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 most important part is that they're fast in implementing and integrating with the Windows operating system, as well as how it integrates with other Office 365 products."
"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that we are able to send application deployments and certifications for conditional access."
"When a user receives the machine, sets it up, and turns it on, it connects to the domain and begins installing software, becoming ready within approximately half an hour, which represents a significant time savings for IT departments."
"The features of Microsoft Intune that I appreciate the most are its user-friendly interface and robust security options."
"The best features of Microsoft Intune include continuous implementation of new capabilities each year, covering almost everything."
"Endpoint Manager has been around the longest, it's survived, it's matured and it's the top dog in general."
"It is a cloud-based service. It is easy to use and offers privacy."
"There are various MDM vendors, and I've used at least five of them, and the reason I prefer AirWatch is simply because it helps me to think more in terms of a future perspective and has given me the right tools for my enterprise."
"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."
"We provide smooth access with mobile SSO to these solutions with one click."
"It provides a single page where you can log in to all of your applications, saving time and simplifying work because all of our users can use all the applications from any platform and work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections."
"It was easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"Support is helpful and responsive."
"The solution scalability is very good, and we have clients mostly in medium to large-scale enterprises, with some large customers having approximately 1,300 devices using the solution."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"Comprehensive ecosystem."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"The feature that I found most valuable was the ecosystem, which is very comprehensive and allowed me to find the components that I wanted to use, including the identity server and the API."
"I am completely satisfied with WSO2 Identity Server and would definitely recommend it to other companies."
"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 use this solution to generate keystores and certifications and link these with project development in our company."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune has potential for improvement; I would like to see a lot more customization in the reporting tools."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"I would like more clarity on how Intune is migrating control from Active Directory group policies, especially as we move over to Windows 11. It seems inefficient to manage some settings in Active Directory and others in Intune."
"It is not very stable. Sometimes, it works instantly, and sometimes, something goes wrong, and you get stuck there."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Microsoft needs to strategize its licensing structure. When using Microsoft Intune, we bought a small scale of controls, only controlling part of the devices, though Microsoft Intune can do much more. The Intune Suite offers more features, allowing extensive integration with either internal or cloud environments without requiring third-party licensing. However, each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."
"VMware should develop an integrated platform for their security products to give a singular integrated and holistic view of the devices covered by different security products whether Workspace One or Carbon Black."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature."
"VMware Workspace ONE can improve in virtual reality. Customers are now looking toward virtual reality devices. Though it supports virtual reality, it's treated as an Android device. Customers want to deal with VR devices, they want a specific VR tool. Not an Android device VR tool."
"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."
"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases."
"There could be improvement with processing the environment to be more user friendly for the end user."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."
"The high availability architecture has to be improved."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally."
"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."
"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."
"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."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"The price of the solution is costly for the number of users I am using it for."
"We are paying about $145,000 a year on a three-year subscription with no ability to scale up or scale down within that class model."
"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."
"The tool is expensive."
"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."
"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."
"At this time we are working with the open-source version."
"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."
