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.

Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution
The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

Offers a valuable single sign-on feature and a user-friendly interface with outstanding scaling capabilities
The single sign-on feature, which integrates with the Identity Manager is one of the most vital features. The VMware Workspace ONE Tunnel is another crucial aspect of the solution. Authentication processes become seamless with the single sign-on feature of VMware Workspace ONE. Whether the application resides within the premises or outside, the users don't need to reenter the credentials, VMware Workspace ONE auto authenticates using scripts. The solution can also integrate the app catalog with the Intelligent Hub, which acts as the agent. Applications catalogs and similar aspects can be accessed through one single interface, whether it's from an Android, iOS, or Windows device. It's a very user-friendly tool in terms of accessibility.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"The security features are most definitely valuable. If I have to give an example, the lockdown features that prevent employees from configuring anything or downloading company data are valuable. We get high-quality device protection, malware protection, and information protection at the same time."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"The technical support is good."
"The solution is very quick to set up."
"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."
"The installation is almost instant."
"Workspace ONE has something like an orchestrator model that allows me to configure a set of steps to onboard new PCs, laptops, or tablets. So, it makes my work easy."
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"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."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
 

Cons

"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"Microsoft Intune can be improved by making it even more seamless for users to download their certificates."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"Intune could add more features that are relevant to the core application control functions. For example, it would be helpful if it had more control over the on-prem environment from the cloud platform. Greater Teams availability in the Saudi market would also be helpful."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."
"If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"VMware Workspace ONE sometimes has bugs that prevent it from working as intended or expected. Generally, these bugs can lead to unexpected results and hinder effectiveness."
"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."
"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."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
"We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."
"If you purchase it for one year, it is very expensive. If you get it for three years or up to five years, then you can bargain a better price."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."
"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable."
"AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month. Microsoft bundles everything, and then that bundling makes the product free for the customers."
"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."
