Modern endpoint management has transformed onboarding and strengthened remote security controls
The features of Microsoft Intune are straightforward, including Windows Autopilot, zero-touch deployment, centralized device management, and conditional access security controls. Using zero-touch deployment and Windows Autopilot in Microsoft Intune has significantly improved my workflow and organization. New laptops are shipped directly to users with no IT handling needed, and there is no manual imaging or configuration required. These features have a real impact. They save hours of manual setup per device, reduce dependency on the IT team for basic provisioning, and ensure every system is configured consistently and securely. Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization by improving device management. Devices are managed from a single cloud console. It has reduced manual work for provisioning and configuration. It has faster onboarding using Autopilot. It has enhanced security posture through enforced compliance policies, encryption, antivirus, and password rules. Conditional access ensures only trusted devices can access resources. I have better support for remote users, as devices can be managed from anywhere with no dependency on office network or VPN for basic management. It has easy troubleshooting and policy updates.

Useful inventory tool, scalable, and initial installation straightforward
My advice to those getting started with Snow Device Manager would be to set up the support starting with the full package because most people normally only get the inventory section. It can be complicated in the beginning when you first start with the solution, we did not have support and it would have been a benefit to have. There are different license models and we could not find a lot of information about them. They have a decent library and we can find data on the different topics such as some types of license models. However, you have to be a paid member to have access. I rate Snow Device Manager a ten out of ten.

Effective product tracking and monitoring enhances daily operations despite needing documentation improvement
The documentation part of Workspace ONE UEM can be confusing. The documentation is not comprehensive compared to other VMware solutions or Microsoft documentation. Most people struggle to connect the dots when looking at the documentation. Even the training material and PowerPoint slide decks that trainers use are sometimes too confusing or overwhelming, with too much content but not enough clarity. The support side has recently become weaker compared to what it used to be with VMware. This is another area that needs improvement. Since working with Workspace ONE UEM from when it was AirWatch, it has improved significantly over the last five years. However, there are still some gray areas and scope for improvement, especially in documentation and workflow between different aspects of the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."
"What I like most about the tool is that it's now very easy to set up a device for someone to use. It also helps us tremendously in managing security. Before, we used on-premise management with a domain controller. It was difficult to manage security comprehensively. For example, it was hard to know which computers were updated. We weren't able to do that easily with our previous solution."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Intune include remote updates. The update runs in the background, so there's no need in most cases to go on-site to do it."
"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"There are many features in Microsoft Intune. For personal mobile devices, MDM is what I most prefer."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"The inventory tool is the most valuable. We have some clients that would only do the entitlements section and search for contracts using Excel sheets. The inventory tool is a lot easier for the managing of licenses, installations, and devices on the tools is a huge benefit."
"The inventory tool is a lot easier for the managing of licenses, installations, and devices on the tools is a huge benefit."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"For an organization like us, we have the same platform and want to manage multiple devices, and it is the best solution for us right now."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"When compared to competitors, VMware Workspace ONE is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it enables us to remotely manage the devices, which is its purpose, and to push applications to the mobile devices from the portal."
"Overall, we've been very happy with VMware."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune can be improved by making it even more seamless for users to download their certificates."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"It can improve for new users; in the starting phase, we found that the logs are too complex or scattered."
"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."
"The user interface should be more user-friendly, as it can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Microsoft often relocates features, making it difficult to consistently find what I need."
"There are some licensing models that could be able to be managed in Snow Device Manager that are not, such as token-based models."
"There are some licensing models that could be able to be managed in Snow Device Manager that are not, such as token-based models. This would be a benefit since the growth of blockchains."
"We have experienced some connectivity issues."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"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."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"We'd like more useful support."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
Information not available
"Depending on the requirements of users, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"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."
"Our organization has stopped using the solution because it was expensive."
"A person should pay towards the licensing costs of VMware Identity Manager on a yearly or monthly basis, but government and public sector units cannot for a perpetual licensing model."
"It's definitely a bit on the expensive side. It is more for smaller organizations and not large, massive enterprises. I am not sure about any additional costs. As far as we could tell, the billing was what the billing was."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."
