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

"We have not had any issues with the scalability."
"It is very stable and scalable because this is a cloud-only solution."
"Microsoft Intune is unique in providing management for all operating systems, including macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS."
"The security features are most definitely valuable. If I have to give an example, the lockdown features that prevent employees from configuring anything or downloading company data are valuable. We get high-quality device protection, malware protection, and information protection at the same time."
"The integration with conditional access is great."
"The best features in Microsoft Intune include secure authentication, which I find very favorable, and the fact that we can remotely push applications."
"Microsoft Intune is a good solution and it is purely based on Azure cloud, so I can use all the benefits of Azure cloud in Microsoft Intune and several good features in Microsoft Intune to manage devices."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager's patch management has been the most helpful to us."
"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's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"The benefit is that it helps our remote connections be as secure as possible, and being able to issue mobile devices increases productivity."
"I would recommend this solution because it's simple for end-users."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
"VMware provides a wide range of services that are second to none."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The technical support could be improved."
"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 and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"Sometimes, it takes time to synchronize the policies between the portal and the devices, you don't have a way to estimate how long it will take to deploy. You have some kind of gray area, where it can deploy in 30 minutes or three days."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"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."
"The console comes bunched together as a package and inbuilt. Its called Workspace ONE. Whenever we have an issue, we contact the service provider, and instead of a fix, we are just getting the next version of Workspace ONE."
"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."
"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 initial setup should be simplified."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"It was a bit complex on the setting up of the policy, at first."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"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."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
Information not available
"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."
"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"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."
"We pay approximately thirty to thirty-five euros per device per month for the complete suite, and this is a fixed cost with one, three, or five-year licensing in advance. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, making it affordable."
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
"VMware Workspace ONE is not cheap; it's quite expensive. However, in the end, they gave us a reasonable price."
"For the moment, we have a multi-year contract, meaning that we cannot go with a different solution at this time even if the price should prove more favorable."
"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."
