Joseph Merusi

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.

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.

Technical Manager at Emirates Business Machines (EBM)

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

"The cloud base is perfect for me."

"The feature I find most valuable in Microsoft Intune is being able to configure policies and push them directly to mobile phones."

"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."

"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."

"Intune has significantly benefited our organization by providing comprehensive visibility into our device ecosystem."

"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."

"One of our clients migrated the model workplace based on Intune, achieving a 78 percent cost reduction, which is quite a lot."

"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

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

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

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

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The company provides great customer service."

"The solution has very good documentation."

"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."

"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."

"The contained browser is a good feature."

"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."

"The Client Control feature in VMware Workspace ONE is most valuable for managing client devices, including mobile devices and laptops. Another impactful feature is the per-service tooling, allowing access to the data centre on a per-application basis. We use the complete VMware stack, integrating Horizon for application delivery and Carbon Black for endpoint protection. We have outsourced our device management, which streamlines our IT tasks as our supplier handles them competitively."

"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."

"Good device management and good integration with third parties."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."

"Intune could be enhanced by automating application upgrades, similar to how it automates operating system upgrades."

"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do."

"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."

"Intune should improve the management of non-Microsoft devices. It would be better to manage Mac, Android, and other non-Microsoft operating system devices within the same Intune interface."

"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."

"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."

"The reporting part needs improvement, and it would be beneficial if it could integrate with third-party tools instead of just Power BI."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

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

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

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"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."

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

"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."

"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."

"I would like to see more service notifications."

"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."

"It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."

"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution."

"it's very dependent on an active directory"

"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."

"The solution is cost-efficient."

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."

"The pricing needs improvement."

"Microsoft licenses are costly."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"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."

"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."

"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."

"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 most of the projects, we use the standard license but for complex ones, we use the older type of processes, integrations, and licenses inside the solution."

"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."

"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."

"Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD."

Reviews from Real Users

Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
