Beneficial existing group policies upgrading, reliable, and helpful support
Pros and Cons
  • "You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."
  • "I have found VMware Workspace One better than Microsoft Intune."
  • "VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."

What is our primary use case?

We have multiple use cases for VMware Workspace ONE. The main use case for VMware Workspace ONE is offline domain drawing. 

We don't have any limits for Windows 10 Enterprise, because if you want to go for the endpoint management, it's a need to have Enterprise Edition for Windows 10 devices.

What is most valuable?

You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE.

What needs improvement?

VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions.

We don't have the availability of sharing with other platforms, such as social platforms, or YouTube. We don't find those learning materials. It is very difficult to learn. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used VMware Workspace ONE within 12 months.

Optimizes IT efficiency and offers excellent technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
  • "I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."

What is our primary use case?

I use VMware Identity Manager to make it easy for clients to access apps with one login.

How has it helped my organization?

VMware Identity Manager has saved IT time by eliminating the need for daily station visits and manual installations. Now, we deliver a virtual desktop environment to user groups, providing all the necessary tools for browser-based work or tasks on desktops, streamlining their workflow.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules. They help ensure compliance by managing access lists, determining who can access specific locations, and assigning priority to different aspects of the tool.

What needs improvement?

In terms of improvement, I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files. As for future releases, I hope to see features like seamless migrations with collaboration tools to simplify tasks, especially for devices like IP phones and Cisco Call Manager.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using VMware Identity Manager for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not had any stability issues with VMware Identity Manager. I would rate the stability as an eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

We switched to VMware Identity Manager from Citrix Workspace mostly because of the price difference.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment takes about a day.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would rate the costliness of the solution as an eight out of ten. The licensing costs for the solution vary based on user count, so there is no fixed value. It depends on factors like the number of users and specific needs.

Reliable, good support, and reasonably priced
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
  • "The integration on the application side could improve."

What is our primary use case?

My clients are using VMware Workspace ONE for information protection and enterprise mobility management.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability.

What needs improvement?

The integration on the application side could improve.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using VMware Workspace ONE for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the stability of VMware Workspace ONE a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Our clients are mostly medium-sized businesses with users from 200 to 2,000.

How are customer service and support?

The support provided by the vendor is good. However, they have a limited skill set in providing support.

I rate the support of VMware Workspace ONE an eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of VMware Workspace ONE is of a middle level of difficulty. It requires special training and skill sets.

The time implementation can take between 15 days to three months.

I rate the initial setup of VMware Workspace ONE an eight out of ten.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

I rate the price of VMware Workspace ONE a seven out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

The decision to implement VMware Workspace ONE depends entirely on the specific use cases at hand. If an organization requires a unified console for managing multiple aspects such as cloud services, email, information protection, and mobile endpoint management (MEM), then this solution would be suitable. However, if the requirement is solely for mobile device management (MDM), alternative solutions may be more appropriate.

I rate VMware Workspace ONE a nine out of ten.

An easy-to-use solution that offers its users of a single platform to manage all their devices
Pros and Cons
  • "Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
  • "Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."

What is our primary use case?

The solution's use cases can vary depending on the organization. For example, we have deployed projects for BYOD, Mac Management, and Windows Management solutions. Each project is different and tailored to the specific needs of the organization. One of the benefits for our customers is the ease of use with a single platform to manage all devices. The dashboard is visually appealing and provides compliance insights for CIOs and CTOs to review.

What is most valuable?

Windows Patch Management is a wonderful feature of the solution.

What needs improvement?

The solution is an improved version. Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have experience with VMware Workspace ONE for more than five years. I am working as a SI, and my company has a partnership with Microsoft or VMware. We are a premium partner for VMware. Also, I am using the latest version of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a very stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a highly scalable solution, allowing you to start with a hundred licenses and scale up to multiple lakh licenses.

How are customer service and support?

Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue. VMware is a well-known brand that doesn't need any acknowledgment.

How was the initial setup?

