Ability to segregate data, well-suited for medium enterprises and installation is quick
We have some challenges. If we look at the challenges we face in the market, there are a few products like Sophos, where there are features of MaaS360, and the IBM EDR product, ReaQta. So, there are features from both ReaQta and MaaS360 available in Sophos, as well as a few other products, which we have challenges in replacing. MaaS360 definitely caters to a few of the requirements, but when someone is going for a solution, all the features are not available in MaaS360. It is like a combo, MaaS360, and IBM ReaQta, that is, EDR, ReaQta. Both of them, together as a combo plan, actually offer a very good proposition in terms of market competitors. There are a few products like Sophos and another product which have features from both endpoint detection and response and mobile device management. Because we have two different products with those features, we face challenges in proposing a particular product for the client. It is like a marketing challenge. The way other competitor products are available in the market. So it is better to have a different positive team, but, again, to remain in competition and have better scalability. So, IBM needs to integrate a few features that the competitors have in their products. No doubt, this is a different product, MaaS360. We call it MDM. We call it endpoint mobile device management. Then we call it different names that MaaS360 falls into. But when we are talking about competitor products, to remain in the competition, you need to have features that others provide. IBM surely has those features in other products, but not in MaaS360. The only challenge was replacing already existing competitor products with MaaS360. So, that’s the only area where we struggle because they always come with those requirements that they are already getting in the competitor’s product, which is not available in IBM’s MaaS360. So this product lacks some features, like Unified Endpoint Management.

Helps save time and money for users
I used Ivanti Endpoint Manager because I had one of their other tools in my old company, which is a DSM. DSM was used for my old environment, which I was responsible for, and I was really satisfied with Ivanti. Ivanti later on decided not to sell DSM anymore and stopped supporting it. Ivanti then offered people a tool named LANDESK. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is a tool we are bringing in place in our current company, and it has a similar functionality to DSM, a reason why my company decided to go for it. We also install machines from scratch with the tool. We can also patch third-party products, and it does not even have to be Microsoft always. Actually, we get a lot of freeing up resources because we can now manage Ivanti Endpoint Manager from a central point, which was not possible earlier, and we had to run to each machine.

The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on
I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It can change policies based on geolocation or schedules."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"​The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any ​support from the manufacturer.​​​"
"We introduced the product as part of the SOC-2 requirement. The tool's most valuable features include keeping the operating system updated, tracking software inventory, controlling computer administrators, and the ability to wipe a computer in case of a security threat. It helps us to be compliant, and it is one of the reasons we implemented it."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"MaaS can force people to lock their phones. Not everyone likes having a PIN and other security features on their phones, but this sets a requirement that you can't get your emails unless you have a PIN on your phone. That was a good feature, and we were able to easily increase the PIN from four digits to six digits. Overall, it was pretty user-friendly."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"I like the way mobile device management works in terms of how the data is segregated, as well as the office and personal data."
"The product saves time and money."
"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."
"People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly."
"No issues with scalability."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"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."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
 

Cons

"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"Configuring policies is difficult in IBM MaaS360. It also needs to improve usability."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"Local technical support would be helpful."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"VMware Workspace ONE should allow certain common settings and restrictions across multiple operating systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IBM products are expensive compared to the tools offered by its competitors. IBM MaaS360 is an expensive tool."
"IBM products are a little pricey."
"MaaS360 is priced at a balance. It is not as expensive as AirWatch or Jamf and is not a cheap solution like a few of the local products."
"IBM MaaS360 is cheaper compared to other alternatives. Others are at least three to six times costlier."
"Fees are monthly and it's approximately $8 per user."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"I feel the pricing to be very high."
"I rate IBM MaaS360’s pricing a six out of ten."
Information not available
"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."
"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."
"Its pricing was okay for our company."
"I think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."
