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.

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.
Vishal Bhatia - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Microsoft Intune is easy to use, and it is able to enforce policies towards multiple devices. It is able to bring multiple classes of devices into the same security posture. I found that very useful."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"Our bank's most valuable Intune features are centered around the dedicated device concept."
"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"I would rate the overall solution as a 10."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"A very easy to use solution."
"The Workspace ONE UEM interface is very easy to understand; there are not many doubts regarding configuration and providing use cases, so it's good."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
 

Cons

"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Intune can be improved by making it even more seamless for users to download their certificates."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"Microsoft Intune has potential for improvement; I would like to see a lot more customization in the reporting tools."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."
"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."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
Information not available
"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."
"Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"It's an expensive tool."
"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It is quite expensive, but I think large companies have agreements with these organizations that provide remote monitoring for phones, and they get massive discounts. The public price does not reflect what they pay. You won't get the same pricing if you're buying for 10 employees versus 1,000 employees. On the public price, you get perhaps a 10% discount, but if you're buying 1,000, the discount could be really massive, especially if you signed a contract for a number of years."
"Its pricing was okay for our company."
