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.

Effortless policy management with built-in simplicity that enhances user experience
I work in kiosk delivery for my users' laptops and cellular phones It's very easy to use. It's very comfortable to work on Hexnode since its form and usage are very simple. The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer…

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

"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Our configuration profiles used to be all over the place. For example, there's a lot of legacy stuff in Active Directory. Going through Intune has helped us enforce settings, which has improved device security and functionality. When you apply something through Intune, you know it works. You don't have to worry about a legacy setting from Active Directory that was uploaded by somebody seven years ago. With Intune, you can see that a device has a setting, and you can be confident that the device is configured how you want."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"The feature I find most valuable in Microsoft Intune is being able to configure policies and push them directly to mobile phones."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"It's very easy to use."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"The solution has proven to be very stable."
"The solution can scale."
"One of the features that I enjoyed most was the integration with Azure AD because I could use VMware Identity Manager to standardize the User Principal Name coming from Active Directory. You have Azure AD Connect to do that. In between, if you have vIDM handling it, you can easily get the synchronization of users into your VM and standardize the User Principal Name. If you require quality assurance for handling it, you can actually count on the vIDM to do so. That was one of the main things I enjoyed about the product."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the security policies."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"I rate Microsoft customer service six out of 10. While some technicians go above and beyond, there is inconsistency, and connecting with the most helpful representatives is occasionally challenging."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"Setup is not too complex."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome."
"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."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
Information not available
"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
"We pay approximately $6.50 per user for the standard version. If you are paying for an enterprise license that includes VDI then it will cost approximately $25 per user on a monthly basis."
"While it is not inexpensive in terms of price, it is definitely worth it."
"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."
"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is expensive. However, for the features that are provided, the price is reasonable. There is a subscription to use the solution."
"We pay approximately thirty to thirty-five euros per device per month for the complete suite, and this is a fixed cost with one, three, or five-year licensing in advance. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, making it affordable."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."
