Enables setting up groups with different deployment policies, but MBM/MCM could be better
Pros and Cons
  • "Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

My customer is a Microsoft and Apple site, 99 percent of the system in Windows Servers, and the company gives every manager an iPad or iPad Pro (500-plus devices).

We deployed the MDM functionality of AirWatch to control all devices and MEM is the next step. We are struggling in MBM/MAM because all the applications are IE compatible.

How has it helped my organization?

The company used DEP to manage all devices previously. Now, with AirWatch (Workspace ONE Advanced) they can manage all devices and apps more easily. Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies.

What is most valuable?

MEM is valuable because all push emails can be monitored.

What needs improvement?

MBM/MCM could be improved. MBM can support specific versions of development tools. If VMware would let the customer know this more clearly, we would not need to waste time explaining this and delaying the project.

Also, 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.

Scalable with good technical support, but integration needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
  • "Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."

What is our primary use case?

I use this solution as a single sign-on, and I can join other domains in my environment. You can also get permission from the users to access something from my desktop or portable.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize.

If some kind of disaster happens then it is possible to restore the identity manager database from a backup.

What needs improvement?

I would like to integrate this solution with VRE and VDI. They can now be installed, but they operate as separate components.

Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for approximately three years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. We can have dual or multiple identity managers and replicate data between them.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is good and we have had no problem with them.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

This is a solution that I recommend.

For the purpose that this solution is designed for it works great, but it doesn't compare well with other solutions.

I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

Feature-rich, and performs comparatively well
Pros and Cons
  • "It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
  • "I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."

What is most valuable?

It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as anti-value.

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

Pricing is an area that could be improved. 

They are much better than Microsoft but it is difficult to compete against them.

Microsoft has everything embedded and VMware is a different product.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate VMware Workspace ONE an eight out of ten.

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
