We performed a comparison between VMware Workspace ONE and VMware Workstation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM).
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The feature with the highest rating for me is its employee management. I can also praise how versatile it is in terms of operating systems. It has good support for multiple operating systems and can easily manage them all. Not just that, but it can also support any kind of tool that can be run on all these operating systems."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"Technical support is very good."
"It will not harm any of the computer settings to run a specific program. For example, if a program needs a specific security policy, we don't have to use the shared configuration. We have an individual copy of Windows installed on the virtual machine, so anybody can access that. It helps us a lot."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is snapshot."
"Great at solving connection problems."
"Because the setup is so easy, this is a solution that can be used at a moment's notice."
"The product is really easy to use."
"The simplicity of the deployment and the implementation, and the footprint for the hardware are some of the solution's valuable features."
"The product is stable, very easy to deploy, easy to use, easy to configure, and easy to set up."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I tried to use the tool on an encrypted disk, but it was inconvenient."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"It could have more platforms and CPUs."
"The solution can be expensive."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"VMware Workstation has some network limitations which could improve, it is not as flexible as VMware NSX. Additionally, it could support operating systems better. I only run some Linux versions and Windows at the moment but it would be nice to be able to take whatever operating system you want and run it."
"The solution should provide a guide on its installation."
"The support can be improved."
"VMware Workstation uses more resources like CPU and disk space, especially the CPU, which is a shortcoming that needs improvement."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting capabilities, particularly around snapshot activity. It would be helpful to have a summary of changes made prior to deploying an application, allowing us to provide comprehensive reports to our management on a regular basis."
