We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It is a very helpful solution."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"It is a stable solution."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world."
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."
"Workspace ONE has something like an orchestrator model that allows me to configure a set of steps to onboard new PCs, laptops, or tablets. So, it makes my work easy."
"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."
"It was easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"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."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"The pricing could always be better."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"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."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
