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.

An MDM solution for controlling and restricting data on devices
Everyone is using high-end devices, such as mobile devices. If they lose their devices, how about the data copied to other devices? Once the device is lost, you can remotely delete all of the data and block the device, preventing anyone from using or reusing it. This will keep your devices secure.
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

"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"The core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."
"Scalefusion is easy to use, and they have a broad knowledge base, so you can quickly find answers if you're unsure how to do something. The articles on the knowledge base are well-written, with clear steps on what to do for a specific scenario. That part is well documented."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
"The solution can scale."
"We find it to be reliable."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"We've faced significant pushback with Copilot as our clients aren't seeing a favorable cost-benefit analysis."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"Technical support can be challenging when resources shift, requiring repeated explanations. Support from India sometimes provides information without the right solution."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
"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."
"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button. Currently, we have to sift through different groups to block a device. It would be nice if Scalefusion allowed me to block without moving the device to a different profile. Another helpful feature they could add is the ability to migrate from one MDM to another. I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough."
"One area for improvement could be streamlining permissions during initial device setup, especially for corporate-owned devices, to reduce manual user interaction and expedite deployment."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
Information not available
"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 rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The solution can be costly when the customer is dealing with multiple platforms. If a customer is only dealing with iOS, Windows, and Android then Intune is the better choice because there are free licenses."
"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."
"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
"I think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."
"The tool is expensive."
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
