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.

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.

Utilizing key management and seamless single sign-on integration for enhanced user profile management

WSO2 Identity Server's key management feature stands out as a particularly impactful feature for enhancing security. Additionally, from a user perspective, the self-user portal and user profile management capabilities are highly valuable. It allows users to manage their profiles, change passwords, and offers a self-care portal type of functionality. The single sign-on capability integrates seamlessly with various platforms, including Google, Facebook, LDAP, and Active Directory, which supports rapid product launches.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's easy to manage."

"Autopilot is definitely the most valuable feature for me, because as an MSP supporting some clients with 300 to 400 users, once it is configured correctly we use Microsoft Intune so that when a laptop is sent directly to a remote user they just log in with their email address and password and their machine is ready to go with Wi-Fi, SharePoint access, OneDrive backup, Outlook, and all the applications they need automatically configured and deployed."

"The biggest asset is the range of device management options available with Intune, whether it is a Windows device, a Linux device, a Mac device, or mobile devices."

"The best part of Intune is device control. If we need to block a user from opening something in their organization's system, we can do it from Intune. If we want to restrict the movement of an organization's data to prevent users from copying the data into Outlook, WhatsApp, or their personal Gmail, we can limit that via Intune. It secures all corporate data."

"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."

"We have ROI because we are retiring AirWatch, so we're spending less and making the most of the free stuff."

"Intune makes it possible for us to reach all the endpoints and have them protected at all times."

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

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The feature with the highest rating for me is its employee management, and I can also praise how versatile it is in terms of operating systems, with good support for multiple operating systems that it can easily manage while supporting any kind of tool that can be run on all these operating systems."

"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."

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

"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."

"Overall, we've been very happy with VMware."

"People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly."

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

"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."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."

"The solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."

"Comprehensive ecosystem."

"We use the solution for customer identity management, authenticating customers coming in through a web portal."

"It's very easy to implement everything."

"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."

"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On, and overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."

"We are able to use this tool to better secure next generation data centers, which use software defined networks."

More WSO2 Identity Server pros

Cons

"I have not been satisfied with it, and I am planning to change it soon. There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."

"I think if you have the money and want something more stable, you should go for AirWatch. I don't think Microsoft is offering the same stability as VMware at this point."

"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."

"They need to integrate more with security options."

"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."

"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."

"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."

"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature."

"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions."

"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."

"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."

"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."

"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."

"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."

"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."

"First, improvements have to been made in the high availability architecture. This has to do with the master-slave replication, and how the load balancing is handled between the identity servers."

"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."

"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."

"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."

"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."

"The high availability architecture has to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."

"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."

"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."

"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."

"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."

"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."

"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."

"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."

"VMware Workspace ONE is not cheap; it's quite expensive. However, in the end, they gave us a reasonable price."

"I think that the price is reasonable."

"While it is not inexpensive in terms of price, it is definitely worth it."

"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."

"The price of the solution is costly for the number of users I am using it for."

"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."

More Workspace ONE UEM pricing and cost advice

"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."

"I rate the product price an eight out of ten. There is a need to pay more for the extra features provided by the solution."

"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."

"At this time we are working with the open-source version."

Reviews from Real Users

Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."

Omnissa
