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

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

"We are transforming our flat network by adopting different cloud solutions, and our own applications are hosted in the cloud. Intune ensures our security throughout our entire cloud-based system, improving our security posture."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"It helps us manage user certificates."
"The management control feature is the most valuable."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"ROI is very high at the end."
"Hexnode UEM has in-depth support of device operating systems, which is one of the most common requirements."
"It's very easy to use."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"It has improved the way our organization functions; it provides security, and if an employee loses his or her phone or someone steals it, the data on the phone itself is secured because you can just centrally disable everything, so you only lose the device but not the data."
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."
"One of the features that I enjoyed most was the integration with Azure AD because I could use VMware Identity Manager to standardize the User Principal Name coming from Active Directory. You have Azure AD Connect to do that. In between, if you have vIDM handling it, you can easily get the synchronization of users into your VM and standardize the User Principal Name. If you require quality assurance for handling it, you can actually count on the vIDM to do so. That was one of the main things I enjoyed about the product."
"Valuable features of this solution are the device management and the good integration with third parties."
 

Cons

"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"My experience with them was very bad. They don't know about their own product."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect."
"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."
"With Microsoft technical support, they only fix Teams and when they are open, they're mostly trying to close again at the quickest time."
"Microsoft documentation is a bit hard to get around, so having more control over devices would be good."
"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."
"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 location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as anti-value."
"The product's stability for certain instances needs improvement."
"It hasn’t always been good, but getting better."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"The mobile device repository is somewhat difficult to manage with a large user base."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
Information not available
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It's a highly affordable solution"
"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."
"It's an expensive tool."
"AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month. Microsoft bundles everything, and then that bundling makes the product free for the customers."
"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
