Everything has worked better since we started using it

Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

A solid low-code builder that helps build workflows and processes in a variety of settings

It's not complex, but you need certified skills for setup to be easy. It is different for an L1 resource, who has a basic understanding of things and may not be a developer who deeply understands how to build up the solution, where that understanding is present with an L3 or L2 resource. For maintenance, you need at least one skill set for each module. You would need one for UEM and one more for MDM, which is the ideal way to do it unless you have people who know the modules in and out. We have a larger team for IT service management because the demand for IT service management is high, but we can see that for other modules as well now.

The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on

I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."

"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."

"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."

"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."

"It is very easy for me to configure all the things. Once I create policies and applications in Intune, it is very easy for us to enroll users."

"The solution has significantly improved managing a diverse range of devices. We have observed enhancements across Android, iOS, and Windows devices."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."

"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is cloud-based, which aids in deployment."

"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."

"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."

"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."

"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."

"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager pros

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."

"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."

"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."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature is the security policies."

"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."

"The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."

"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."

"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."

"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."

"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."

"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."

"I would like Intune to natively support easier report generation. This improvement would enable less experienced staff to run reports more efficiently without relying on additional tools or functions."

"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization."

"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."

"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."

"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."

"It could benefit from faster integration with new technologies, such as quicker adaptation to Windows updates. Additionally, more advanced customization options would be valuable."

"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager cons

"They need a more flexible pricing model."

"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."

"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."

"The solution needs to adapt to the cloud based reality of the current world model. Some customers may have reluctance to this, but it is the next level for all of the big providers. Azure, AWS and Google are all on the forefront of cloud-based solutions."

"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."

"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."

"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."

"Setup is not too complex."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."

"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."

"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."

"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."

"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."

"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"The licensing is based on assets for MDM or EM, where you need one license per asset. The license is annual, and it is not very expensive."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."

"The pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."

"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."

"You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."

"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."

"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."

"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Pricing is an area that could be improved."

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

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."
