Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Lorenzo Arcinue - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Joel Amate - PeerSpot reviewer
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 core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost-saving solution, reducing IT department workload and allowing for faster device provisioning compared to traditional methods."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The company provides great customer service."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The solution includes support for remote work. It also features identity management. This setup supports our users remotely by providing default monitoring and tunneling into our environment, eliminating the need for additional VPN software to access backend applications and staff resources."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"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."
"The solution can scale."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"The solution has proven to be very stable."
"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"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 is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"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."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"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."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"VMware Workspace ONE sometimes has bugs that prevent it from working as intended or expected. Generally, these bugs can lead to unexpected results and hinder effectiveness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"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."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"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."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"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."
"I think that the price is reasonable."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved."
"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is expensive. However, for the features that are provided, the price is reasonable. There is a subscription to use the solution."
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
