Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged
The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

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.

Trainer/Consultant at Koenig Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
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

"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The company provides great customer service."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"Microsoft Intune is extremely important from a security perspective to ensure devices are compliant and gives us the efficiency to deploy apps automatically to a large number of users without the need for interaction from a client side, which is always helpful."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The feature of remotely wiping devices in Microsoft Intune is what I prefer the most."
"Customer Service: Excellent customer service. Technical Support: Excellent technical support."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices, as we can track Android devices and cross-functional devices in Workspace ONE in a simplified platform for managing all of our devices."
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user."
 

Cons

"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."
"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."
"I also found the UI to be quite complicated to work with, so it takes quite a bit of time to train any new staff and to get them to understand how the solution works."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"Its integration with Mac and Linux devices can be better. They should provide more features similar to Windows. We should be able to manage policies within Linux and Mac machines. If we can have more granular controls for these two operating systems, it will be really helpful."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great; they don't give a lot of meaning so far."
"Customer Service: This is an area that could use some improvement. We have had a few incidents where the level of support was not what it was pictured to be."
"If you install an AirWatch on a phone that is not too powerful, you will have performance issues."
"In terms of pricing, this solution is definitely much more expensive compared to other solutions, like MobileIron or MaaS360 or any other product in the market."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"It was a bit complex on the setting up of the policy, at first."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"Using the solution on Android requires a special setup, the mobile SSO doesn't work as well."
"Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"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."
"For the moment, we have a multi-year contract, meaning that we cannot go with a different solution at this time even if the price should prove more favorable."
"If you have a host of custom requirements (including licensing), make sure to set aside enough time for the initial setup because it can take up to a few weeks depending on how complex your environment is."
"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."
"I think that the price is reasonable."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"For big users, it's around $500."
"It's an expensive tool."
