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.

Effortless policy management with built-in simplicity that enhances user experience
I work in kiosk delivery for my users' laptops and cellular phones It's very easy to use. It's very comfortable to work on Hexnode since its form and usage are very simple. The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer…
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

"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier. It allows us to deploy applications, packages, Windows updates, and security updates like BitLocker encryption more efficiently and easily."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"It's very easy to use."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."
 

Cons

"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."
"We face multiple scenarios where IT decision-makers request specific policy implementations, however, due to product limitations, we cannot fulfill these requests."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"To make it a perfect ten, it would be helpful if there was a better way to troubleshoot user issues, as I've had a few users with corrupt files before and had to redeploy it without knowing the root cause."
"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"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."
"VMware Workspace ONE should allow certain common settings and restrictions across multiple operating systems."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"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 are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
Information not available
"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
"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."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
"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."
"While it is not inexpensive in terms of price, it is definitely worth it."
"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."
