Workspace ONE UEM Reviews

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 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.

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.

It has been a couple of years.

It is very reliable.

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

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.

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. 

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

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.

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.

We are using this product for BYOD and mobility management.

The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices.

The visibility of these devices is very good.

It integrated well with my existing data classification tool.

VMware should develop an integrated platform for their security products to give a singular integrated and holistic view of the devices covered by different security products whether Workspace One or Carbon Black. Should also look at having a common end point agent to be deployed as an added advantage to customers who own both the products Workspace One as well as the recently acquired EDR - Carbon Black. 

Also, VMware should have a special support package for on premise setups so that the same value is realised by customers similar to cloud based deployment. 

We have been using this product for about one year.

We have not had problems with stability beyond the sorts of issues that you have with new products. Normally, it requires a bit of help from the support team. 

Easy scalable.

The technical support from VMware is pretty good. I have not seen any tickets open for more than four days.

No. Workspace One is our first solution.

The initial setup was straightforward. For us, it was more about how we were deploying it and what resources were needed. Our deployment took place over a period of three months.

I would suggest accessing support from VMware when you begin the implementation.

We have a team that is a combination of in-house and outsourced people. Importantly, once this product is deployed and working well, you don't require much maintenance. One or two people for administration is sufficient.

Too soon to comment but would be interesting to see the invested cost break even next year.

Decent pricing. Device based licensing is the best approach.

When we were evaluating enterprise mobility management solutions, it was between VMware, Blackberry, Maas360, MobileIron.

Workspace One is a product that I strongly recommend. They are the leader in the category and it's a wonderful product. My advice for anybody who is implementing it is to focus on what they need to achieve in the organization and build a strategy for that. This is what the relationship with the product should be based on.

My approach was to integrate my existing solution with the new one that was under procurement, and it was a good fit that met my requirements. I would suggest this strategy for any new product that is being on-boarded.

For somebody using the cloud version, with reduced maintenance, I think that this would be a ten out of ten product. In my case, however, as my team is not the expert in maintaining this product and are in learning phase, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

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.

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

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.

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. 

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

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

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

I have not used their support.

We didn't use any other solution.

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. 

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

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.

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

We make use of DM Solutions and do so strictly for users, moving devices and laptops.

As we have been manually provisioning everything for end-users, the solution gives us more control over what is necessary on the end-user side and allows us to regularly provide them with updates from a single place.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it enables us to remotely manage the devices, which is its purpose, and to push applications to the mobile devices from the portal.

No areas for room for improvement come to mind. The VM is pretty good and I can't think of any areas that are lacking. I was just comparing VMware Workspace ONE to other solutions and I can say we are pretty happy with it for the moment. For the time being, I cannot think of any features that should be improved.

I have been using VMware Workspace ONE for three years.

The solution is very stable. 

There are no issues with scalability. We can do so at any time. 

The initial setup was okay. It's straightforward.

As it has been two years, I cannot recall the implementation strategy. I do recall that it was straightforward and took us a couple of days.

We made use of a managed service provider, utilizing a system integrator who worked with us. It was helpful and we had a good experience. Our needs were understood and the deployment went very smoothly.

For the moment, we have a multi-year contract, meaning that we cannot go with a different solution at this time even if the price should prove more favorable. Only next year can we evaluate the price. 

There are 250 users in our organization who make use of the solution.

I rate VMware Workspace ONE as a nine out of ten.

The solution has VMware Horizon embedded which allows the utilization of many types of applications. We inform our clients how they can use this tool to convert applications and move them inside any type of device, such as tablets and smartphones.

There is a lot to learn in the process, you need to create a new policy to include mobility and security. The security policy is important when it comes to mobility. You have VMware Workspace ONE with Horizon, to bring the older type of devices, such as bring your own device (BYOD), all consolidated in the same console.

You can make many types of applications available, not only applications developed for mobility or smartphone but any older types of applications can be brought together. We showcase all these features to our clients for them to have an understanding of what can be created by this type of system. Because of the pandemic, the mobility market here in Brazil will soon grow and there is a need for innovating, the purchases of this solution have grown a lot in the last year.

The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally.

There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution.

I have been using this solution for approximately six years.

The solution is stable.

VMware provides the use of the cloud which allows the client the ability to create more research inside this environment and can expand quite well.

If the client has an on-premise solution or has an older environment there can be some challenges. I need to understand if more storage, virtual machines, or other types of additions is need to be made to create a higher availability. It is important for the client to share with me the limitations of their operation to allow me to figure out a proper solution to get around their limitations.

The technical support is very good. The agent was always helpful and responsive.

I have previously used MobileIron and Intune and along with this solution, are the top three. Depending on the use case, one might be better than the other and the main difference is the cost.

The installation and configuring of the solution are easy for a beginner. We help clients with some parts of the environment if needed but mostly the solution is straightforward to understand.

In a standard version, one week is enough to start using the solution, configuring the GUI, and getting through any obstacles that might be encountered. At this point, there can be discussions about the cost. The disadvantage of the older type of license is I need more time to understand the whole installation environment and processes. For example, whether I need to do some integrations or not.

We do the implementation of this solution.

For most of the projects, we use the standard license but for complex ones, we use the older type of processes, integrations, and licenses inside the solution.

Apple and Google need to improve the APIs internally to permit VMware access to updates and use this to create granular security policies inside devices, such as smartphones and tablets. A lot of the time we have to use an older approach because Google and Apple do not release these APIs to VMware. However, they release the same APIs for their own solutions, for example, Apple uses their own configuration.

I rate VMware Workspace ONE a nine out of ten.

The product is a DM solution - a device management solution. It's for our users, for moving devices and laptops. 

We have been manually provisioning everything for end-users, however, with this tool, now we have more control over the items on the end-user side and we can regularly update them from one place. It makes everything much easier.

The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ability to remotely manage the devices. That's what it is meant to do. We can push applications to mobile devices from the portal.

Overall, we've been very happy with VMware.

The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long.

I don't see any such areas where we are lacking. I was just doing the evaluation of other products to see if they have something else. However, this isn't missing anything, even when you look at the competition.

The pricing could always be better. It would be nicer if they were cheaper and more competitive.

We've been using the solution over the last 12 months at least. I've been using the solution for the last three years.

The stability of the solution has always been very good. there are no bugs or glitches It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The solution scales quite well. That's not a problem at all. If a company would like to scale the solution it can do so.

Currently, we have about 250 users on the solution.

The initial setup is not complex. It's very straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the initial setup process.

The deployment took a few days to roll out. We did the implementation about two years ago now, and therefore it's hard to recall exactly what our deployment strategy was at that time.

We had a systems integrator assist us with the initial deployment. We did not completely handle everything in-house by ourselves.

The experience was good. They were able to understand what we need and they deployed it very smoothly.

We have a multi-year contract, however, we'd like the costs to be lowered if possible. Next year we plan to revisit everything and do a price evaluation.

We're a customer and end-users. We've worked with resellers in the past.

We're using the latest version of the solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the solution at a nine. Its capabilities are good and we've been quite happy with it overall.

We use this solution for the secure email gateway. This solution is deployed on-premises. 

There are about 500 people using this solution in my company.

The solution is used to secure corporate data for end-users.

If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user.

There could be improvement with processing the environment to be more user friendly for the end user.

The solution is stable.

On a scale of 1 to 5, I would rate technical support a 3.

Setup is easy.

The license is paid annually.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

It's a very complex solution. It's used to manage any operating system devices with internet connections. I would recommend this solution because it's simple for end-users.
