We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) 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."The solution is stable."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"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."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"The solution is easy to use and support."
"The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The product provides a universal dashboard."
"The cloud dashboard's analytics data is particularly valuable, giving me insights into user activities and making it easy to track and manage devices."
"The most significant benefit is that the deployment is quick and painless. You don't need a specialized IT department to implement and scale the network. It's easy to maintain, too. It only requires one or two network administrators."
"We experience no downtime, no breakdowns, all the user readings are exact, and it gives us quick analysis so we can apply security measures."
"It's very easy to just keep adding devices as needed."
"It's robust, and we like the device availability, ease of purchase, and supplier stock availability."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"No issues with scalability."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"I wanted to check if there is any provision at the Intune level to restrict certain things, such as a website, but unfortunately, that feature is available only in Microsoft Defender. Intune has web filtering capabilities, but they are only useful for protection from malicious websites, whereas we would like to be able to restrict a website. For example, YouTube is a clean website. No one would identify it as a malicious website, but if we want to stop the end-users from going to that website, we have to go for another product, such as Microsoft Defender or another third-party proxy solution. It would be great if this capability is included in Intune."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"The tool's pricing needs to be more flexible like Cisco's."
"Integration with other tools, such as, ConnectWise Automate."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough."
"There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better."
"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."
"Meraki is limiting our connections."
"It would be beneficial to have better integration with other OS."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"We'd like more useful support."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
