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.

A tool that needs to improve scalability but is useful to manage user

There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance, including the separation of duties of the users. In my company, we are not able to create a policy for the separation of duties of the users, so it is an area where improvement is required. The official authentication and fingerprint authentication should be part of VMware Identity Manager, and I feel these areas are currently missing. The scalability of the product needs to improve. The product should be tightly integrated with the third-party products because it's not like a customer is going to purchase all the VMware products, as they might have different solutions for different purposes.

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

"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."

"Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security."

"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."

"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."

"It's easy to manage."

"The solution is stable."

"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."

"Stable solution at a good price."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The remote management and location capabilities are good."

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

"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."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It has good stability."

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

"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."

"The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."

"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."

"It's very easy to implement everything."

"I am completely satisfied with WSO2 Identity Server and would definitely recommend it to other companies."

"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."

"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."

"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."

More WSO2 Identity Server pros

Cons

"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."

"Sometimes, it takes time to synchronize the policies between the portal and the devices, you don't have a way to estimate how long it will take to deploy. You have some kind of gray area, where it can deploy in 30 minutes or three days."

"Customer service is not really good. I would give it a six out of ten. The main issue is the time it takes to get someone involved who truly understands what the product does."

"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."

"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."

"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."

"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."

"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."

"VMware Workspace ONE should allow certain common settings and restrictions across multiple operating systems."

"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."

"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."

"The console comes bunched together as a package and inbuilt. Its called Workspace ONE. Whenever we have an issue, we contact the service provider, and instead of a fix, we are just getting the next version of Workspace ONE."

"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."

"I tried to use the tool on an encrypted disk, but it was inconvenient."

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

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"I found the initial setup to be very complex."

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

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

"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."

"The high availability architecture has to be improved."

"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."

More WSO2 Identity Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."

"The Intune license model is costly."

"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."

"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."

"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."

"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."

"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."

"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"Pricing is an area that could be improved."

"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."

"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."

"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."

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

"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is expensive. However, for the features that are provided, the price is reasonable. There is a subscription to use the solution."

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

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

More Workspace ONE UEM pricing and cost advice

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

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

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

"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."

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

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
