Provides ease of use and security, but customer support must be improved
Other than convenience factors, for the most part, the tool does what we need. There are features that would be nice to have, but they are a little bit beyond the scope of a VNC-type application. The tool must provide more integration to enable configuration and compliance. I maintain the solution. The maintenance is not complicated. The product provides access to a single workstation. It doesn’t broadcast to push out updates. We do not incorporate AI into our workflow. VNC Connect does what we need, and it lets me get down with my job. I don't know of any other tools with similar capabilities that are any cheaper. I will recommend the solution to others, but it is not inexpensive. It may not be the right tool for some applications. However, it is the right tool for our environment and our application. Technically, I rate the product a nine or ten out of ten. Since we are facing some challenges with support, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

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

"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
"The product’s ease of use and security are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"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."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
"A very easy to use solution."
"The single sign-on feature, which integrates with the Identity Manager is one of the most vital features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it enables us to remotely manage the devices, which is its purpose, and to push applications to the mobile devices from the portal."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
 

Cons

"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
"Improvements are required in the area of scalability since it is an aspect of the tool where there are shortcomings."
"Ease of access is a bit of a challenge."
"The mobile device repository is somewhat difficult to manage with a large user base."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"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."
"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is not cheap."
"I use the tool's free version."
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."

"I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."
"The price of the solution is costly for the number of users I am using it for."
"The tool is expensive."
"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."
