Senior Business Development Executive at Digitaltrack
Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Easy to use and set up with easy mobile access to reports
The initial setup is quite straightforward and simple. It only takes one day to set up. At the time of SAP implementation, it's a part of the portfolio. It's a one-time activity that you have just implemented in your ERP boxes. After that, you have to install a mobile application on Android or iOS, and you can use your user ID and password credentials, and you can access your reports. Once it's installed, you only need one IT person to align things. It doesn't take a big team. They can generate and change reports as necessary. If you need to change certain things, you need an SAP developer. There is no admin team requirement, and you can access it from anywhere.

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 dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Microsoft Intune is a great product, and you should use it."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"If you need to access company reports on the go, you can pull them up on your phone, which allows for immediate access without the need to carry around your laptop everywhere."
"Everything is available to you from your handset."
"The feature with the highest rating for me is its employee management. I can also praise how versatile it is in terms of operating systems. It has good support for multiple operating systems and can easily manage them all. Not just that, but it can also support any kind of tool that can be run on all these operating systems."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"The technical support is very good, the agent was always helpful and responsive."
"We provide smooth access with mobile SSO to these solutions with one click."
"Basically, the data containerization and the ability to publish and consistently push apps is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"I would recommend this solution because it's simple for end-users."
"They are seeing a savings of approximately 35% with the reduced need to buy new laptops and desktops."
"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."
 

Cons

"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"I think nine is a very good rating for this solution, and I kept one point out because I think in the future it requires improvement based on future scalability in the IT infrastructure."
"One thing I would suggest is that servers are not getting managed through Microsoft Intune."
"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."
"Microsoft Intune has potential for improvement; I would like to see a lot more customization in the reporting tools."
"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."
"We would like it if SAP could integrate the transactional mode as well so that users can perform transactional jobs by mobile-only."
"The initial setup is pretty complicated. It can be a steep learning curve."
"We have had a need to move the database, and that was fairly difficult as documentation was sparse, and the first support technican said AirWatch would need re-installed."
"We have experienced some connectivity issues in that the application in VMware is very slow compared to SecureX."
"For the purpose that this solution is designed for it works great, but it doesn't compare well with other solutions."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"We'd like more useful support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"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."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"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."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
Information not available
"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"It's an expensive tool."
"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
"If you purchase it for one year, it is very expensive. If you get it for three years or up to five years, then you can bargain a better price."
"The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."
"You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."
"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."
