Collaborations engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Everything has worked better since we started using it

Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Offers flexible application management that allows secure delivery of applications to endpoints, enabling users to operate applications on the go

VMware is also a part of our practice, but my focus is predominantly on Citrix, which constitutes about 80% of our management, with VMware covering the remaining percentage. VMware excels in server-related virtualization and is considered the best in that domain. However, for desktop virtualization, Citrix is more mature. Both offer comprehensive product support and robust security features, with extensive partnerships across hardware vendors like HP and Cisco. In terms of cons, VMware tends to be more expensive and complex, with some degree of vendor lock-in. Citrix, on the other hand, offers a better user experience and is more flexible and scalable. While both platforms have their features, Citrix has less licensing complexity compared to VMware, and support quality is comparable between the two.

Lorenzo Arcinue

IT Administrator at Zai

Feature-rich, easy to use, and has responsive technical support

We are working on the proof of concept for both MobileIron and Workspace ONE. We are only testing MobileIron and Workspace ONE. After that, we will decide which device to use. Workspace ONE by VMware Similarly, we will use MobileIron as a mobile device management tool, allowing us to manage our endpoints remotely. So far, we have not had any issues with VMware, and we have resolved some, if not all, of the issues. I have been testing with VMware Workspace ONE for the same amount of time as MobileIron UEM, three weeks. We are using the latest version, and it is deployed on a public cloud. The cloud provider is VMware. I have also been working with Google Chrome. Google Workspace is an email production tool provided by Google. We don't have a firewall because we're in the cloud right now. We have no on-premises network and all of our systems are hosted in the cloud.

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The company provides great customer service."

Cons

"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft. There are a few things I can still do with Jamf that I am unable to do with Intune yet."

"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."

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

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."

"The solution's app deployment needs to be improved."

"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."

"The support provided by Citrix needs improvement."

"I would rate Citrix Endpoint Management as two out of ten overall, due to the policy changes and the lack of significant features or stability improvements."

"The iOS version updates do not work as well as I would like."

"Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."

"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."

"Citrix often depends on other services like backend data centers, network security, and application firewalls. Issues in these areas can be misinterpreted as Citrix issues by users."

More Citrix Endpoint Management cons

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"Its pricing seems reasonable."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

"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."

"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."

"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."

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

"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The licensing costs vary depending on the customer and the licensing model. We have three main types: per-user, subscription, and concurrent user licenses, plus a user-based model."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
