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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The company provides great customer service."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"The security features are most definitely valuable. If I have to give an example, the lockdown features that prevent employees from configuring anything or downloading company data are valuable. We get high-quality device protection, malware protection, and information protection at the same time."
"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."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
More Microsoft Intune pros
 

Cons

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"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 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."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."
"The security aspect could be more effective."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"The solution requires Mac support."
More Microsoft Intune cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"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."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."

What are the differences between MobileIron UEM and Microsoft Intune?
Hello Lahcen, I am posting this comment on behalf of one of our site users who is the Head of Infrastructure at his company. He says: One of the key differences is MobileIron is much more mature than Intune in some aspects. So you have much more granular controls in MobileIron if you need to.

The MobileIron UEM solution is now Ivanti and is divided into 3 areas: Client Management (EndPoint)-Mobile Management (MDM) and Desktop or workspace customization. Microsoft solutions are Defender Endpoint - Microsoft Intune (MDM and MAM). The advantage, if they are Windows, is because the Defender antivirus is managed in Defender EndPoint and the management or control of Android or Windows devices and application deployment With Intune; It is also complemented with Office 365. I hope to be helpful. https://www.ivanti.com/es/lp/uem/reports/gartner-magic-quadrant-for-uem

Hello Lahcen,  I am posting this comment on behalf of one of our site users who is the Head of Infrastructure at his company. He says: One of the key differences is MobileIron is much more mature than Intune in some aspects. So you have much more granular controls in MobileIron if you need to. Microsoft Intune on the other hand is easier to use in my opinion and has most features that most organization needs. If you already have a Microsoft 365 Tenant or intend to have one, Microsoft Intune is really a no-brainer. Unless you need those super granular controls that only MobileIron or Airwatch has, you will want to keep Intune. Intune is much faster and easier to deploy if you know the solution well. I typically need 1 week to configure everything in a Tenant to manage IOS & Windows devices as long as the requirements are fixed before I start the configuration. There are not many Intune experts out there but it’s not that difficult to learn either. MobileIron is a much more complicated solution and has been adopted from an on-prem solution to start with so it has its legacies limitation too. Microsoft Intune started on the cloud right from the start so it does not have such issues.
