Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Intune include remote updates. The update runs in the background, so there's no need in most cases to go on-site to do it."

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

"Within Intune, managing policies and having a consistent way to manage devices is valuable."

"Intune is a very good product and everything is cloud-based, and it provides a very simple unified platform to manage everything from the single management console."

"Autopilot is one of the best features because we can use it during remote migration and it especially helps in this pandemic situation where we don't need any end-user computing engineer support."

"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."

"Third party integrations are very convenient to use with Microsoft Intune."

"If any user tries to access company data, it directly interacts with the conditional access policy. This helps us protect our data and set the criteria for how data can be accessed and shared."

More Microsoft Intune pros

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

"The company provides great customer service."

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

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

"We have very good technical support; when we had big issues, the support was fantastic, I have nothing to complain about, and it was important for us to have that level of security from the company."

"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."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM pros

"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."

"If a customer requires a true solution then I would say VMware is the right choice."

"Valuable features of this solution are the device management and the good integration with third parties."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."

"The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."

"Generally, I am satisfied with VMware because they have been quite responsive in terms of the kind of challenges that we have in the Central African region."

"We decided to go with it and stick with it; it served the purpose in my previous organization and is also serving the purpose in this organization."

"The Organization group approach they have taken to manage both Device and Administrative access has helped in providing administrators with a way to separate devices based on business use cases."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."

"I rate Microsoft support between six to eight. The support often involves third parties hired by Microsoft who are knowledgeable, but sometimes the help I receive is not adequate."

"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."

"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."

"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."

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

"I find the solution quite old school with not many features."

"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

"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."

"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."

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

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

"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

"vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding. Since the integration has been at top-level OGs, you were not able to then do rebranding if you were required to use specific user groups to highlight specific applications. At the time, I was personally opening feature requests for these things. I haven't worked with the latest release, so I don't know if these features were already deployed or not."

"Integration with Microsoft needs improvement. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization."

"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."

"It hasn’t always been good, but getting better."

"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions."

"Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit."

"The solution needs to adapt to the cloud based reality of the current world model. Some customers may have reluctance to this, but it is the next level for all of the big providers. Azure, AWS and Google are all on the forefront of cloud-based solutions."

"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."

"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."

"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."

"Microsoft licenses are costly."

"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."

"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"Pricing is an area that could be improved."

"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Its pricing was okay for our company."

"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."

"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."

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

"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."
