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.

Useful tunneling, beneficial enterprise integration, and priced well
The scalability of MobileIron UEM is good for on-premise and cloud deployments. MobileIron UEM has given the customer the ability to manage how many devices they have. If they have more than 10,000 devices, they need to upgrade the server. For example, they might need to upgrade the CPU or memory, et cetera. We have approximately 5,000 to 10,000 users using this solution.
Emthias Abdul Salam - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"First of all, the integration with the rest of Microsoft's products is a major win."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"The ability to deploy patches and automate software deployments to end-user devices is very useful."
"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."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"The company provides great customer service."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"It has good stability."
"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
 

Cons

"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"I want more secure, reliable, and efficient security policies."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"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."
"At this time, I do not have any areas for improvement. I have heard about some downtime, but I am not in the local IT team."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."
"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 integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"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."
"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."
"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"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."
"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."
"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 think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"It's a highly affordable solution"
"We are paying about $145,000 a year on a three-year subscription with no ability to scale up or scale down within that class model."
"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."
"We've purchased various licenses for VMware Workspace ONE, including premium and gold tiers. These licenses include security measures and support for managing telecom expenses like data and voice usage."
