONE."

"VMware Workspace ONE should allow certain common settings and restrictions across multiple operating systems."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved."

"The Intune license model is costly."

"The pricing needs improvement."

"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."

"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."

"The price could be better."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."

"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

More NinjaOne pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."

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

"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."

"Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD."

"I think that the price is reasonable."

"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is expensive. However, for the features that are provided, the price is reasonable. There is a subscription to use the solution."

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."
