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.

SAP BASIS Technical Architect at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
A scalable, stable, and easy-to-deploy solution that gives us the ability to control mobiles remotely
Pros and Cons
- "It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
- "We decided to go with it and stick with it; it served the purpose in my previous organization and is also serving the purpose in this organization."
- "They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."

What is most valuable?
It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely.
What needs improvement?
They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration.

Head of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Stable, scalable, good multi-platform capabilities, and good support

- "I like the technical support a lot; it's really first hand, high-level support."
- "The initial setup should be simplified."
- "The initial setup is pretty complicated. It can be a steep learning curve."
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support.
All features are at all sites.
What needs improvement?
The initial setup should be simplified.
I would like to see further integration suites and user direct using IdPs such as Okta. I would also like proper integration in the field of endpoint security.
For how long have I used the solution?
I am planning to use this solution now. It's not up and running fully.
I implemented it at a previous company that is reworking it now, and have been using it for a year and a half, in a positive way.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is superb.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's a scalable solution.
How are customer service and technical support?
I like the technical support a lot. It's really first hand, high-level support.

We evaluated Intune by Microsoft, as well as and Jamf.
Intune is more Windows-focused, with limited capabilities for Mac OS.
Also, it is high maintenance.
Jamf is only focused on Macintosh, and the integration with Windows is limited.

Technical Specialist at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Stable and scales well but needs better training
Pros and Cons
- "We've found the solution to be easy to use."
- "The product is very stable."
- "Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
What is our primary use case?
This solution is primarily used for mobility services. The solution has been mainly used for multiple platforms, including Android, Linux-based services, Windows, and MacBooks. If you want to access your organization data from anywhere, from any device, you do it via this solution.
What is most valuable?
The solution is very stable.
The solution scales well.
We've found the solution to be easy to use. Compared to other products, this is much better for MBM products.
What needs improvement?
The solution needs to offer better training. We need to understand items such as third-party integration capabilities or new features before we start to work on a new implementation. Sometimes, this isn't clear and it can affect our work. The training that is available is quite expensive for us. They need to make it much more reasonable so that we can afford to be properly trained and informed.
Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests. If something happens on a weekend, we won't get any help until at least the next business day.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for the past two years at this point.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is very stable. We don't experience bugs or glitches per se. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is quite scalable. If a company wants to expand it, they can. It's not difficult.
Currently in my organization, we are using the solution for 300 people. However, I have done installations for approximately five to six clients. In the last one and a half years I have done installations for different types of devices and have handled anywhere from 5,000 devices, and users all the way up to 10,000 users. In the latest deployment I'm working on has 30,000 users.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support is pretty good. That said, if something happens on a weekend, we won't be able to get the support we need. It also sometimes takes a while to get everything resolved. We might have to email back and forth two or three times. It really should be faster.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also have experience with Jamf Pro, however, that solution is specifically used for Apple products.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup can be straightforward, however, it depends on the installation requirements and the clients' requirements. It depends on if they want the DR setup or a DC or SA set up, and/or clustering. If the requirements increase, the time it takes will increase as well. If the prerequisite has been done clearly previous to the starting of the installation, then it will take much less time.
What about the implementation team?
I implement the solution on behalf of clients.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't handle licensing or billing. Therefore, I'm not sure what the total cost is to our organization. I don't know if it's overly expensive or fairly reasonable. I'm purely a technical team member.
What other advice do I have?
I'm using the latest version of the solution.
I'm not a client. I'm an architect of Workspace ONE. I implement the solution for clients, so I don't use it directly per se. I implement all deployment models, both cloud and on-premises.
I'd recommend the solution to other companies.
Overall, I've been pretty satisfied with the solution. I would rate it at a seven out of ten. It has all of the features I need. We just need to be better informed when there are new features or changes.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Server Administrator Coordinator at Cairo American College
A simple and secure enterprise platform that delivers and manages apps
Pros and Cons
- "VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
- "It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
- "Although it's supposed to be compatible with Chromebooks and Windows, we find that it's quite limited."
What is our primary use case?
We mainly use VMware Workspace ONE for managing Macs and iOS devices.
What needs improvement?
Although it's supposed to be compatible with Chromebooks and Windows, we find that it's quite limited. I think it doesn't work properly with Chromebooks because you need a Google license to manage them. For this reason, we didn't end up using AirWatch with Chromebooks.
The overall accuracy could also be improved. It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users.
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 has been stable so far.
How are customer service and technical support?
My main concern with the support is that they don't have a team. You always get a freelancer — often there are difficulties relating to language barriers. Sometimes they are experts, sometimes they are not.
What about the implementation team?
I didn't do the initial setup by myself. I had to hire a consultant and some other specialists to do it for me.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
VMware Workspace ONE is not cheap; it's quite expensive. However, in the end, they gave us a reasonable price.
What other advice do I have?
If you have Mac or SNIS devices, it works fine and the price will be reasonable. If you have a lot of money to invest, there are better options out there.
Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give VMware Workspace ONE a rating of eight.
There should be more powerful features available for Mac, like what GEMS has already introduced — especially in regards to the level of system updates, and software updates. It should be easier to manage things, especially for Mac. If they improved this, I would give them a higher rating.
