"We use VMware Horizon to provide remote access for remote users."
"Scalable and stable virtualization solution, with good technical support offering timely responses."
"The application delivery is it's most valuable feature."
"The benefits of this solution are that it is modern and it works perfectly well with the rest of the VMware environments we have. Having this vertical integration is what matters to us as an organization and this solution excels in this area. You deploy it and it works without much hassle."
"I appreciate the ability to have a more centralized environment."
"VMware offers a friendly environment, and it's easy to provide the user with the package. It is a bundled solution that is readily deployable. The advantage lies in its simplicity, it requires minimal expertise."
"The most valuable features are the ability to manage a great number of desktops at once and the remote access for users who are working from outside of the office or from a different office in the country."
"From my standpoint, the desktop is the most valuable feature."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the security policies."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The majority of things in VMware Horizon can be done only in Windows and not in Linux. There are Linux customers who would like to use VMware Horizon's features."
"The product fails to support Mac or Apple workstations."
"What I would like to see improved is not so much about the product. It's more about how to get information about products. It's always too much sales pitching and fancy works and stuff."
"The product integration on local client machines running Linux needs improvement."
"The remote application features have some room for improvement."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if VMware invested in developing a robust reporting engine, providing insights into user activities, locations, and more."
"The multimedia playback is not very good and they could improve it by increasing the quality."
"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."
"The technical support could be improved."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
"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."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."
