What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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

What about the implementation team?

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.

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

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Easy to use, works well, and is worth the money
Pros and Cons
  • "It was easy to use."
  • "There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."

What is our primary use case?

We used it for the backup and restore. If you have some sort of data that you've lost, you can restore from a previous snapshot.

How has it helped my organization?

It was an excellent product. It was very good for recovering lost files and folders for customers.

What is most valuable?

It was easy to use. I don't really remember it very well. I used it for a short time frame, but it was fairly easy to use. It was fairly streamlined and worked well to some extent for backup.

What needs improvement?

There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I used it in my previous position for about a year and a half. I believe it was the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's scalable. There were probably over a thousand machines.

How are customer service and support?

I have not used their support.

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

We didn't use any other solution.

How was the initial setup?

I didn't set it up. It was set up by a different team for the customer. I was only responsible for managing the backup and recovering the files. Its implementation took about six months period. 

In terms of maintenance, it was just myself. There wasn't much maintenance to do apart from getting the latest version and ensuring it was applied to all machines. 

What was our ROI?

It was definitely worth the money. It was an excellent product.

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

There was a commercial team that dealt with that. My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee.

What other advice do I have?

I'd recommend it. I'd rate it an eight out of ten.

Great for controlling mobile devices with a good contained browser feature
Pros and Cons
  • "The contained browser is a good feature."
  • "The most valuable feature for us is the contained browser of the product."
  • "There could be improvements to Workspace ONE in terms of the pricing and some security aspects such as data loss prevention."

What is our primary use case?

In the main, our primary use case is for controlling mobile devices and deployment of mobile device applications inside the company. We are consultants and implementers and I'm the presales project manager. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature for us is the contained browser of the product.

What needs improvement?

There could be improvements to Workspace ONE in terms of the pricing and some security aspects such as data loss prevention. It could be more competitive relative to other solutions on the market. For example, Microsoft EMS is very tightly integrated with Office 365 and that's a big advantage. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We haven't had any issues in terms of scalability. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward although the configuration guide is a little outdated.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution eight out of 10.

Allows you to manage multiple types of devices, and you can easily take control of a device without letting any information get leaked
Pros and Cons
  • "Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
  • "Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."

What is our primary use case?

We use AirWatch for mobility management. We leverage all the basic functionalities this solution provides, such as MDM, MAM, MCM, MBM, and MIM.

Our company provides managed services to customers. We are a partner and managed services provider, and we help with the installation, implementation, and configuration of VMware solutions.

We are working with its latest version. In terms of deployment, it is a mix. Some of our customers opt for the on-prem model, and some of our customers want a site-based model.

What is most valuable?

Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked.

What needs improvement?

Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month.

For how long have I used the solution?

It has been a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is easy to scale. We deal with all kinds of companies, but it is mainly used for large companies.

How are customer service and support?

I don't get involved with the installation or administration of VMware. There is a different team that looks into all these things. They might have been in touch with VMware's technical team. I am in touch with their alliance team.

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

For mobility management, we deal with VMware AirWatch and Microsoft Intune. Both products are more or less the same. Intune is just a basic solution, and feature-wise, AirWatch is better. Security-wise, AirWatch is better, but Intune is catching up. The benefit of Intune over AirWatch is the bundling and the pricing. 

How was the initial setup?

I don't handle the technical bit. I am a product manager, and I'm not the one who installs this product. 

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

AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month. Microsoft bundles everything, and then that bundling makes the product free for the customers.

What other advice do I have?

It completely depends on the use case and what a company is looking for. For example, if they are an SMB and already have Microsoft products, then I would suggest they upgrade the licenses so that they get Intune or device management complimentary. For a big organization, we need to do some feasibility study to understand the customer requirements, and based on that, we can suggest a product. 

AirWatch has been a leader, and it has always been in the top category. I would rate it a solid nine out of 10.

Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's single plane of glass approach is beneficial. The endpoint management is very good and specific. One of their competitors is Intune, and you have leaks from other services within the Microsoft ecosystem."
  • "VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."

What is our primary use case?

The scalability is good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

How has it helped my organization?

VMware Workspace ONE can ease the jobs of the IT department in an organization by allowing clear visibility on devices and compliance issues.

There should be better compatibility with Linux devices.

Good inventory features, simple to setup, and has good technical support, but needs more service notifications
Pros and Cons
  • "From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
  • "I would like to see more service notifications."
  • "Scalability is a problem because we have a service provider who is supposed to maintain the backend with patching."

What is our primary use case?

