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

"Using this product has completely stopped DLP, so people cannot take material off of corporate machines or corporate imagines, and that's a huge benefit."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"It works pretty well for us."
"Microsoft Intune is brilliant for scalability and is excellent for scaling purposes."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"It is absolutely a positive investment."
"Microsoft Intune is a great product, and you should use it."
"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."
"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."
"Support is helpful and responsive."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The solution includes support for remote work. It also features identity management. This setup supports our users remotely by providing default monitoring and tunneling into our environment, eliminating the need for additional VPN software to access backend applications and staff resources."
"The solution was easy to deploy."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product that can do many things."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."
"I use this solution to generate keystores and certifications and link these with project development in our company."
"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."
"We use the solution for customer identity management, authenticating customers coming in through a web portal."
"We are able to use this tool to better secure next generation data centers, which use software defined networks."
"Comprehensive ecosystem."
 

Cons

"I find the price for Microsoft Intune too high, which represents an area for improvement in Microsoft's pricing model."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"Some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities."
"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."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"The pricing could always be better."
"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."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"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."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."
"The price of the solution is costly for the number of users I am using it for."
"It's an expensive tool."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"If you have a host of custom requirements (including licensing), make sure to set aside enough time for the initial setup because it can take up to a few weeks depending on how complex your environment is."
"Our organization has stopped using the solution because it was expensive."
"The tool is expensive."
"At this time we are working with the open-source version."
"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."
"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."
"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."
"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."
"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."
