Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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

"What I like most about Microsoft Intune is that it's agile and easy to deploy, and it covers the maximum number of policies."
"It is a wonderful product; I would advise others to go for it because it is definitely helpful for an enterprise and has been improving constantly."

"It works pretty well for us."
"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic; it is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"Since the introduction of Microsoft Intune, we have had the problem completely taken care of."
"The valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"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."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"Support is helpful and responsive."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"If a customer requires a true solution then I would say VMware is the right choice."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in server patch management and allowing direct uploads of EXE applications instead of needing to convert them to Intune format, which would save time."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment. While it works very well for Microsoft users but if you have other kinds of operating systems, it's very painful to use."
"Installing software in Microsoft Intune can be challenging if it is not already prepackaged."
"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"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."
"There are some licensing models that could be able to be managed in Snow Device Manager that are not, such as token-based models."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"Integration with Microsoft needs improvement. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"The application itself individuals are getting annoyed with it. They are looking to integrate with ABB applications regardless of whether it is Android or iOS based. We are wanting to shift from this application because of the integration issues we are facing."
"Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be."
"The license could be better."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
"The solution isn't too stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"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."
Information not available
"While it is not inexpensive in terms of price, it is definitely worth it."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"If you have a host of custom requirements (including licensing), make sure to set aside enough time for the initial setup because it can take up to a few weeks depending on how complex your environment is."
"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."
"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."
"For big users, it's around $500."
"The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."
