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.
Vikram - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers reliability and efficiency to users
The real-time visibility offered by the product has impacted our company's IT operations, and I can say that it is a user-friendly or admin-friendly product. I recommend the product to others since it is a powerful solution. The product is reliable and efficient. The product vendors are helpful, and they try to engage with the customers and improve the product. In terms of the benefits offered by the product, it is a powerful tool where the vendor offers support to users. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
Vishal Bhatia - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"What I appreciate the most about Microsoft Intune is that it's quick and easy to use from an authenticator perspective. There is simplicity in securing our platform. Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place, acting as a comprehensive solution where we can manage numerous devices and configuration profiles, and block specific URLs, among many other capabilities."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"Workspace ONE UEM's best features are that you can track and monitor all the products, with a wide range of supported devices like Android, Apple, and Windows, and it offers easy application and email management along with effective compliance and health attestation capabilities."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune could be improved by adding short video tutorials or direct links to Microsoft articles in the information button."
"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"It could offer more attributes for authentication."
"Installing software in Microsoft Intune can be challenging if it is not already prepackaged."
"Automatic updating is pretty rough. It doesn't give me as much control as I had in the past."
"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"Integration with Microsoft needs improvement. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization."
"We'd like more useful support."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
Information not available
"I think that the price is reasonable."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"For most of the projects, we use the standard license but for complex ones, we use the older type of processes, integrations, and licenses inside the solution."
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
"A person should pay towards the licensing costs of VMware Identity Manager on a yearly or monthly basis, but government and public sector units cannot for a perpetual licensing model."
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
"The tool is expensive."
"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
