A scalable, stable, and easy-to-deploy solution that gives us the ability to control mobiles remotely
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for managing mobiles at a very elementary level. Basically, we want to control mobiles and allow a limited number of apps.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for a year at the most.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. There are no stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It scales well. Everybody in our organization is using it.

How are customer service and technical support?

They are perfect. They are available whenever we need them.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We didn't use any other solution previously.

How was the initial setup?

It was simple.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Its pricing was okay for our company.

What other advice do I have?

I don't have any experience with other similar solutions, so I can't compare it with others. We decided to go with it and stick with it. It served the purpose in my previous organization. It is also serving the purpose in this organization. It is pretty good. VMware is one of the leaders.

I would rate VMware Workspace ONE a nine out of ten.

It lets us see whether users have rooted their phones and allows us to set standards before letting phones onto our network. It lacks, however, app-level support.

Valuable Features

  • Mobile provisioning
  • Security
  • Some mobile application provisioning

Improvements to My Organization

It lets us see whether users have rooted their phones, and set standards before letting phones on our network. It has minimal OS levels, and provides the abilities to enforce security.

Room for Improvement

  • Application-level support
  • Per-app VPN coming together

Stability Issues

It hasn’t always been good, but getting better. We do quasi-hosted situations, so getting it to the right level took a while.

Scalability Issues

I don't have the visibility of this.

Customer Service and Technical Support

We haven't had to use it.

Initial Setup

I wasn't involved in the setup.

Other Solutions Considered

We chose Airwatch because it has a good setup, is easy to administer, and the POC was good.

Other Advice

I would recommend it, as it's very stable and robust. Make sure you stay current with it, and up to date.

The solution offers a great deal of management for devices. But, the level of support still needs improvement

What is most valuable?

The Organization group approach they have taken to manage both Device and Administrative access

How has it helped my organization?

It has help in providing administrators with a way to separate devices based on business use cases.

What needs improvement?

There are currently canned reports that provide a a great deal of device detail. But, there could be room for the solutions to allow for custom reporting for ad-hoc reports

For how long have I used the solution?

3 years

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

This is an area that could use some improvement. we have had a few incidents where the level of support was not what it was pictured to be.

Technical Support:

There are a lot of very skilled engineers well versed in all aspects of the solution.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have used multiple solutions. We are responsible for service delivery so we are expected to be familiar with the main players in the industry.

How was the initial setup?

It depends. On-prem is a lot more involved than SaaS. There are a lot of moving parts for the on-prem version of the solution that can be consolidates if it is the desire of the client/customer.

What about the implementation team?

Vendor. We have had a great experience with all of our current clients.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Yes, MobileIron, MaaS360, Blackberry, XenMobile, Afaria, Soti, Good.

A great solution for protecting your mobile devices
Pros and Cons
  • "The remote management and location capabilities are good."
  • "The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution simply for the management of iPads.

What is most valuable?

The remote management and location capabilities are good. We don't use the Find My iPhone app, so this has helped a lot.

What needs improvement?

The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user. The app installer will notify you when an update is available, but it doesn't tell you what's going to be installed. So if you tell the user to update, they won't do it because if they look at the app installer, they're going to see that they have the latest version.

They also need a different UI for the app installer.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's stable. Every now and then you have some hiccups, but overall, it's a stable product. In regards to stability, I would give it an eight out of ten.

How are customer service and technical support?

It really depends on the issue that you have. Some support members can really answer the questions, and some of them seem really lost regarding what to do; then you get escalated from one department to another, so it really depends on what's going on.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten, I would give VMware Workspace ONE a rating of eight.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Great for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."
  • "We have experienced some connectivity issues."

What is our primary use case?

We are using complements of Horizon solutions for our customers. I'm the general manager of sales. 

What is most valuable?

We are using two VDA solutions, providing dedicated tech for end-users in our company. The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users or GPU base or any IFP kind of base of end-user then we recommend Horizon solutions.

What needs improvement?

We have experienced some connectivity issues in that the application in VMware is very slow compared to SecureX. I'd like to see better application delivery. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a very stable product. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable product. 

How are customer service and support?

In terms of VMware products, customer support could be better.

How was the initial setup?

If you do the right sizing and take the right approach the initial setup is easy but if something is amiss then it's very complicated.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The initial pricing is very reasonable but their pricing model is variable and the pricing can be high or low. 

What other advice do I have?

If a customer requires a true solution then I would say VMware is the right choice. But if you're looking for application video or ADSX kind of solutions, then GFX is better.

I rate the solution nine out of 10. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Easy deployment with good performance and can scale well
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has proven to be very stable."
  • "It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution for our client, a university. We use it in the lab for the students.

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to deploy. It's got a straightforward implementation that isn't hard to execute.

The product offers very good performance. 

We're able to use HTML for the web connection, which is quite helpful.

The solution has proven to be very stable.

We find the solution is rather scalable.

What needs improvement?

It would be very helpful if we could integrate it directly into the database.

It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount.

It would be ideal if the solution could enhance the user interface and make a modern dashboard.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for just one year. Previously, we used Horizon 7. I haven't been using this solution for very long.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. It doesn't have bugs or glitches that affect its performance. It doesn't crash or freeze at all. It's pretty reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it should be able to do so without issue.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support for this solution is very good. They are knowledgeable and responsive. We're pretty happy with them so far and have been satisfied with the level of service we receive.

How was the initial setup?

The solution is not too complex to set up. We found the implementation fairly easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is quite expansive.

What other advice do I have?

We're a VMware partner.

Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It's quite good, however, it's also quite expensive.

Upgrades have to be scheduled, and the features we need are too expensive
Pros and Cons
  • "We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
  • "We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for managing BYOD devices and also for government-furnished devices - we support the Department of Energy. We use it for about 1500 devices.

How has it helped my organization?

It makes us more efficient in managing these devices, in lieu of not having it, that's for sure. We can also impose cybersecurity requirements.

What is most valuable?

For the most part it works, that's valuable to us. 

What needs improvement?

We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us.

There are features that we want like the ability to use Derived Credentials and things like that, which we can do with AirWatch, but doing so we move up into a different tier of licensing and the cost increases dramatically. To get the features we want, we can do the same thing with Microsoft Intune and we're going to see a product savings of over $70,000 a year.
