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.

Secure access is simplified with easy login for virtual machines
I am provisioning virtual machines for educational institutions such as schools and colleges. The access to these virtual machines is provided via Apache Guacamole Apache Guacamole is really easy to use. If I have ten virtual machines provisioned under my name, I can access them with a single…

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"The ability to deploy patches and automate software deployments to end-user devices is very useful."
"The main benefit for us with Microsoft Intune is centralized management of all devices, allowing us to apply one policy across the company from one location."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"This solution saves us a lot of time once it's implemented."
"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."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"It helps us manage user certificates."
"I'm using Apache Guacamole as a gateway."
"For those considering using Apache Guacamole, I wholeheartedly support its users since it's a free open-source software that is easy to download and use with no significant issues."
"Apache Guacamole is really easy to use."
"No issues with scalability."
"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."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."
"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 initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"It was easy to use."
"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."
 

Cons

"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"The mobile management is good for iPhone and iPad, but the Apple Mac management needs improvement. That is probably because Microsoft does not have low-level access to Apple Mac hardware. If you are doing basic things, it is okay, but if you want to image Apple Macs and do things like that, then Jamf is much better."
"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"We are currently unable to control aspects of group policy from Teams like we can for GPO. They are still not part of Intune. Microsoft is adding this, but it's currently in preview, and few GPO features have been added to the product."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization. Even though I can try customizing the GUI, the documentation is not comprehensive."
"The solution's USB redirection could be improved."
"There should be good documentation regarding GUI customization."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Pricing can be improved."
"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
Information not available
"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."
"You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."
"I think that the price is reasonable."
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
"The tool is expensive."
"It's a highly affordable solution"
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."
