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

"The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints."

"These capabilities have made a significant impact in my work, providing a comprehensive view of all devices and features in a single platform."

"Intune is valuable for managing various endpoints and integrating with the Azure cloud, which is essential for our organization."

"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."

"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."

"Mobile device management is most valuable."

"Using Azure and Intune has helped us resolve most of these issues, as we no longer need a physical infrastructure to manage systems and can push policies remotely while maintaining control over the devices."

"We were trying to solve many issues, mainly the lack of centralized management. Before Microsoft Intune, we had to manually support devices one by one, installing applications and configuring policies individually. When we implemented the tool, it became much easier to manage our devices. We enroll them in Microsoft Intune and can manage all devices with a few clicks. For application management, it's the same process. If we want to deploy applications to hundreds or thousands of devices, we can do it easily with just a few clicks. This also applies to policies."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."

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

"The feature with the highest rating for me is its employee management. I can also praise how versatile it is in terms of operating systems. It has good support for multiple operating systems and can easily manage them all. Not just that, but it can also support any kind of tool that can be run on all these operating systems."

"The solution was easy to deploy."

"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."

"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."

"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."

"The location and remote management services are the most valuable."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

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

"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."

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

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

"Comprehensive ecosystem."

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

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

More WSO2 Identity Server pros

Cons

"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."

"The pricing could be improved."

"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device."

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

"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."

"We've faced significant pushback with Copilot as our clients aren't seeing a favorable cost-benefit analysis."

"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."

"The solution needs to adapt to the cloud based reality of the current world model. Some customers may have reluctance to this, but it is the next level for all of the big providers. Azure, AWS and Google are all on the forefront of cloud-based solutions."

"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."

"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."

"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."

"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."

"It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."

"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

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

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

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

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

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

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

More WSO2 Identity Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."

"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."

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

"Its pricing seems reasonable."

"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."

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

"It's a highly affordable solution"

"We've purchased various licenses for VMware Workspace ONE, including premium and gold tiers. These licenses include security measures and support for managing telecom expenses like data and voice usage."

"The cost is a little bit high."

"Its pricing was okay for our company."

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

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

More Workspace ONE UEM pricing and cost advice

"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."

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

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

"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
