Workspace ONE UEM Reviews

I use VMware Workspace ONE for client and device management. This includes managing mobile devices and laptops.

The Client Control feature in VMware Workspace ONE is most valuable for managing client devices, including mobile devices and laptops. Another impactful feature is the per-service tooling, allowing access to the data centre on a per-application basis. We use the complete VMware stack, integrating Horizon for application delivery and Carbon Black for endpoint protection. We have outsourced our device management, which streamlines our IT tasks as our supplier handles them competitively.

VMware Workspace ONE sometimes has bugs that prevent it from working as intended or expected. Generally, these bugs can lead to unexpected results and hinder effectiveness.

I have been using VMware Workspace ONE for four years.

I would rate it a seven out of ten in terms of stability. It is challenging to stabilise it, but once it's running, it runs well. The challenge comes from the complexity of our organisation and some unexpected results from VMware. A more straightforward environment would likely experience fewer stability issues.

It delivers as expected, providing what you would anticipate from such a tool. Currently, we have about four thousand devices under management, and we use it extensively as our primary tool for application delivery. If it doesn't work, the whole organization comes to a halt.

I would rate the scalability of VMware Workspace ONE as an eight out of ten.

VMware's support organization is speedy, providing fixes quickly. I've mostly had positive interactions with them.

Before using VMware Workspace ONE, we used the Microsoft SCCM solution, but it was getting old. We decided to switch to Workspace ONE because of its capabilities and pricing. We also evaluated the Microsoft suite before choosing VMware.

I would rate my experience with the initial setup of VMware Workspace ONE as a five out of ten.

It's a mix between the complexity of our environment and the complexity of the tool. Our challenges were stability in the environment and ensuring all functional use cases were delivered through Workspace ONE.

The solution is deployed in a hybrid environment, with VMware Workspace ONE in the cloud and tunnelling in our on-premises data centre. We are also transitioning to Microsoft Azure for our cloud solutions.

We have noticed a return on investment, as it is easier for users to use, provides more flexibility, and offers better security compliance with regulations.

 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.

I would rate VMware Workspace ONE as a seven out of ten. I advise others to look into usingWorkspace ONE to find a suitable partner with extensive product knowledge.

The product enables us to access our internal applications through any device from anywhere.

It's a very good technology. If I’m in Saudi Arabia today and in the USA tomorrow, I can access our internal applications without any downtime. I can access our office application through mobile phones, laptops, or other personal devices. People suffered losses during COVID-19. The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world.

Compared to Microsoft, VMware Workspace ONE must improve many things. The VMware Workspace ONE portal is too complicated. The portal is not user-friendly. Accessing the web-based application is complicated. Registering devices is very difficult.

VMware Workspace ONE must be improved a lot. Searching the menu is very difficult. Everything is too complicated. People prefer immediate results, but it is not easy to find things on VMware Workspace ONE. Unified Access Gateway and UEM are very difficult. The menu and options are not visible properly.

I have been using the solution for almost three years.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. The installation is not complicated. We are using it on the cloud. The on-premises solution is not available for the past two to three years. The vendor provides guidelines for installation. It is very easy.

The tool is expensive. VMware products are always expensive.

Microsoft Intune’s portal is more user-friendly than VMware Workspace ONE’s portal. We can register devices on Microsoft Intune within a second. I'm more happy with Microsoft Intune.

Hypervisor and vCenter are good solutions. I will not recommend the solution to others. VMware Workspace ONE has to improve a lot compared to other vendors. Overall, I rate the product a three out of ten.

I use the solution in my company for use cases where we need a tool that allows for easy management, especially in areas like mobile management.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. VMware Workspace ONE is an advanced tool compared to the other EMMs in the market.

VMware Workspace ONE is a bit complicated to configure for our company's customers, especially when compared to the other EMMs in the market.

The usability provided by VMware Workspace ONE is an area of concern where improvements are required.