The setup process was not complex since my company mostly sells cloud-based instances, which means they are already pre-configured. We only need to configure the policies based on the use cases, and it works seamlessly. Therefore, the setup process is effortless. Additionally, the solution does not require any maintenance as it is a cloud instance, and all maintenance will be taken care of by VMware.

What was our ROI?

My company's customers have experienced a return on investment using the solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD. However, in India, there is a similar product available for around 25 USD.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

In comparison to other tools, VMware Workspace ONE has some cons, especially from a pricing perspective. However, one of its pros is that other tools may not manage identity or access as effectively. Despite this advantage, the pricing of VMware Workspace ONE is still considered relatively high.

What other advice do I have?

VMware products, in my opinion, is an exceptional product, and it allows for the management of a complete device fleet from a single console. It can manage Windows, Mac, Android, or iOS devices, and policy configurations are straightforward to deploy. I would recommend this solution to others since I have already recommended it to most of my customers. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Pros and Cons
  • "The solution can scale."
  • "Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is good for controlling mobile devices centrally. When you have a distributed network, it's able to easily manage and centralize.

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very easy. 

We did a standard deployment process only. There are no customizations that we made. 

There is no maintenance required. 

What about the implementation team?

We handled the solution's deployment in-house, as well as with help from the vendor. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I can't speak to the exact pricing and licensing. It's pretty reasonable in terms of the cost.

It's good for providing consistency across complex environments
Pros and Cons
  • "The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use Workspace ONE for my work with Homeland Security, but we're getting rid of it. VMware is the current mobile user platform for Homeland Security, specifically weapons of mass destruction. I've been consulting with them for the last four years, and I moved over to weapons of mass destruction four months ago. 

    They're switching from VMware to Intune, and I was concerned with the due diligence. They've made a decision. and I'm helping them make that transition so that they can properly integrate the state and local devices for detecting chemical, biological, and nuclear attacks.

    I just know some people at VMware at the senior level, and I talk to them when necessary. Homeland Security wasn't using the product how they should and they didn't reach out to VMware to identify the holes in the processes or inadequacies of the application that could've been addressed. 

    The people in the weapons of mass destruction division didn't have the technical competencies to understand the software solutions, so they brought in a consulting company called Mobile Mentor, which is an Intune reseller. I told them that wasn't a reason to switch. 

    What needs improvement?

    VMware Workspace ONE is like any other product. You need to work with the vendor's software engineers to get the features you need to support your infrastructure. They can provide the technical modifications to the software you need to support your environment. 

    For example, the Department of Defense has a peculiar IT infrastructure in terms of how they use SonicWall for mobile devices. If someone's using an Apple iPhone or an Android device, how do you partition it to support the mission? Public sector workers need to use a government cell because of the sensitive business they conduct on those devices. Mobile devices also include laptops and cell phones, creating more complexity. 

    The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate VMware Workspace ONE eight out of 10.

    Highly scalable, very good technical support, with competitive features
    Pros and Cons
    • "The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
    • "The application itself individuals are getting annoyed with it. They are looking to integrate with ABB applications regardless of whether it is Android or iOS based. We are wanting to shift from this application because of the integration issues we are facing."

    What is our primary use case?

    Our primary use case is to control the email services for mobile devices and we are controlling that just to avoid leakage of the information for those devices.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking.

    What needs improvement?

    The application itself individuals are getting annoyed with it. They are looking to integrate with ABB applications regardless of whether it is Android or iOS based. We are wanting to shift from this application because of the integration issues we are facing.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working with VMware Workspace ONE for the past three years.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We currently have around one thousand end users.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have spoken with technical support many times. I would rate them an eight on a scale of one to ten.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is moderately complex. On a scale of one to five, I would rate that a five. The deployment time takes about seven months.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The pricing currently is higher than the competition.

    What other advice do I have?

    It is based on the requirements. If he has Intune and has the Microsoft license already in place, it is based on those requirements, and based on the circumstances. But ultimately it is a good choice, I would not say it is a bad choice. I would rate VMware Workspace ONE an eight on a scale of one to ten.
