We can manage all aspects of our devices from a single console, easy to scale, and quick to deploy
Intune has many benefits from the Microsoft perspective. This solution can manage Windows 10 devices, app management, and provide security solutions. We don't need to worry about our network connection, and we'll be more secure with regular security patches and compliance. Since everything will be deployed through the internet and users will log in using the internet only, the risks have been mitigated. Security updates, security patching, and the application will be targeted from Intune. The location tracker will be available to track where the device is and the user's location. The user will be restricted from accessing certain applications using compliance policies. Conditional access policies will be based on the reason why the user needs access to the application. Microsoft Intune is one of the best products in the industry for managing Windows devices. The solution has more feature restrictions. The conditional access policies also eliminate the dependency on the on-prem network for the devices. The solution also manages our security settings and a lot of other beneficial features such as Microsoft Purview which gives us the compliance portion. We can manage all aspects of our device from a single console, including M365 services. This allows us to configure data classification types, such as public, private, internal, confidential, and highly confidential.

Feature-rich, easy to use, and has responsive technical support
We are working on the proof of concept for both MobileIron and Workspace ONE. We are only testing MobileIron and Workspace ONE. After that, we will decide which device to use. Workspace ONE by VMware Similarly, we will use MobileIron as a mobile device management tool, allowing us to manage our endpoints remotely. So far, we have not had any issues with VMware, and we have resolved some, if not all, of the issues. I have been testing with VMware Workspace ONE for the same amount of time as MobileIron UEM, three weeks. We are using the latest version, and it is deployed on a public cloud. The cloud provider is VMware. I have also been working with Google Chrome. Google Workspace is an email production tool provided by Google. We don't have a firewall because we're in the cloud right now. We have no on-premises network and all of our systems are hosted in the cloud.

Effective vulnerability, desktop, and patch management
We are using ManageEngine Endpoint Central primarily for desktop management. It allows us to deploy patches, manage antivirus, control endpoints like DLP, and more The most valuable feature to me is the vulnerability management. It also has effective patch management capabilities. The main issue…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"Previously, we used on-prem SCCM to deploy applications we built manually. After migrating to Intune, we automated and streamlined the process of deploying applications with autopilot. I can do more with my day. I can manage more applications and ensure that they're updated without monitoring and manually starting that process all over again."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Intune include providing visibility into devices and the ability to manage them remotely."
"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The company provides great customer service."
"The stability is great."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Patch Management."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central's most valuable features are remote desktop control and image management. We can send things out from the desk here, it is a very good tool for us."
"The most valuable feature to me is the vulnerability management."
"Everything is easily centralized and managed under this one product."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine Endpoint Central is the central management console. Additionally, inventory tracking is helpful for knowing where our assets are."
"We use the product to know about our assets and manage remote support."
"The setup is pretty simple."
 

Cons

"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"The solution isn't fully stable, and, when it goes down, it's hard to get it up and running."
"I would like to see them include the ability to find out the network usage but I believe that might be a feature of it already."
"The product's remote access manager needs improvement."
"The product must provide more API integrations with different ERP tools."
"The main issue that needs improvement is the pricing."
"The solution should be better at integrating with other solutions."
"Compared to the solution we use to manage our Mac products, this solution lacks the ability to create dynamic groups. We would like the ability, for example, for machines which have been upgraded to form part of a grouping based on this upgrade."
"I really feel like asset explorer should be a component of desktop central. That would make it the ultimate desktop management tool. This would also simplify the asset management role since an agent is already being deployed and assets could be added at the same time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The solution is very affordable."
"The product is not costly. The product is properly priced, especially for SMBs."
"Choose wisely between the Professional and Enterprise editions, based on your needs."
"The product is cheap."
"We pay about $250 a year for our license."
"The pricing is average."
"There are multiple flavors of the app. They have a distributed version for enterprises. It depends on your size. They price it on a per machine basis. 250 or 500 is probably their least amount."
"Compared to other products, ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a very cheap solution."
