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.

Trainer/Consultant at Koenig Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
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

"Using this product has completely stopped DLP, so people cannot take material off of corporate machines or corporate imagines, and that's a huge benefit."
"If you want to manage your mobile devices as well as your Windows 10 devices, Intune is the best option."
"As an IT administrator, I appreciate Intune's ability to implement granular device-level policies for our organization's employees."
"Microsoft Intune is unique in providing management for all operating systems, including macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"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 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."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"The solution scalability is very good, and we have clients mostly in medium to large-scale enterprises, with some large customers having approximately 1,300 devices using the solution."
"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's single plane of glass approach is beneficial. The endpoint management is very good and specific. One of their competitors is Intune, and you have leaks from other services within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"I like the technical support a lot; it's really first hand, high-level support."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
 

Cons

"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"I cannot think of any particular features which I consider to be most valuable."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great; they don't give a lot of meaning so far."
"For additional functionality, I suggest that Microsoft could expand on asset management. Since the platform is there, they could develop it into a full-fledged asset management system."
"I find the solution quite old school with not many features."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"We have faced some issues with the stability of this solution. It is not as stable on mobile devices as Jamf Pro and Mac devices."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"Support is probably the main challenge that we have. Their support was not very good."
"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."
"VMware Workspace ONE can improve in virtual reality. Customers are now looking toward virtual reality devices. Though it supports virtual reality, it's treated as an Android device. Customers want to deal with VR devices, they want a specific VR tool. Not an Android device VR tool."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
Information not available
"We pay approximately $6.50 per user for the standard version. If you are paying for an enterprise license that includes VDI then it will cost approximately $25 per user on a monthly basis."
"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable."
"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 a highly affordable solution"
"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."
"The pricing currently is higher than the competition."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"We are paying about $145,000 a year on a three-year subscription with no ability to scale up or scale down within that class model."
