Good virtualization, fair pricing, and responsive support
Pros and Cons
  • "I found the initial setup to be easy."
  • "We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."

What is our primary use case?

We have some VMware products, and the company uses Workspace ONE since we use the virtualization product, VMware. This is just a virtualization product. 

In work before, we have used the VMware direct connection.

What is most valuable?

In VMware, its virtualization is good.

I found the initial setup to be easy.

We can scale the solution if we need to. 

The pricing is good. 

Support is helpful and responsive. 

What needs improvement?

We have some problems with Workspace ONE. We have used the politic MDM for mobile, and it was probably one month before one account just removed it. It's likely an error from Samsung since this device gets updates from Samsung. Once an update happened, they remove this from the MDM platform from Workspace ONE. However, I could not track down the reason this happened. 

We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point. 

It's not completely stable. 

While we have some wrappers in the product, I don't usually find what I want. 

The two-factor identification process needs to be easier. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for four months.

Learn what your peers think about Workspace ONE UEM. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: March 2025.
845,406 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution isn't too stable. We've had some errors with the device. I'd rate the stability ya three out of five in terms of stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution can scale. 

We have around 250 people using it currently. About ten people use the admin panel. 

How are customer service and support?

We've used technical support in the past since we have had problems along the way. Typically, issues can be resolved within a week. That's not too long to wait.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We're still using VMware Workspace ONE and now starting to use Microsoft Intune.

We are just now starting to use Microsoft Intune, and it's much better than Workspace ONE. It's easy to use for updates. And for control, it's also simpler since we have Office 365 and we have an all-in-one approach with Intune and Azure Active Directory. InTune is just better in a Microsoft environment. 

How was the initial setup?

It's not very difficult. The platform is pretty easy. I did find, however, that the two-factor authentication took some time. I'd rate the overall process a three out of five in terms of ease of setup. 

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

It is not an expensive solution. The pricing is good. It's also less expensive than InTune. I'd rate their pricing five out of five.  

What other advice do I have?

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I've been pretty happy with its capabilities.

Feature-rich, good for Android device management
Pros and Cons
  • "It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
  • "I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."

What is our primary use case?

We use Workspace ONE for managing devices. We can create users who can only use systems in the cloud.

What is most valuable?

It's a large enterprise platform that offers many tools. It's a tool that can be managed in various departments.

What needs improvement?

VMware is an expensive tool, and we are not using the complete platform. We are paying for a tool that we are not fully using. We need a specific tool that provides us with what we need.

We have decided to switch to another solution that we are currently evaluating and doing PoCs for because we work on iPads only. I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using VMware Workspace One for the last 12 months.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We are currently doing a PoC for Jamf Pro. I am learning and trying to understand the platform. We are still in the testing phase.

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

It's an expensive tool.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are currently evaluating different solutions to find the best MDM platform to suit our needs. We are looking at Aurelia Santiago.

What other advice do I have?

We are having some issues with VPN providers. They don't work with the settings that we need.

In a month or two, we will have to connect with the Active Directory for research and to configure the users.

We manage Android devices only, with a custom tool that was created.

I would rate VMware Workspace One a ten out of ten.

Wide range of features and has great technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
  • "They need a more flexible pricing model."

What is most valuable?

Workspace ONE has a pretty broad range of features and capabilities. It's like a market-wide buffet that hasn't yet spread out. However, when compared to its competitors, such as Microsoft Intune, Intune is behind the game, but it has been catching up in terms of the capabilities and features that it now has to offer.

The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature.

VMware provides a wide range of services that are second to none.

What needs improvement?

They need a more flexible pricing model.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with VMware Workspace ONE for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In terms of stability, I would say VMware Workspace ONE is fairly stable, but not every OEM vendor in the world can provide products that are error-free. When it comes to fixing errors, I believe VMware is on the right track. The problems aren't bothering the customers.

There are some errors but nothing that is of concern and it gets corrected quickly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

When compared to its competitors such as Microsoft, VMware is a much more scalable product, in my opinion.

When it comes to their SaaS offering, I would say the product is a little more flexible and scalable.

How are customer service and support?

In terms of support, I would say it is adequate. When compared to Microsoft, I would say VMware support is excellent. However, there are times when you need to escalate certain issues in order to gain traction. And if you're not getting anywhere with your support cases, you may need to escalate internally.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, I worked with Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive, in my opinion. In Microsoft, you pay for whatever you use. In terms of services, it is more evenly distributed. You only need to pay for one license to get access to a suite of products. From your office to your endpoint, you are essentially managing your endpoint. Everything is combined into a single console. somewhat more flexible on the Microsoft side, which is lacking on the VMware side.

In terms of features, I believe VMware has struck the right chord. However, there are some features in Microsoft that are lacking. I'm confident that Microsoft will try to catch up over time, and it will be there, within the next year or two.

How was the initial setup?

I would say it was a straightforward process because if you are a potential lead for the product, the relevant stakeholders, such as the sales team, take action and then convert it. They perform POCs.

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

I would say that at the very least the pricing needs to be revised. Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market.

Pricing may need to be subsidized.

The price is reasonable given the features that Workspace ONE provides. 

Not every company or every organization in the world can afford the VMware Workspace ONE just for the features. Some companies might be using some of the features, and they will have to pay for the rest of the features, even if they are not utilizing them.

What other advice do I have?

I am not currently affiliated with any company, such as a solution provider, an MSP, or a product company that sells this product. I'm now more interested in DevOps.

I haven't been in touch with MDM technology in about six to eight months. We were gold-certified partners with VMware, as well as Microsoft.

I was a partner selling services and developing solutions for their customers.

I would advise them to first prioritize what they want to achieve. Rather than wandering aimlessly through the market in search of a specific product. First, they must understand or, more likely, articulate their use cases. And then, based on the pricing model, decide whether they want a lot more features so that they can use the services later on, rather than just going with whatever players are available in the market.

Make certain that it is the solution you require.

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

Useful for device and telecom expense management
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for device and telecom expense management. 

What is most valuable?

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. 

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the product for six years. 

How are customer service and support?

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

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

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.

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

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

A scalable solution that can be used to manage mobile devices, laptops, IoT devices, and iPads
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using VMware Workspace ONE for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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

What about the implementation team?

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.

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

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Offers good integration features but needs to improve the configuration part
Pros and Cons
  • "The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
  • "The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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

How was the initial setup?

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.

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

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

What other advice do I have?

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.
