Utilization of many application, useful Kiosk mode, and helpful customer support
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for approximately six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

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

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

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

We do the implementation of this solution.

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

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Pros and Cons
  • "The location and remote management services are the most valuable."
  • "The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."

What is our primary use case?

We have many use cases in our customer's environment and use this solution to manage applications on devices. We have clients with Android devices, Apple devices with macOS, and Rugged devices with Windows CE.

What is most valuable?

The location and remote management services are the most valuable.

What needs improvement?

The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices.

We are having some issues with JavaScript or XML, and there is not any information provided for resolving it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good. However, there is some downtime.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution scalability is very good.

We have clients mostly in medium to large-scale enterprises. In some of our large customers, they have approximately 1,300 devices using the soltuion.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have not had good experiences with technical support. We have many tickets remaining that are unresolved. The agents could improve by having better knowledge and faster response time.

There could be more troubleshooting information provided because sometimes we do not know how to resolve a problem or issue.

How was the initial setup?

The on-premises version of the solution installation is complex.

What about the implementation team?

We do the implementation of the solution and the time depends on the client's environment. It could take up to two weeks to implement but it depends a lot on the client's infrastructure.

We have a team of two engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Our clients have evaluated Soti. Mainly to resolve issues and problems with some devices that are using JavaScript environments.

What other advice do I have?

I rate VMware Workspace ONE a nine out of ten.

Quick to deploy, easy to set up, and offers good remote device management
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
  • "The pricing could always be better."

What is our primary use case?

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

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

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.

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

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

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."
  • "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 our primary use case?

We use it for managing mobiles at a very elementary level. Basically, we want to control mobiles and allow a limited number of apps.

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for a year at the most.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. There are no stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

  • "I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."

What is most valuable?

It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as anti-value.

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

Pricing is an area that could be improved. 

They are much better than Microsoft but it is difficult to compete against them.

Microsoft has everything embedded and VMware is a different product.

Stable, scalable, good multi-platform capabilities, and good support
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
  • "The initial setup should be simplified."

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.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty complicated. It can be a steep learning curve.

It can take between three to six months to deploy and get everything fully working.

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

Pricing is the correct price, it's normal pricing. I think that the price is reasonable.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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.

What other advice do I have?

My advice is to find a good integrator to assist with the implementation.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

A stable product and the interface for SCAP is good
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
  • "The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We use Workspace ONE with our shared devices.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol.

What needs improvement?

The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved.

The cost of this product is a little high and should be reduced.

There are a lot of interfaces and components, which makes the setup a little bit complex.

If you have a lot of shared devices and want to have a mass deployment, then it is time-consuming to do. They have a feature where you can send out a code for enrollment under VMware, to obtain a user ID, but even with that, it has to be done one by one. You have to go inside and dig out the code, one at a time, and record it. It would be helpful if it generated a report so that you could use it to talk with the team. As it is now, it is not difficult but it could have been done better.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using VMware Workstation ONE for a few months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This product is quite stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I presume that it is scalable.

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

We have used and are still using other similar solutions.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for us was simplified because we started with implementing a PoC. There are too many interfaces involved, which makes it complex at the start of the deployment.

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

The cost is a little bit high.

What other advice do I have?

As we have just begun using this product, we are still comparing some of the features that it has.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
