Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

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

"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"I would rate the overall solution as a 10."
"Autopilot is one of the best features because we can use it during remote migration and it especially helps in this pandemic situation where we don't need any end-user computing engineer support."
"The best features of Microsoft Intune include continuous implementation of new capabilities each year, covering almost everything."
"Microsoft Intune is extremely important from a security perspective to ensure devices are compliant and gives us the efficiency to deploy apps automatically to a large number of users without the need for interaction from a client side, which is always helpful."
"Their price is really good, which is the reason customers move here, because as part of the Office 365 package, they always get the E365 as well, which makes it easy for them to manage their devices without having additional licenses for Intune."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"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."
"The product is very stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"Generally, I am satisfied with VMware because they have been quite responsive in terms of the kind of challenges that we have in the Central African region."
"I have found VMware Workspace One better than Microsoft Intune."
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"The benefit is that it helps our remote connections be as secure as possible, and being able to issue mobile devices increases productivity."
"It has improved the way our organization functions; it provides security, and if an employee loses his or her phone or someone steals it, the data on the phone itself is secured because you can just centrally disable everything, so you only lose the device but not the data."
 

Cons

"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."
"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."
"Technical support is not that great."
"However, I dislike how it lags sometimes. I cannot work on multiple processes at the same time."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft."
"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."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome."
"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."
"vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around."
"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."
"Another concern is that support is getting reduced by Workspace ONE; some customers are saying there are support issues on Workspace ONE right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
Information not available
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
"The price of the solution is costly for the number of users I am using it for."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
"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."
"It's a highly affordable solution"
"Pricing is an area that could be improved."
