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

"Easy to use."

"What I appreciate the most about Microsoft Intune is that it's quick and easy to use from an authenticator perspective. There is simplicity in securing our platform. Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration."

"Microsoft Intune simplifies device management by replacing the traditional method of installing OS, joining a domain, and configuring everything manually."

"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."

"Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements."

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"Microsoft Intune not only saves costs by reducing the number of personnel needed but also offers a comprehensive solution for managing laptops, applications, security, individual access, and enrollment."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."

"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."

"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 solution's single plane of glass approach is beneficial. The endpoint management is very good and specific. One of their competitors is Intune, and you have leaks from other services within the Microsoft ecosystem."

"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is the support for multiple devices. Not only iOS, and Android, but all kinds of platforms, including VR device management. Additionally, it has a tunneling feature, which no other solution provides. Other solutions have to integrate with other tools to have this functionality, whereas VMware Workspace ONE has its own application gateway tunnel."

"The most valuable features of VMware Workspace ONE are security and having support for all the latest features that are coming out from Apple. They're pretty fast at adopting new features. This is one of the most vital aspects of mobile device management systems."

"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."

"Good device management and good integration with third parties."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

"It's very easy to implement everything."

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

"Comprehensive ecosystem."

"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."

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

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

"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 is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."

"One thing I would suggest is that servers are not getting managed through Microsoft Intune."

"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."

"From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful."

"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."

"We had an APNS certificate set to expire last week. We tried to renew it two days before it expired. We logged in to the APNS portal but could not find that certificate. We didn't know where it went. All the iOS devices stopped working. We contacted the Apple and Microsoft teams, and each blamed the other. This is something that Microsoft should take care of. Last week, we had so many escalations from high-profile users who couldn't access corporate data on their devices."

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

"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."

"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."

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

"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."

"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."

"We have experienced some connectivity issues."

"The portal is not user-friendly."

"The initial setup should be simplified."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

More WSO2 Identity Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."

"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."

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

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

"The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."

"Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be."

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

"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."

"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."

"In terms of pricing, this solution is definitely much more expensive compared to other solutions, like MobileIron or MaaS360 or any other product in the market. This solution is more expensive by 30 or 40 percent."

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

More Workspace ONE UEM pricing and cost advice

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

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

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

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

"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."

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

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.