We use VMware Workspace ONE for our Android devices. I also use it for handheld scanners.

What is most valuable?

From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory.

What needs improvement?

In terms of Workspace ONE, we are migrating it from on-premises to the cloud.

I would like to see more service notifications.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using VMware Workspace ONE for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

VMware Workspace ONE is stable. We do have a few outages, but they are few and far between. We were able to recover quickly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is a problem because we have a service provider who is supposed to maintain the backend with patching. As a result, when we want to use a remote capability the environment must be updated.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good.

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

We use Jamf, for our MacBook Space and our Apple Mac Space.

I prefer working with Jamf. When we did a side-by-side pilot, and I found it to be easier.

When I focus on one product, I gain a better understanding. It is the Apple brand, in my opinion. I now have a better grasp of the policies and groups.

How was the initial setup?

It's pretty simple in my opinion, but I'm not the technical owner. I was just collaborating with a colleague to assist him with it, but it was fairly simple.

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

I don't have a view on pricing.

What other advice do I have?

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

Great for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."
  • "If a customer requires a true solution then I would say VMware is the right choice."
  • "We have experienced some connectivity issues."
  • "We have experienced some connectivity issues in that the application in VMware is very slow compared to SecureX."

What is our primary use case?

We are using complements of Horizon solutions for our customers. I'm the general manager of sales. 

What is most valuable?

We are using two VDA solutions, providing dedicated tech for end-users in our company. The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users or GPU base or any IFP kind of base of end-user then we recommend Horizon solutions.

What needs improvement?

We have experienced some connectivity issues in that the application in VMware is very slow compared to SecureX. I'd like to see better application delivery. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a very stable product. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable product. 

How are customer service and support?

In terms of VMware products, customer support could be better.

How was the initial setup?

If you do the right sizing and take the right approach the initial setup is easy but if something is amiss then it's very complicated.

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

The initial pricing is very reasonable but their pricing model is variable and the pricing can be high or low. 

What other advice do I have?

If a customer requires a true solution then I would say VMware is the right choice. But if you're looking for application video or ADSX kind of solutions, then GFX is better.

I rate the solution nine out of 10.

Can be tailor-made to suit your needs; Zero Trust is a key feature
Pros and Cons
  • "Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
  • "It's perfect for our customers and our company."
  • "Using the solution on Android requires a special setup, the mobile SSO doesn't work as well."

What is our primary use case?

Our use case of this solution is for the Zero Trust feature; when anyone from the company logs in, the authentication goes through VMware Access and checks that only devices owned by our company can access all their source and on-premise applications. I'm CEO of the company. 

What is most valuable?

We use the solution in conjunction with Okta and that is perfect because it enables us to set it up and get the best out of the Zero Trust implementation. Both the identity MSA as well as the device are checked at the same time.

What needs improvement?

Using the solution on Android requires a special setup, the mobile SSO doesn't work as well. It would be easier if it was integrated and we could do it similarly to the iOS SSO setup. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Our users access the solution every day and we haven't had a single stability issue in the past 12 months. It just works. We have one person working part-time on maintenance which is usually when we have changes to our applications, otherwise, it just runs in the background. Because it's a SaaS service all the upgrades are done automatically in the cloud. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We've done 10,000 implementations globally and we have 250 users in the company. The advantage of it being a SaaS application means that even small companies, say 10 or 20 people, can use it. There's no financial hindrance to doing that.

How are customer service and support?

They have a very knowledgeable guy, who's worked on the development side and provides us with good service. With some of the bigger US software companies, getting through the first level of support can be tedious.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty simple. We deployed internally, we have really good senior consultants who carry out the installations for us and for our customers. Deployment takes a maximum of two days. 

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

The solution is licensed per user. It's part of their advanced package, and it comes together with the MDM part. Depending on your needs, the license can be $40, $60, or $100 per year. It's an SaaS subscription.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

VMware bought AirWatch mobile management and married Identity Manager with MDM. When VMware and Okta started working together for Adobe, they needed to make it work successfully. When we got the results, it was a no-brainer for us.

What other advice do I have?

It's important to look at the bigger picture to get the full benefit of the product. It can be tailor-made to suit your needs. Some countries might not be able to access it or they might find that there's an extra MFA. MDM or Identity Manager separately are not enough. You need both, as well as Okta to get the full story, so to speak. They work closely with VMware so that the pieces all work together with their product. It's perfect for our customers and our company. The important thing is that it's developing all the time and they are constantly working on it, so if it's good now, it will be good in two years as well.

I rate the solution nine out of 10.
