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.

Review about BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite

For the purpose of better performance is we have some applications, internal applications, that work on document but when we did integration with BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise, yeah. I think that we failed. We failed on that integration. We cannot integrate that BlackBerry Edit. BlackBerry Edit has issues for editing any document. We have other internal applications that can bring or field documents but cannot edit into BlackBerry Edit. There's room for improvement with editing documents. When I was the [inaudible 00:09:48] for BlackBerry Enterprise, maybe they need to create... I'm so sorry. Because for month or once on a month, I need to delete database or some database logs from BlackBerry that use much [crosstalk 00:10:09]- I think the database slow because the BlackBerry Enterprise, it have database that put inside SQL Server, so every month I need to check the hard disk if it is sufficient to handle the database files or not. Every month, I need to check hard disk, so if it's not sufficient or it's already full, I need to delete some logs. I think on the UEM server, they can keep the database or hard disk performance, like approval. So from the UEM server, we can delete any file that is not used anymore. Yeah, something like that, I think.

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 stability is good."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."

"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."

"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."

"I like Intune's ability to manage roles, maintenance tasks, compliance settings, and patch development for all endpoints."

"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."

"Microsoft Intune has definitely reduced management burdens."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."

"It was an improvement when we got the Tasks and the Notes as well as Connect for Skype For Business."

"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."

"It was a big improvement to activate applications with one authentication. That was a big plus for the user experience."

"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."

"We are able to separate personal information and in the event of e breach, we are able to turn off access and/or delete this information."

"It gives us the ability to have a container and the most secure possible application."

"Having access to our internet was extremely beneficial. We don't have that functionality now that we have switched to Microsoft Intune. It was definitely better with Blackberry."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

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

"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."

"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."

"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."

"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."

"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."

"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."

"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."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"The user interface should be more user-friendly, as it can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Microsoft often relocates features, making it difficult to consistently find what I need."

"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."

"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."

"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."

"Installing software in Microsoft Intune can be challenging if it is not already prepackaged."

"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."

"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."

"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The entry level support needs improvement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that we do not have premium support. Therefore, we have to go through Level 1 support for any issues."

"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."

"I know for the BlackBerry Connect, our users want to see more features, such as audio and video. I know the current version doesn't have that."

"They could improve their QA. There are many times where something will be released, a new client will be released, and something gets broken. Or they do a release and they don't take into consideration how some people may be using parts of it. Even though it's supported, they release something and it breaks it because they weren't aware of it. The biggest thing for me right now is, I would like to see improvement in their QA. I'm tired of getting broken software."

"The interface could be improved."

"As far as being able to remotely wipe a device, or remove it from the console, this is not simple to do. It is not a one-click motion, as it requires several steps."

"The initial installation could be simplified."

"One fault that BlackBerry has is its salesforce. Their direct salesforce department is changing its salespeople constantly. One client I had, over a period of about three years, went through four salespeople. That continuity is a problem, in terms of dealing with the customers."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"The initial setup should be simplified."

"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."

"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."

"They need a more flexible pricing model."

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

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

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

"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 licensing is on a yearly basis."

"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."

"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."

"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."

"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."

"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."

"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."

"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."

"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."

"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."

"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."

"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."

"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."

"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pricing and cost advice

"The solution is more expensive than Intune."

"For the moment, we have a multi-year contract, meaning that we cannot go with a different solution at this time even if the price should prove more favorable."

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

"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."

"It's definitely a bit on the expensive side. It is more for smaller organizations and not large, massive enterprises. I am not sure about any additional costs. As far as we could tell, the billing was what the billing was."

"For big users, it's around $500."

"The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."

"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."

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.

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."
