Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Offers scalability and ability to create granular policies
It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution.  Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior. I have been using it for five…

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

"When comparing these two products, I prefer Intune."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"It is a very helpful and easy solution."
"Using Azure and Intune has helped us resolve most of these issues, as we no longer need a physical infrastructure to manage systems and can push policies remotely while maintaining control over the devices."
"Microsoft Intune simplifies device management by replacing the traditional method of installing OS, joining a domain, and configuring everything manually."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Implementing Microsoft Intune has provided a more streamlined and consistent method for device management across our multiple domains, effectively consolidating our administrative efforts."
"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."
"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."
"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features; there are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package, but by using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click."
"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."
"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."
"Ivanti Avalanche has reduced the time needed to perform updates on all the devices across our clients' organizations; it's a great time-saver for the client."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."
"The product offers very good performance, we are able to use HTML for the web connection which is quite helpful, and the solution has proven to be very stable and rather scalable."
"The solution can scale."
"It's perfect for our customers and our company."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
 

Cons

"From an end-user perspective of Microsoft Intune, I haven't experienced any challenges since installation. However, some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"Reporting can be better. Only global administrators can see detailed reports at the moment, and I don't want to use the global admin."
"However, due to access limitations, we are unable to deploy certain security features on end-user devices."
"If you're looking forward to deficiency, I'd say that the Endpoint Manager support at the lower levels is poor."
"A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing."
"Almost every day during the initial deployment, I would chat with technical support for solutions. They did not give me a suitable solution to solve the false positive alarms."
"Customer support can be improved and simpler policy management can be implemented."
"I switched away from Microsoft Intune because it cannot manage the MacBook very well."
"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
"However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper."
"The tool's stability could be better."
"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
"In terms of pricing, this solution is definitely much more expensive compared to other solutions, like MobileIron or MaaS360 or any other product in the market."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"You will need to purchase licenses for each device."
"Although the solution is a bit costly in my opinion, for customers who really need this solution, Ivanti Avalanche is worth it."
"Other than the standard licensing fee, there aren't any additional or hidden costs, although I believe Avalanche could be made more affordable in general."
"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."
"The license is based on assets. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable."
"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."
"I think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."
"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."
"I think that the price is reasonable."
"The pricing currently is higher than the competition."
