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.

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.

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

"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."

"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified. We have all machines connected to it at all times, whether they are in the office or working from home."

"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."

"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."

"What I like most about the tool is that it's now very easy to set up a device for someone to use. It also helps us tremendously in managing security. Before, we used on-premise management with a domain controller. It was difficult to manage security comprehensively. For example, it was hard to know which computers were updated. We weren't able to do that easily with our previous solution."

"It has improved our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."

"It helps us manage user certificates."

"Microsoft Intune is brilliant for scalability and is excellent for scaling purposes."

More Microsoft Intune pros

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

"The company provides great customer service."

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

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

"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM pros

"This product enables us to replace all existing stores PDA running windows CE with iPod touch."

"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."

"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."

"The standard features and securities are packed with flexibilities to enable and disable in accordance with the customer’s business operational process and IT Helpdesk process."

"We find it to be reliable."

"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."

"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"Almost every day during the initial deployment, I would chat with technical support for solutions. They did not give me a suitable solution to solve the false positive alarms."

"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."

"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."

"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."

"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."

"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."

"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."

"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

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

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

"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."

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

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

"The initial setup should be simplified."

"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."

"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."

"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."

"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."

"We have experienced some connectivity issues."

"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."

"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."

"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."

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."

"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."

"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."

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"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."

"It's an expensive tool."

"I think that the price is reasonable."

"You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."

"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."

"For big users, it's around $500."

"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."

"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."

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."
