Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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…
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

"Its most valuable aspect is it is very connected with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"Using zero-touch deployment and Windows Autopilot in Microsoft Intune has significantly improved my workflow and organization."
"We saw approximately forty to fifty percent reduction in manual device setup time with Microsoft Intune as onboarding became fully automated."
"Overall, Microsoft Intune has been a strong platform for modern endpoint management, especially for organizations supporting hybrid work and cloud-first device management strategies."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"The biggest asset is the range of device management options available with Intune, whether it is a Windows device, a Linux device, a Mac device, or mobile devices."
"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 most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"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."
"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."
"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 terminal remediation feature is valuable."
"It has good stability."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"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."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product that can do many things."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"Right now we don't see there's an MDM solution out there that's better than VMware Workspace ONE."
"People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly."
"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

"Reporting needs improvement."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"There could be more features added. For me, as I mentioned, one area is the reporting. If the reporting became better, I think you would not need to use more RMMs."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved by providing more detailed and easier-to-navigate reporting and troubleshooting, especially when diagnosing policy failures."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
"However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"The tool's stability could be better."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper."
"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."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
"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."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"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."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder."
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
"A room for improvement for this product is its integration with Microsoft. It could be better, though most of it is there."
"Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be."
"Customer Service: With Enterprise Service agreement it is a 5/10. Without Enterprise Service agreement it is a 3/10."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"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."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"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."
"You will need to purchase licenses for each device."
"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."
"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."
"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."
"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing currently is higher than the competition."
"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