I have been using VMware Workspace ONE for five years. My company operates as a system integrator.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Users have to go through multiple steps to expand the usage of the product on more than one system in their environment. You have to go through multiple steps if you want to pass through mobile and use a PC before opting for iOS or Android.

My company deals with and sells Samsung as an EMM tool.

The product's initial setup phase was quite complex.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The time required to deploy the solution depends on the type of configuration and the kind of devices managed in an environment. In general, it may take a couple of days to deploy the solution.

Depending on the requirements of users, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product.

VMware Workspace ONE helps my company with mobile device and application management in a good way. VMware Workspace ONE is not the first EMM tool I have dealt with in my company.

VMware Workspace ONE improves the remote workforce productivity of our company's customers.

The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions.

Personally, I would not recommend others to use the tool. My company can provide the product to those customers who want to use it, but if they ask us to suggest alternate solutions, I would recommend the other EMM tools in the market.

I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

We use the product to manage the device.

The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle.

The product’s most valuable feature is the instant synchronization. It swiftly synchronizes changes made on mobile devices.

They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security. Additionally, they should enable data copy-paste restrictions for professional accounts.

We have been using VMware Workspace ONE for nine years.

I rate the platform’s stability a nine out of ten. I have encountered a few downtime issues.

The platform has good scalability. We have installed it on nine endpoints in our organization.

The technical support team takes a longer time to respond to queries.

Neutral

The initial setup is easy. I follow the user guide for installation steps. It takes a month to complete. It is not very complicated to maintain.

I implement the product myself.

Compared to Intune, Workspace ONE provides a faster synchronization feature.

The product’s feature that significantly improved employee productivity is the seamless access to documents from anywhere.

The platform’s unified endpoint management capability significantly aids in simplifying IT operations. It enables centralized management of application updates. Moreover, the security features, especially the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) functionality, have significantly impacted our data protection strategy.

We have integrated the application with Office 365 for compliance purposes. It helps us manage conditional access to the services. It has improved the security status.

I recommend VMware Workspace ONE to others and rate it an eight out of ten.

I'm using the solution to manage all cabinets in our company. It's essential for our business. 

We chose this solution as it's more in line with the business solution security of devices in our company. We moved devices to this solution to experiment with it to see if it's the best possible solution in terms of security. So far, it's been good. 

It's a more secure solution to manage all tablets or mobile devices. It helps us stay organized and integrates well with mobile devices and tablets. 

It's stable and reliable.

The solution can scale.

We'd like the customization to be better.

It would be ideal if the interface was better to make it easier to manage all devices. 

We'd always like more features and functionality in the future as the solution continues to progress. 

I've used the solution for one year. 

The solution was stable. There were no bugs or glitches and it didn't crash or freeze. We find it to be reliable. 

We started by managing 200 tablets. We'll be expanding usage in the coming months. We'll likely reach a maximum of 400 tablets.

We have 150 people on the solution currently.

I get support from a third party, not directly from the product. The support I get is in my country, in Egypt, and that's better as it's local. 

I used Microsoft Intune previously, and it was difficult for me. I switched as this solution was simpler. 

The initial setup was not complicated. There may be a bit of difficulty in connecting all the components together. However, I have a year of experience, so, for me, it wasn't hard. It gets easier with time. Likely in five more years, it will be even simpler to deploy. I had some additional documentation as well that helped. 

The deployment itself took about one month. That is a typical timeframe.

Our strategy was to mainly manage all tablets and mobile devices from a single platform. Our main strategy was to connect all devices and be able to track them in case they were stolen or they were losing data. With this solution, we are able to set up and manage everything centrally.

We handled the initial setup in-house. There was no outside assistance.

We have a three-year contract that we pay on a yearly basis. The pricing is on the website. For big users, it's around $500.

We looked at a variety of different products, including some from Microsoft.

I'm a customer and reseller.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We use the solution for device and telecom expense management. 

The solution includes support for remote work. It also features identity management. This setup supports our users remotely by providing default monitoring and tunneling into our environment, eliminating the need for additional VPN software to access backend applications and staff resources.

