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.

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 thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified. We have all machines connected to it at all times, whether they are in the office or working from home."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Microsoft Intune to organizations looking for management of a large number of devices and enterprise environments."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"Hexnode UEM has in-depth support of device operating systems, which is one of the most common requirements."
"It's very easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"We've found the solution to be easy to use."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"The solution has very good documentation."
 

Cons

"The reporting dashboard is really limited."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"During the onboarding of Microsoft Intune, we faced the problem that the policies were not getting synced."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"There are areas that have room for improvement in Microsoft Intune, particularly regarding integrations."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"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."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"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."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
Information not available
"The solution can be costly when the customer is dealing with multiple platforms. If a customer is only dealing with iOS, Windows, and Android then Intune is the better choice because there are free licenses."
"Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be."
"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."
"You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."
"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."
"For most of the projects, we use the standard license but for complex ones, we use the older type of processes, integrations, and licenses inside the solution."
"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
