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.

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.

It is a complete and competitive solution with excellent OEM support

Matrix42 is a complete solution in terms of functionality. Still, you need to understand whether it's also capable of managing Kubernetes containers to that extent, and this is not very clear in the product fact sheet. It’s possible with Ivanti MobileIron, though, and Matrix42 seems to be one step behind in this aspect. Likewise, in terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42 to integrate with more third-party tools compared to Ivanti, which has a larger number of integrations due to its size. MobileIron is an older product that has evolved over time, offering advantages in terms of readily available third-party APIs and integrations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."

"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."

"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."

"We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use."

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Intune include providing visibility into devices and the ability to manage them remotely."

"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."

"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."

"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"The company provides great customer service."

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."

Cons

"The synchronization could be improved."

"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."

"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."

"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."

"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins. We continue to experience issues with machines losing their hybrid domain join status."

"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."

"Since GMS is unavailable in China, we currently rely on device administrator enrollment for managing Android devices there."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."

"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."

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

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."

"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."

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."

"The price for Intune is fair."

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"Matrix42 is more affordable than Ivanti."

"I am not sure the price of this solution but I would imagine it is fairly expensive because of the complexity, you would not use it in a small company."
