Offers a seamless user experience with full visibility that helps reduce security risks
Microsoft Intune has been instrumental in helping facilitate remote work. Microsoft Intune brings our endpoint and security management tools into one place. Microsoft Intune provides full visibility and IT control across our device platforms. The Microsoft Intune user experience is seamless. The users are not affected by the control we have over the devices. Enforcing privilege access using the privilege management feature allows us to quickly address the user's service requests. Microsoft Intune has helped reduce the risk of security breaches. This control over our devices reduces the attack surface and makes them more secure. Microsoft Intune has helped consolidate our vendors making it easier to administer control. Intune suite's ability to integrate with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security for all managed devices is important and makes managing them easier.

It has allowed us to manage many different mobile device platforms all through a single pane of glass
There are a lot of features. Some of the features that I find most valuable are how we can manage devices by device model, device type, and operating system. We can create device groups, user groups, and control. We can push special policies based on user end device groups, so this is a very important feature for me, because it allows me to separate different vendor devices and be able to report on them and control how we manage them. In terms of flexibility, it is another level of functionality which you can provide for addressing a variety of business requirements, from managing mobile devices to pulling applications. It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle: How the business wants to use it, how it is installed by technical teams, and how it is supported. It is flexible. There is a cloud offering, as well, which we have not tried.

Feature-rich, easy to use, and has responsive technical support
We are working on the proof of concept for both MobileIron and Workspace ONE. We are only testing MobileIron and Workspace ONE. After that, we will decide which device to use. Workspace ONE by VMware Similarly, we will use MobileIron as a mobile device management tool, allowing us to manage our endpoints remotely. So far, we have not had any issues with VMware, and we have resolved some, if not all, of the issues. I have been testing with VMware Workspace ONE for the same amount of time as MobileIron UEM, three weeks. We are using the latest version, and it is deployed on a public cloud. The cloud provider is VMware. I have also been working with Google Chrome. Google Workspace is an email production tool provided by Google. We don't have a firewall because we're in the cloud right now. We have no on-premises network and all of our systems are hosted in the cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"The containerization of the BlackBerry Dynamics is the most important thing for us. It allows us to keep personal and corporate data separate on a personal device. It allows us to wipe the corporate data while leaving all the personal data in place."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"It allows me to be able to access my email when I do not necessarily have my computer with me. I can also access my calendar when I am on public transport or outside of the office."
"The technical support for the solution is excellent."
"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."
"The most important feature is Blackberry Work, for sure, because that is where you have email."
"It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable. Having access to your emails in a secure way is one of the most important features of this solution. Blackberry ensures data security, and as a user, I can use it while on roaming or wherever I am."
"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 user interface is user-friendly."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The company provides great customer service."
 

Cons

"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"As far as being able to remotely wipe a device, or remove it from the console, this is not simple to do. It is not a one-click motion, as it requires several steps."
"The installations on the device could be simpler. It is a good solution, and all the features are there. So, there isn't a lot to improve. I'm sure they already have their thought process on how to improve it."
"The entry level support needs improvement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that we do not have premium support. Therefore, we have to go through Level 1 support for any issues."
"We cannot integrate BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise. BlackBerry Edit has issues when we are editing any document. We have other internal applications that we can use for documents, but we cannot edit into BlackBerry Edit. There's room for improvement with editing documents."
"The pain points for us would be the activation."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way for team members to get onboarded in regards to what they have to do on the device. There are some programs like Apple DEP and Samsung Knox. Unfortunately, with these programs, to get existing users onto them, you have to factory wipe your device. If it did not have the DEP capabilities, it would be nicer if it did not have so many steps to go through. That is our biggest complaint from team members. It has too many steps."
"I know for the BlackBerry Connect, our users want to see more features, such as audio and video. I know the current version doesn't have that."
"I would like to see better integration with our AD. Instead of having to use Active Directory groups, we'd like to use Active Directory attributes instead. There is a lot of overhead in managing. Whereas, if we could key on something tied to HR, or some other feed indicating who they are or what role they have, and manage them that way, that would be much preferable than having to manage people with Active Directory groups. Because, if people move roles, then we have to make sure that we move them from one Active Directory group to another, which is hands-on, a lot of overhead."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."
"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."
"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."
"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."
"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."
"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."
"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."
"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