Its most valuable features are tunneling and telecom management. These features help us to meet our organizational requirements. 

I would like to see technology expense management integrated into the next release. This feature would allow us to manage expenses across various workloads and services, including cloud environments and computing resources.

I have been working with the product for six years. 

The technical support team responds when we call them. However, it takes time. 

Positive

The tool is easy to implement because it's cloud-based. Integrating with on-premises infrastructure, like Active Directory or hybrid environments, is straightforward. The platform supports content management, allowing connection to various sources such as SharePoint and on-premises file shares for content sharing.

The solution provides value for what you pay. It's not the cheapest, but it's competitive compared to others like Microsoft Intune, which requires specific licenses.

We've purchased various licenses for VMware Workspace ONE, including premium and gold tiers. These licenses include security measures and support for managing telecom expenses like data and voice usage.

You might face limitations if you're seeking pure MDM rather than unified endpoint management. But if you need comprehensive UEM that meets broader needs, you won't have issues.

We use the product to manage virtual machines and services within a company's infrastructure. Over time, the focus has shifted towards incorporating additional features like container services.

The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility.

The product's stability for certain instances needs improvement.

I've been using VMware Workspace ONE under guidance for about two years.

Workspace ONE's stability is eight out of ten. While it's considered stable in general, there are situations where it feels somewhat risky, especially when pushing the limits of its capabilities. In these instances, there may be concerns about stability, particularly when the environment runs slower.

The number of users fluctuates depending on the project's stability and requirements.

The deployment duration of Workspace ONE can vary depending on several factors. For example, converting and testing could take some time if an organization has a VMware environment with approximately ten Linux servers. However, leveraging Azure offerings may streamline certain aspects of the deployment process, such as copying virtual machines directly into the Azure environment. Additionally, organizations working with government or ministry clients, who often utilize specialized environments, may require additional time for meticulous preparation and replicating the environment.

While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment.

We prioritize integrating new applications and platforms into Workspace ONE and replicating the client environment, facilitating our development process. We typically develop, test, and then restore environments, which covers most of our cases.

We have clients with proprietary systems, and it's more convenient for us to upload their virtual machines to Azure. Instead of installing everything, I prefer copying their virtual machines from on-premises VMware environments. However, when updating these virtual machines on Azure, I have to install agents and other components each time. I would like to have a mobile solution in the cloud to streamline this process.

As someone who works in a development environment without stringent production requirements, someone other than me might be the target user for Workspace ONE. Before deciding, assessing whether the features and capabilities align with the individual or organization's requirements is important.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

VMware Workspace ONE is an MDM solution that we use to manage mobile devices, laptops, IoT devices, and iPads.

The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity.

The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved. I would like to see more geofencing in the solution so that we can precisely track and keep a record of the devices in case of theft.

I have been using VMware Workspace ONE for three years.

VMware Workspace ONE is a stable solution. Sometimes, we have to wait for the latest updates. You don't have to wait in the case of Apple devices because Apple releases changes in their update, and based on that, the leading solutions also make the changes in the beta version.

VMware Workspace ONE is a scalable solution, and we can add multiple devices to it.

Currently, 1,500 users are managing the devices in our company. It's not extensively used because we are partners who sell these solutions to our customers.

We have heard from our customers that their experience with the solution's technical support was pretty good. Also, we have our in-house support center, where we take customer calls and resolve their issues periodically.

The solution's initial setup is not complex. Anyone with a little basic knowledge can do the configuration.

We implemented the solution through an in-house team.

The deployment process is pretty simple. You should have the devices, back-end connections, ports, and Identity Manager. The devices should be in one single portal managed by Apple Business Manager. You can do the enrollment. If the Apple Business Manager is unavailable, you can do the user-initiated enrollment, which can be done by the user's end.

In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive.

VMware Workspace ONE is deployed on the cloud, but the on-premises version is also available based on the customer's industry requirements. Users who want to manage their devices should look at the solution based on their future prospects, not the current scenario.

Overall, I rate VMware Workspace ONE an eight out of ten.
