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."While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"...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 Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"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 most valuable feature is the performance."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"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 main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."
"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."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"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 performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"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 solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"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."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"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."
"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."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"Integration with Microsoft needs improvement. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization."
"The pricing could always be better."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
