We performed a comparison between VMware Workspace ONE and Microsoft Intune based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Microsoft Intune has higher ratings and is more affordable than VMware Workspace ONE.
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"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."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"We find it to be reliable."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"The technical support could be improved."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"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."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."

If you are only using Windows, it will be a great decision. However, if you are using Mac and Linux you will still need WS1 /JAMF or any other MDM solutions. Intune has extensive capacities on Windows but limited capabilities on MAC.
My suggestion will be
MAC - WS1/JAMF
Windows : Intune
Compliance check: Intune for the entire fleet. This will allow you to leverage the conditional access capabilities of Azure AD.
First of all, what is WS1? I think you should have Intune now as part of your E3 subscription (not sure of it, so please check your billing menu). Intune gives you a lot of flexibility to set rules to deploy to systems.
