Comparison of Results: Based on these parameters, Microsoft Remote Desktop Service seems to be the superior solution. Vmware Workspace ONE’s inability to integrate with Microsoft solutions and high cost seem to make Microsoft Remote Desktop Service a better choice.
"The solution is scalable."
"It's simple to set up."
"The most valuable feature of this solution at the moment is the HTML5 web client. You get a browser experience, not just the terminal sort of client, and the integration with Azure multi-factor application."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is stable and reliable."
"The solution offers good value for money."
"The performance is one of the main features of this solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are ease of use and the simple environment."
"It's largely stable."
"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution."
"It has good stability."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"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 contained browser is a good feature."
"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."
"We'd like, in the future, if it would work with Linux or Unix-based operating systems or even Mac."
"I want to connect easily from an external network even when I'm not in my enterprise or company. It should be easy to connect or integrate Microsoft Teams, for example, with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services."
"The biggest reason we don't use the solution for our company's clients is the solution's prices."
"We encounter challenges with portability, especially for users of iOS devices."
"The stability must be improved."
"There have been some network issues in the solution. So, when we used to connect it, the solution suddenly got disconnected. So the network part needs to be improved."
"Microsoft should be more compatible with other operating system."
"We are searching for a product with better remote access and remote sessions."
"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."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"I tried to use the tool on an encrypted disk, but it was inconvenient."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
