Workspace ONE UEM Reviews

Our primary use case is for end-user devices, such as emails and internally developed applications.

The most valuable features of VMware Workspace ONE are security and having support for all the latest features that are coming out from Apple. They're pretty fast at adopting new features. This is one of the most vital aspects of mobile device management systems.

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.

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

VMware Workspace ONE is stable.

The solution is scalable.

Sometimes the first line support is a bit troublesome. It's not until you talk to a real engineer do you receive the answers to the issues you might be faced with. We had the same issue with Microsoft support.

The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable.

I have evaluated Microsoft Cloud and Office 365.

Right now we don't see there's an MDM solution out there that's better than VMware Workspace ONE. It makes sense that companies are leaning more and more towards the Microsoft Cloud and Office 365, and they do offer Intune as well. That makes sense in that context, but if you look at the benefits of the MDM solutions versus each other, from what we've done in our research and analysis, VMware is still the best tool on the market.

We have a couple of issues that we have seen every now and then, but it's always the same issues and it's not something that's related to VMware. It's typically from our own underlying infrastructure components that are not really reliable.

I rate VMware Workspace ONE a nine out of ten.

Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple. 

Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit. They have kept too many products as add-ons. These need to be bundled with the low-cost, standard version. This will help customers in adopting this technology at a faster pace.

We have been dealing with VMware Workspace ONE for almost four years. 

A customer faced one global downtime in India. Apart from that, I have not seen any downtime. It's pretty stable.

Scalability is absolutely fine. We have experience with scaling 5,000 users so far.

In terms of technical support, we are almost L1, L2, and L3 because VMware offloads the complete professional or PSO service to us. We deployed a complete VMware PSO for a system in India. We don't generally see many challenges. There are a few challenges for which we take help from the support team, and we find them very good.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward, especially the cloud setup is very simplified.

Deployment duration depends on the customer success criteria or the scope of work. We have handled 3,000 and 5,000 users deployments. It took one and a half months to role out 1,500 users. Our largest scope was around 5,000 users, which took almost two months to complete.

It depends on the number of users because you need Windows 10 management, mobile management, and everything you want to see. If it is a greenfield deployment, then it's very straightforward. If it is not a straightforward greenfield deployment, integration also takes some time. Everything is a working field where we need to manage the timeline, production, clean window, and communication with customers and users, which takes some time. 

There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified.

We are the first master service in India. We are a service partner, and we are deploying this solution for our customers. A few deployments are on-premises, and a few are on the cloud. Cloud deployment is simple, but from the security point of view, few banks want to deploy it on-premises.

I absolutely recommend VMware Workspace ONE. It's a very good product. They should keep improving the pricing and innovation of the product. Otherwise, the customer will not be convinced about the cost. That's the only problem. India is very cost-sensitive. Everyone wants everything free in India, which is a big problem.

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

I use the solution to manage the shared devices in the organization.

All the features of the solution are very useful. The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize.

The solution should improve its support. When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution.

I have been using the solution for the past one year.

When VMware upgraded the solution, we faced some problems with bugs. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

The scalability of the solution is fine. About 2000 employees in our organization used the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward once you get used to it.

To start using the solution and access their profile and applications, the users must enter their email addresses and passwords in the laptops they receive. 

We need around twelve employees to implement the solution from scratch.

We paid a yearly license fee for the solution. Our organization has stopped using the solution because it was expensive.

We took two months to understand and manage the tool properly. It is a cloud-based solution. Our client might have used a third-party consultant to deploy the solution. I came to the team after the implementation was done. We do not use the solution anymore. We migrated from VMware Workspace ONE to Microsoft Intune because of the price.

The solution is really good for a large company. It provides different use cases for the devices. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We currently have 50-100 employees, and are growing towards 100 employees. We use some of our devices quite confidentially, and we use AirWatch to protect those devices. We want to separate personal data, and the company data because our employees are using their personal smart phone to access our email. It is just for data the email.

I don't have to worry anymore about my data after I used the EMM.

I want to see VMware move the management to the cloud. For now, the management is the premise of our server, but we want to move it to the cloud.

Yes, this product is stable. 

Our company is still pretty small, so I have no issues with scalability at the moment. I have heard that this VMware product can manage over 20,000 employees. We are not at that stage of need yet.

The premise is that you just have to install the software. We had already programmed the server. It was a bit complex on the setting up of the policy, at first. Once the policy was done, then we had to update. Every so often, we still need to update. It's not too complex.

