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.

Centralized device control has strengthened compliance and continuously improves risk visibility
The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all. Hexnode UEM should be flexible in its solution offering. Currently, they only have around three types of licenses or packages, and whether you use the solution or the features or not, they are already included in the suite. Some products offer an a la carte solution, so in order to compete with those products, Hexnode UEM should consider repackaging the solution with respect to the region where it is being offered. The solution offered to India might not be optimal if it is offered to the Philippines or a different country, so the offering should be on a country-by-country basis or a regional basis.
Vishal Bhatia - PeerSpot reviewer
Trainer/Consultant at Koenig Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
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

"I have seen a return on investment with Microsoft Intune, as it has saved me resources; previously, I managed my infrastructure with a team of around six to seven members, but after transitioning to the Microsoft Intune hybrid model, I am able to manage it with just one resource, allowing me to cut costs significantly, around 50-60 lakhs."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"For our clients, the conditional access feature along with different compliance policies that they can set is valuable."
"It has improved our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"The compliance and configuration policies in Microsoft Intune are the most valuable features, saving significant time compared to manual implementation."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"It's very easy to use."
"Hexnode UEM has in-depth support of device operating systems, which is one of the most common requirements."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is the support for multiple devices, not only iOS and Android, but all kinds of platforms, including VR device management, and it also has a tunneling feature, which no other solution provides."
"It's a more secure solution to manage all tablets or mobile devices, helps us stay organized, integrates well with mobile devices and tablets, is stable and reliable, and can scale."
"The authentication integration is great; it can be combined with basically different kinds of authentication mechanisms and provide a single sign-on."
"The BYOD management console has a smooth application performance, and whenever I choose an application, template, or report, it is easy to use."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"Support is helpful and responsive."
"Mainly, the solution offers a simplified administration, which is likely the biggest value for a business."
 

Cons

"I switched away from Microsoft Intune because it cannot manage the MacBook very well."
"The only issues I have had with Microsoft Intune were with applications where if they are not an MSI file, I cannot really upload it as an application."
"I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"Customer service used to be better, but as we are nearing the end of the contract, the focus on investing in us as a customer has diminished. It is what one would expect in such a situation."
"I'd like to see an ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree."
"Support is absolutely horrible. If I was not escalating through the account team that I've got, I would have practically no support on it whatsoever."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
Information not available
"The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."
"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."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"Depending on the requirements of users, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
