Modern endpoint management has transformed onboarding and strengthened remote security controls
The features of Microsoft Intune are straightforward, including Windows Autopilot, zero-touch deployment, centralized device management, and conditional access security controls. Using zero-touch deployment and Windows Autopilot in Microsoft Intune has significantly improved my workflow and organization. New laptops are shipped directly to users with no IT handling needed, and there is no manual imaging or configuration required. These features have a real impact. They save hours of manual setup per device, reduce dependency on the IT team for basic provisioning, and ensure every system is configured consistently and securely. Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization by improving device management. Devices are managed from a single cloud console. It has reduced manual work for provisioning and configuration. It has faster onboarding using Autopilot. It has enhanced security posture through enforced compliance policies, encryption, antivirus, and password rules. Conditional access ensures only trusted devices can access resources. I have better support for remote users, as devices can be managed from anywhere with no dependency on office network or VPN for basic management. It has easy troubleshooting and policy updates.

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

"What I appreciate about Microsoft Intune is that it is easy for me to deploy software to an environment with 600 laptops."
"Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 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."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager's patch management has been the most helpful to us."
"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."
"It's easy to manage."
"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 solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."
"It provides a single page where you can log in to all of your applications, saving time and simplifying work because all of our users can use all the applications from any platform and work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"The solution has proven to be very stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Management of Linux devices from Microsoft Intune would be great. Then we can manage any device and not only Windows and Apple."
"Microsoft Intune is currently overpriced."
"We've faced significant pushback with Copilot as our clients aren't seeing a favorable cost-benefit analysis."
"Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite."
"One thing I would suggest is that servers are not getting managed through Microsoft Intune."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows."
"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."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions."
"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more."
"vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding."
"Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit."
"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as anti-value."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
Information not available
"The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."
"If you have a host of custom requirements (including licensing), make sure to set aside enough time for the initial setup because it can take up to a few weeks depending on how complex your environment is."
"It's an expensive tool."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."
"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."
