Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is pretty sharp and very responsive."
"Because of iboss, I did not have to assign web filtering tasks to my techs on a daily basis."
"Valuable features: Within the filter: Controls (Web categories, applications, and Allow/Block list) and Network (local Subnets). Within the reporter: Logs (Event Log) and Reports."
"It was a very easy product to install. It can be deployed very fast."
"Its initial setup was straightforward."
"The security aspect of the solution, particularly the malware behind it, is excellent. That's something that really helped us out. It's not just a simple proxy that just blocks the insights of potential threats that come on behind it. They do malware detection and that helps us a lot."
"Granular setup, which was able to set different levels of filters using the OUs in the AD."
"Our primary use case for this product is DLP,"
"The solution is scalable."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"Jamf Connect allows for easy and seamless joining of Mac devices to Azure AD, eliminating the need for third-party involvement or support engineer assistance."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"Workspace ONE has something like an orchestrator model that allows me to configure a set of steps to onboard new PCs, laptops, or tablets. So, it makes my work easy."
"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The solution is stable."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"One of the features that I enjoyed most was the integration with Azure AD because I could use VMware Identity Manager to standardize the User Principal Name coming from Active Directory. You have Azure AD Connect to do that. In between, if you have vIDM handling it, you can easily get the synchronization of users into your VM and standardize the User Principal Name. If you require quality assurance for handling it, you can actually count on the vIDM to do so. That was one of the main things I enjoyed about the product."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
 

Cons

"The dashboards for local use could be better."
"Its pricing could be better."
"File integrity monitoring would be very advantageous as an additional feature."
"The solution could be stronger on the integration side and offer more cloud applications like G Suite or Oracle."
"To scale up, a new iboss Node Blade Chassis must be purchased."
"The area I would like to see improvement in is the ability with in the reporter to navigate directly to the content the user is traversing. It is kind of there, but it's not perfect. Quite frequently, I receive links that lead me to pages with error messages."
"Sometimes the agent stops working in iboss, and we have to reinstall the agent."
"Sometimes, obviously, there are bugs."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"The configuration could be faster."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"We have faced issues with the product's configuration. If we use the tool with other business manager solutions, then there is the issue of naming conventions. The tool needs to be careful with newer updates so that it doesn't break any of the existing configurations."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"When a Mac is joined to Azure, the generic Pro console in the MDM should accurately display the Mac as joined to Azure in the inventory section. Currently, it shows "no domain account found," which can be misleading."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution."
"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."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The pricing model could be improved, especially considering the availability of alternative MDM solutions like Kandji, which offers similar features for free or at a lower cost."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"The pricing is good."
"We pay 2 dollars per device monthly. For the plus version, you have to pay 4 dollars per month. I think the product will give discounts based on the number of users and devices."
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."
"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."
"We pay approximately thirty to thirty-five euros per device per month for the complete suite, and this is a fixed cost with one, three, or five-year licensing in advance. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, making it affordable."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
"The pricing currently is higher than the competition."
"We pay approximately $6.50 per user for the standard version. If you are paying for an enterprise license that includes VDI then it will cost approximately $25 per user on a monthly basis."
"The cost is a little bit high."
