Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."VMware Player helps you to virtualize and install Ubuntu or any other operating system, even on a Windows laptop."
"The solution's technical support team is excellent."
"It's really easy to build testing environments with VMware Player."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Player is the ability to snapshot with or without memory."
"VMware Player's best feature is the ability to run different OS's simultaneously."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"VMware Player should provide a cloud version with no limitations to hardware resources."
"When you go to work on a server, it opens up the whole window, and that causes an error inside VMware Player."
"The tool has limited scalability."
"VMware Player isn't downgradable, so if you have a later set of VMs, you need to upgrade it or figure out a workaround."
"Its networking features need improvement."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"The mobile device repository is somewhat difficult to manage with a large user base."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."
