VMware Horizon 7 vs VMware Workspace One
We performed a comparison between VMware Horizon 7 and VMware Workspace One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: In terms of pricing and support, the two solutions are on par with each other. VMware Workspace One slightly edges out Horizon 7 due to better remote controls and device tracking. Users of Workspace One find the solution has a better user interface and is easier to configure. With Workspace One you can manage multiple types of devices, even IoT devices. Additionally, if a device gets lost or stolen, you can take control of it quickly, stopping any information leaks from happening. In terms of ease of deployment, though, Horizon 7 wins out.
"I like VMware Horizon's ability and performance."
"The most valuable feature in this solution which really helped for my use case was the stand out three dimensional acceleration. It was really important for enhancing the performance for certain clients based on their scenarios."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Horizon 7 is its ease of use."
"It is easy to scale. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The ease of deployment is one of the most valuable features. If I want to install something, I can have a test phase to see what sort of impact it will have and whether it will affect production. So I can install it on my lab, make sure it is okay, and if it is, I can deploy it directly to the users or to the staff."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Horizon 7 is that it can be accessed anywhere in my internal network. It has a lot of flexibility."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is secure remote access to resources."
"The application delivery is it's most valuable feature."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"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."
"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"The remote connection, bandwidth usage, and error connection can be improved. Working with the load balancer sites should also be improved. For example, with Horizon, we can use two clients with a one megabit connection, but with Citrix, we can use four or five clients with the same bandwidth through ICA protocol. VMware must improve remote connection, connection stability, and load balancing."
"The setup of VMware Horizon 7 is easy. However, we have a lot of experience with VMware Horizon 7."
"I would love to see so they can actually allow the use of Linux, from a hosting environment as well as from a VDI client environment."
"There are some issues with RAM in the system."
"The support team's technicalities and the pricing of the solution need improvement."
"I would like to see seamless integration with the cloud because right now, the dependency is on the cloud providers."
"There is room for a more cost-effective pricing structure, as it could be more affordable."
"We have seen and face notable challenges in the configuration aspect specifically while creating and assigning groups which have proven to be a very cumbersome and tiring process. Apart from this the Reliance on the Active Directory as the only directory has its own limitation, which include the requirement to purchase a windows server for an environment outside the standard set up."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"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."
"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."
"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."
"I tried to use the tool on an encrypted disk, but it was inconvenient."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
