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

"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"I would advise others this solution is easy to implement in the organization."
"It works pretty well for us."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."
"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."
"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices, as we can track Android devices and cross-functional devices in Workspace ONE in a simplified platform for managing all of our devices."
"When compared to competitors, VMware Workspace ONE is quite good."
"It's perfect for our customers and our company."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it enables us to remotely manage the devices, which is its purpose, and to push applications to the mobile devices from the portal."
"Imagine that your business apps on your mobile device, for instance, no longer require you to type in your username, password, or second factor of authentication—as long as you're handling a managed and trustworthy device, you can seamlessly log in to applications."
 

Cons

"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"I have not been satisfied with it, and I am planning to change it soon. There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"The major problem with this product is that there can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"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 security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"Many bugs with every version release of both the console and AirWatch Apps/products, often bringing back old documented issues in new releases."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"Scalability is a problem because we have a service provider who is supposed to maintain the backend with patching."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
Information not available
"It is quite expensive, but I think large companies have agreements with these organizations that provide remote monitoring for phones, and they get massive discounts. The public price does not reflect what they pay. You won't get the same pricing if you're buying for 10 employees versus 1,000 employees. On the public price, you get perhaps a 10% discount, but if you're buying 1,000, the discount could be really massive, especially if you signed a contract for a number of years."
"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."
"We are paying about $145,000 a year on a three-year subscription with no ability to scale up or scale down within that class model."
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."
"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."
