Centralized access has strengthened security and simplified day-to-day infrastructure operations
Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration. Beyond onboarding and RBAC complexity, there are areas that could be enhanced from an integration perspective. While SSO integration works well, deeper out-of-the-box integrations with SIEM and monitoring tools would be beneficial.

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

"Regarding how Teleport has positively impacted my organization, I have learned a lot of things through it, I understand how to deliver and receive content, and I have learned many things related to RF signals where we lose packets."
"Teleport changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
"I would definitely advise others looking into using Teleport to try it out if they are seeking a tunneling or proxying solution to streamline obtaining access without dealing with DNS or SSH, as it is straightforward to install, can be tested in various environments, and is a truly exceptional product that is easy to use."
"Teleport has positively impacted my organization by being very helpful for productivity and team collaboration, especially since the old tool we used took a lot of time to get approvals."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
"The best features include its main capabilities such as collecting actions and showing others what you did on the server, an easy way to connect to any bare-metal servers, and the ability to describe which servers you can use and who can connect to these servers."
"Teleport has helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime, and our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%."
"Overall, we've been very happy with VMware."
"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view."
"The contained browser is a good feature."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"The benefit is that it helps our remote connections be as secure as possible, and being able to issue mobile devices increases productivity."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"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."
"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."
 

Cons

"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."
"I think it should have less complexity to set up on self-hosted because it is still a difficult process and I spend a lot of time using it on self-host."
"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration."
"Sometimes our devices do not reflect the error, and then we work on why it is not showing any alarm or issue, even though we experience distortion or issues on the TS."
"I rate it a seven because, as I mentioned, there is a security threat regarding clipboard access."
"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"The pricing could always be better."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
"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."
"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is an area that could be improved."
"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable."
"We pay approximately $6.50 per user for the standard version. If you are paying for an enterprise license that includes VDI then it will cost approximately $25 per user on a monthly basis."
"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."
"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
"For most of the projects, we use the standard license but for complex ones, we use the older type of processes, integrations, and licenses inside the solution."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."
