"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."

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.
