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.
Vishal Bhatia - PeerSpot reviewer
Trainer/Consultant at Koenig Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
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

"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 changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
"Teleport changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."
"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 has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical 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%."
"Teleport definitely reduced the risks; we are no longer exposing root-level accounts for people that are meant to have an elevated account."
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally."
"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"The solution was easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"The feature with the highest rating for me is its employee management. I can also praise how versatile it is in terms of operating systems. It has good support for multiple operating systems and can easily manage them all. Not just that, but it can also support any kind of tool that can be run on all these operating systems."
 

Cons

"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."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"I rate it a seven because, as I mentioned, there is a security threat regarding clipboard access."
"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."
"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."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"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."
"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"We have had a need to move the database, and that was fairly difficult as documentation was sparse, and the first support technican said AirWatch would need re-installed."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."

"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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."
"For the moment, we have a multi-year contract, meaning that we cannot go with a different solution at this time even if the price should prove more favorable."
"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
