Allows us to ensure that all devices are authenticated , but is limited on Mac devices
We use the solution for information and protection. The solution identifies anything that can be exploited Microsoft Intune allows us to ensure that all devices are authenticated and that they use policies to prevent people from logging in and accessing unauthorized resources. Autopilot is the…

The portal is not user-friendly, it is too complicated, and registering devices is very difficult
The product enables us to access our internal applications through any device from anywhere It's a very good technology. If I’m in Saudi Arabia today and in the USA tomorrow, I can access our internal applications without any downtime. I can access our office application through mobile phones,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"I like how Intune deploys the policies and makes them customizable. You can deploy it through Intune and forget about it."
"It's really easy to access."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"It has good stability."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"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."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"No issues with scalability."
"Workspace ONE has something like an orchestrator model that allows me to configure a set of steps to onboard new PCs, laptops, or tablets. So, it makes my work easy."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
 

Cons

"There could be more competent processes and improvements in the policy space."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"I want the tool to improve its support. It should also incorporate some functionalities. Currently, preparing presentations in Google is a pain point. The tool’s certain features like user provisioning are not intuitive as well. The product’s LDAP support is very poor. Clients do not trust the product due to the spam."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"The integration should be made easier."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different systems, mainly wireless SIEMS and other analytical systems that we want to introduce."
"Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit. They have kept too many products as add ons. These need to be bundled with the low-cost, standard version. This will help customers in adopting this technology at a faster pace."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."
"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"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."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."
"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."
"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."
"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."
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
