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.

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.

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

"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"The best features in Microsoft Intune that I appreciate the most are the strong security, encryption, and operating system version."
"The security compliance capabilities make it widely adopted across organizations."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"Overall, my user experience with Microsoft Intune has been great."
"Since implementing this solution, our company has grown substantially, and our talent pool has significantly expanded."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."
"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."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"VMware provides a wide range of services that are second to none."
"This product enables us to replace all existing stores PDA running windows CE with iPod touch."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
 

Cons

"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"However, I dislike how it lags sometimes. I cannot work on multiple processes at the same time."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"Installing software in Microsoft Intune can be challenging if it is not already prepackaged."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"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."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"I tried to use the tool on an encrypted disk, but it was inconvenient."
"Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be."
"Many bugs with every version release of both the console and AirWatch Apps/products, often bringing back old documented issues in new releases."
"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

"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"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."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"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."
Information not available
"It's definitely a bit on the expensive side. It is more for smaller organizations and not large, massive enterprises. I am not sure about any additional costs. As far as we could tell, the billing was what the billing was."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved."
"The cost is a little bit high."
"The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."
"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable."
"It's a highly affordable solution"
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."
"Its pricing was okay for our company."
