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.

I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on

I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."

"Microsoft Intune has helped us by improving our security posture, leading to fewer security problems, and helping us understand where we have issues."

"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."

"The core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates."

"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."

"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."

"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."

"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."

"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."

"Good at managing updates and for remote support."

"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."

"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."

"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."

"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."

"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."

More NinjaOne pros

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

"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."

"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."

"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."

"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."

"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."

"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."

"The most valuable features of VMware Workspace ONE are security and having support for all the latest features that are coming out from Apple. They're pretty fast at adopting new features. This is one of the most vital aspects of mobile device management systems."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."

"The security aspect could be more effective. We are using other applications to manage network devices and groups, so if Microsoft Intune could improve in this area, especially on a network level, it would be a real advantage."

"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."

"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."

"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device."

"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."

"Although Intune is from the same provider, its integration with other Microsoft products, like Microsoft Defender or Microsoft Purview, could be improved."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."

"The graphical user interface could be improved."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."

"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."

"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

More NinjaOne cons

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

"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."

"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."

"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."

"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."

"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."

"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."

"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."

"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 needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."

"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."

"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."

"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."

"Its pricing is great."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."

More NinjaOne pricing and cost advice

"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."

"I think that the price is reasonable."

"We pay approximately thirty to thirty-five euros per device per month for the complete suite, and this is a fixed cost with one, three, or five-year licensing in advance. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, making it affordable."

"The tool is expensive."

"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."

"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."

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."

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

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."
