BA
Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

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.
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

"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"Microsoft Intune has definitely reduced management burdens."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"Intune saves time, and it is very easy to use. It allows us to manage applications completely."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"The solution has proven to be very stable."
"When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
 

Cons

"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"Microsoft Intune is not as fast and extensive as traditional solutions such as SCCM and others."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"It could offer more attributes for authentication."
"The synchronization of devices takes a significant amount of time, between 15 minutes and two hours. Microsoft should work on reducing this sync time to improve efficiency."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"The application itself individuals are getting annoyed with it. They are looking to integrate with ABB applications regardless of whether it is Android or iOS based. We are wanting to shift from this application because of the integration issues we are facing."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."
"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"The price could be better."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"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."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"The pricing currently is higher than the competition."
"Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"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."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"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."
"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."
