Secure, cost-effective, and helps prevent data leaks
A virtual desktop allows you to access your apps, files, and anything that has to do with your work using an endpoint device. This is much more secure and cost-effective since you don’t have to upgrade your hardware and software. Venn is the software we are using due to its features. It would be better to have the back end more efficient. Desktop as a service, or DaaS, is a cloud computing offering that securely delivers virtual apps and desktops from the cloud to any device. This managed desktop virtualization solution, aka DaaS, is used for provisioning secure SaaS and legacy applications and full Windows-based virtual desktops and delivering them to your workforce. With a predictable pay-as-a-go subscription model, DaaS makes it easy to scale up or down on demand. It’s easy to manage and simplifies many of the IT admin tasks of desktop solutions.

Needs a better management interface, requires more support, and is complex to set up
Initially, the setup itself is quite complex. We had bought what VMware called a starter kit, which came with some professional services to get us up and running with the product. I'd rate it a four out of five in terms of ease of deployment as we did have those professional services to help us. Unfortunately, the implementation, I would have to call a fail. We had several existing devices, and installing the product properly involved wiping the phone and installing and then restoring the user's information. And we had a very large resistance to that approach from our client community. We ended up installing more of a BYOD model, which limited the value of the platform to our organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since the software is launched directly from the computer, not remotely delivered, it has minimized latency and response time."
"We don't need to go to the physical office, and it only requires minimal supervision or assistance from our IT Team."
"It allows us to improve our security and prevent company files and data leaks."
"The solution has proven to be very stable."
"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."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."
"It seems highly stable and 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."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."
 

Cons

"Currently, Venn only uses two platforms/applications: Windows and Mac. It would be great if they could also add more platforms since some BYOD employees might be using an application other than Windows or Mac - for example, Linux."
"It would be better to have the back end more efficient."
"We'd like to see a bit more done with the deployment capabilities."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."
"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"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."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
"The solution can be costly when the customer is dealing with multiple platforms. If a customer is only dealing with iOS, Windows, and Android then Intune is the better choice because there are free licenses."
"It's a highly affordable solution"
"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."
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."
