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.

Pricing Specialist at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

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

"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."

"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."

"The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."

"The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."

"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."

"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."

"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"VMware is the better solution versus other things that are out there."

"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."

"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."

"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."

"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."

"It provides a single page where you can log in to all of your applications, saving time and simplifying work because all of our users can use all the applications from any platform and work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections."

"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."

"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."

Cons

"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."

"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."

"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."

"I've dealt with Microsoft way too many times, and needless to say, I'm not too fond of Microsoft support most of the time."

"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."

"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."

"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."

"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."

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."

"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 had a need to move the database, and that was fairly difficult as documentation was sparse, and the first support technican said AirWatch would need re-installed."

"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."

"The pricing could always be better."

"If you install an AirWatch on a phone that is not too powerful, you will have performance issues."

"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."

"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."

"it's very dependent on an active directory"

"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Intune is fair."

"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

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

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."

"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."

"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

Information not available

"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."

"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."

"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."

"It's a highly affordable solution"

"It is quite expensive, but I think large companies have agreements with these organizations that provide remote monitoring for phones, and they get massive discounts. The public price does not reflect what they pay. You won't get the same pricing if you're buying for 10 employees versus 1,000 employees. On the public price, you get perhaps a 10% discount, but if you're buying 1,000, the discount could be really massive, especially if you signed a contract for a number of years."

"The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."

"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."

"Depending on the requirements of users, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