I have no opinion about the pricing. 

VMware is the better solution versus other things that are out there. It is an EMM to help us problem solve issues. 

We use it for containerization and email management, EMM.

Previously, my end-users would carry their complete email in their Outlook client. After we started using this solution, people started to use our actual email, with the help of the mobile client. It enables people to access their mail from wherever they want, whenever they want, and however they want. It enables users to carry a highly manageable platform and also a highly secure one.

In terms of IT, we can achieve security control, but from the end-user's point of view they have flexibility in how they use their mail.

It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables end-users to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security, while still carrying their own BYOD.

Redundancy, manageability, and lack of complexity, are the typical things which make people choose VMware AirWatch.

Whatever product you choose in the VMware portfolio, everything is stable and very reliable. It is very controlled and very stable for product usage and in terms of manageability.

We have definitely not had any issues with scalability. It is highly redundant, highly scalable.

It is very easy to deploy. For the installation and configuration, we had straightforward documentation. With the help of consultants and architects, we developed the right design. They helped us to move forward.

If you ask me, in terms of installation, configuration, management, and monitoring, this solution is far better than others.

In terms of pricing, this solution is definitely much more expensive compared to other solutions, like MobileIron or MaaS360 or any other product in the market. This solution is more expensive by 30 or 40 percent. That is very hard because, while enterprise companies can afford for this pricing, if you look at the SMB sector, they can't afford this pricing, and they won't adopt this kind of technology.

We did a pilot of MaaS360.

When compared to other mobility solutions:

• VMware AirWatch vs MaaS360
• VMware AirWatch vs MobileIron
• VMware AirWatch vs Blackberry BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite (Good Technology).

We think VMware AirWatch stands ahead of the other solutions. Other players can improve their functionalities and features by looking at the features of VMware AirWatch. This product is much more stable, much more compliant, and much more redundant. Also, rolling out the solution is much easier when compared to other products or vendors.

This is a reliable solution, not like other vendors which may be good in some areas but lack in other areas. When compared to other products, AirWatch is highly scalable, redundant, reliable, and easily manageable. People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly.

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

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.

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.

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.

I have been using VMware Identity Manager for a year.

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

I would rate the scalability of the solution as a seven out of ten. We have over 1,000 end users of VMware Identity Manager at our company.

I would rate VMware's technical support a solid ten out of ten. They are highly responsive, precise, and provide specific assistance.

Positive

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

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

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.

Overall, I would rate VMware Identity Manager as an eight out of ten.

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

It's provided us with a lot of benefits. We can control the app and wipe any data remotely in case of loss or theft. 

We can also apply patches to ensure the latest versions are available.

The solution allows us to control everything centrally. 

It's meeting our requirements right now. It's aligned with our internet policy as well as our security policy. 

It's stable and reliable. 

The solution can scale. 

The setup is pretty straightforward. 

Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades. We'd like the product to improve these capabilities to make patch management especially a bit more straightforward. 

We do not need any extra features. 

Technical support could be better. 

I've been using the solution for five years.

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze.

The solution is scalable and easy to expand. 

We have 100 users on it right now. 

Technical support is okay, however, it needs a bit of improvement. 

Positive

We did not use a different solution previously. 

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. 

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

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

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

While it depends on the business needs and the policy requirements, I'd recommend the solution. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

We deploy Workspace ONE for our customers for Windows, Mac, and modern desktop Windows 10 management. It also provides MDM capability and application push for their mobile devices. That's the use case we are focusing on — application push and patch management. That's the modern management we are doing right now.

Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution.

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 have been using VMware Workspace ONE for ourselves as well as for our customers for nearly five years.

WorkspaceONE's stability is excellent. I haven't seen any issues in the last four years— no major disasters.

We are managing around 30,000 endpoints and devices, so it's a highly scalable solution. We're recommending our customers renew the solution. We might grow 5 to 10 percent in the next year.

VMware tech support is professional. There are delays sometimes, but it's good overall.

A long time ago, I was using Blackberry. 

Workspace ONE is relatively easy to install. A few things are complicated from a high availability perspective. Otherwise, it's straightforward. Total deployment took one week. One person can deploy and manage the solution.  

I rate Workspace ONE nine out of 10. Users are working from home all over the world, so companies need to consider things from a security perspective and the segregation of personal use from office work.
