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

"The most reliable feature is the integration with Microsoft XDR, which grants administrators and solution architects like me the ability to bring value to a business."

"The main benefit for us with Microsoft Intune is centralized management of all devices, allowing us to apply one policy across the company from one location."

"The policies on the solution are very good, the process of enrolling devices is a useful aspect for us, the features that allow us to control the devices are helpful, the initial setup is not hard at all, technical support, in general, has been quite helpful, we've found the configuration capabilities to be quite good, and so far, the solution is fast and has an intuitive interface."

"It is very stable and scalable because this is a cloud-only solution."

"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful, allowing users to have an out of box experience."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Microsoft Intune has transformed my organization; we are managing to scale the Intune deployment across all our regions efficiently, and it works perfectly for our needs."

"The mobile device management is very useful."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"Mainly, the solution offers a simplified administration, which is likely the biggest value for a business."

"Customer Service: Excellent customer service. Technical Support: Excellent technical support."

"The solution has very good documentation."

"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."

"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."

"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."

"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."

"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."

"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."

"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."

"You can have a bad day where 80% of the enrollments failed. The next day it's running with the same devices without any changes, and you don't know why."

"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."

"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."

"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."

"It was a bit complex on the setting up of the policy, at first."

"Scalability is a problem because we have a service provider who is supposed to maintain the backend with patching."

"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."

"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."

"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around."

"It hasn’t always been good, but getting better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."

"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."

"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."

"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."

Information not available

"You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."

"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."

"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."

"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."

"AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month. Microsoft bundles everything, and then that bundling makes the product free for the customers."

"Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be."

"For big users, it's around $500."

"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."
