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.

Offers scalability and ability to create granular policies

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

"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."

"I have no issues with the scalability and ability to expand Microsoft Intune."

"It is very stable and scalable because this is a cloud-only solution."

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."

"Overall, the stability is good."

"The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints."

"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."

"Microsoft Intune has helped us by improving our security posture, leading to fewer security problems, and helping us understand where we have issues."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."

"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."

"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 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. 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."

"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."

"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."

"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."

"Good device management and good integration with third parties."

"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view."

"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."

"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."

"The solution can scale."

"What I found most valuable in VMware Workspace ONE is that it's user-friendly."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"For additional functionality, I suggest that Microsoft could expand on asset management. Since the platform is there, they could develop it into a full-fledged asset management system."

"Packages on different identity provider platforms that are not supported present challenges for package installation."

"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer."

"The generic answer to what can be improved is that I hope that the reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."

"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."

"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."

"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."

"The reporting part needs improvement, and it would be beneficial if it could integrate with third-party tools instead of just Power BI."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The tool's stability could be better."

"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."

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."

"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper."

"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. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."

"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."

"Cost of licensing is quite high."

"VMware Workspace ONE isn't that good with patching and fixing, especially when compared to BigFix."

"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."

"VMware is an expensive tool, and we are not using the complete platform. We are paying for a tool that we are not fully using."

"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."

"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."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

"Pricing can be improved."

"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."

"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."

"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."

"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The license is based on assets. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."

"While it is not inexpensive in terms of price, it is definitely worth it."

"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."

"I think that the price is reasonable."

"We've purchased various licenses for VMware Workspace ONE, including premium and gold tiers. These licenses include security measures and support for managing telecom expenses like data and voice usage."

"Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD."

"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is expensive. However, for the features that are provided, the price is reasonable. There is a subscription to use the solution."

"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."

"Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be."

Reviews from Real Users

Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
