Workspace ONE UEM Reviews

1. The ability to use shared device mode for check in/check out for corporate owned devices.
2. Vast numbers of REST API for automation and integration.
3. Very flexible in provisioning and assignment of devices, profiles, contents and apps.

This product enables us to replace all existing stores PDA running windows CE with iPod touch.

1. Better reporting functionality and performance.
2. Improved BYOD solution with true DAR encryption for iOS devices and a better UI for the Airwatch Inbox app.

Over 2 years.

1. We use a SaaS solution from AirWatch and the issue that we have encountered was load issue with automatic app push to 10-60 thousands of devices.
2. Airwatch has quickly added additional resources so that future app updates deployment will not cause problems.

Yes, we have seen inconsistency for performance from time to time.

No, Airwatch has accommodated out expanding number of endpoints.

With Enterprise Service agreement it is a 5/10. Without Enterprise Service agreement it is a 3/10.

With Enterprise Service agreement it is a 5/10. Without Enterprise Service agreement it is a 3/10.

No.

In partnership with a 3rd party vendor, I would rate them at 3.5/10.

Too early to tell as these are devices replacing existing PDA and we have just completed the rollout.

Symantec App Center.

Plan ahead as much as possible. However if there is a need to make significant changes in the environment post rollout, Airwatch is able to accommodate that with the flexibility of their product.

The solution was based on Linux and Windows. We used to test other systems. The solution is quite useful if we are not using encryption. The solution was quite good for my private use cases. It is easy to start something and work from scratch.

I tried to use the tool on an encrypted disk, but it was inconvenient. The encryption was difficult. The product must be available for more hardware.

I have used the solution in the past twelve months.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a ten out of ten. I use the product for my daily routine work.

I rate the ease of setup an eight or nine out of ten. The product is installed on our hardware. It's not available for each server and hardware. The deployment took a few weeks.

I rate the pricing a five out of ten.

Currently, I am using Proxmox. Proxmox is more available for simple tasks on PCs and Laptops.

Currently, the firmware is not working on the hardware. I do simple projects. Integrating the solution with other enterprise systems has moderately improved our operational efficiency. I will recommend the product to others. It is quite good. I like the tool. Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.

The solution is good for controlling mobile devices centrally. When you have a distributed network, it's able to easily manage and centralize.

It's provided us with a lot of benefits. We can control the app and wipe any data remotely in case of loss or theft. 

We can also apply patches to ensure the latest versions are available.

The solution allows us to control everything centrally. 

It's meeting our requirements right now. It's aligned with our internet policy as well as our security policy. 

It's stable and reliable. 

The solution can scale. 

The setup is pretty straightforward. 

Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades. We'd like the product to improve these capabilities to make patch management especially a bit more straightforward. 

We do not need any extra features. 

Technical support could be better. 

I've been using the solution for five years.

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze.

The solution is scalable and easy to expand. 

We have 100 users on it right now. 

Technical support is okay, however, it needs a bit of improvement. 

Positive

We did not use a different solution previously. 

The initial setup was very easy. 

We did a standard deployment process only. There are no customizations that we made. 

There is no maintenance required. 

We handled the solution's deployment in-house, as well as with help from the vendor. 

I can't speak to the exact pricing and licensing. It's pretty reasonable in terms of the cost. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

While it depends on the business needs and the policy requirements, I'd recommend the solution. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

We have some VMware products, and the company uses Workspace ONE since we use the virtualization product, VMware. This is just a virtualization product. 

In work before, we have used the VMware direct connection.

In VMware, its virtualization is good.

I found the initial setup to be easy.

We can scale the solution if we need to. 

The pricing is good. 

Support is helpful and responsive. 

We have some problems with Workspace ONE. We have used the politic MDM for mobile, and it was probably one month before one account just removed it. It's likely an error from Samsung since this device gets updates from Samsung. Once an update happened, they remove this from the MDM platform from Workspace ONE. However, I could not track down the reason this happened. 

We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point. 

It's not completely stable. 

While we have some wrappers in the product, I don't usually find what I want. 

The two-factor identification process needs to be easier. 

I've been using the solution for four months. 

The solution isn't too stable. We've had some errors with the device. I'd rate the stability ya three out of five in terms of stability.

The solution can scale. 

We have around 250 people using it currently. About ten people use the admin panel. 

We've used technical support in the past since we have had problems along the way. Typically, issues can be resolved within a week. That's not too long to wait.

Positive

We're still using VMware Workspace ONE and now starting to use Microsoft Intune.

We are just now starting to use Microsoft Intune, and it's much better than Workspace ONE. It's easy to use for updates. And for control, it's also simpler since we have Office 365 and we have an all-in-one approach with Intune and Azure Active Directory. InTune is just better in a Microsoft environment. 

It's not very difficult. The platform is pretty easy. I did find, however, that the two-factor authentication took some time. I'd rate the overall process a three out of five in terms of ease of setup. 

It is not an expensive solution. The pricing is good. It's also less expensive than InTune. I'd rate their pricing five out of five.  

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I've been pretty happy with its capabilities.

We use Workspace ONE for managing devices. We can create users who can only use systems in the cloud.

It's a large enterprise platform that offers many tools. It's a tool that can be managed in various departments.

VMware is an expensive tool, and we are not using the complete platform. We are paying for a tool that we are not fully using. We need a specific tool that provides us with what we need.

We have decided to switch to another solution that we are currently evaluating and doing PoCs for because we work on iPads only. I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features.

We have been using VMware Workspace One for the last 12 months.

We are currently doing a PoC for Jamf Pro. I am learning and trying to understand the platform. We are still in the testing phase.

It's an expensive tool.

We are currently evaluating different solutions to find the best MDM platform to suit our needs. We are looking at Aurelia Santiago.

We are having some issues with VPN providers. They don't work with the settings that we need.

In a month or two, we will have to connect with the Active Directory for research and to configure the users.

We manage Android devices only, with a custom tool that was created.

I would rate VMware Workspace One a ten out of ten.

We use the solution with Horizon to set up VRA for new solutions.

When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy.

The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I have been using VMware Identity Manager since 2015-16.

The product is unstable.

You can use it anywhere. It's for everyone and every business.

I rate the solution’s scalability a five out of ten.

The initial setup is difficult and takes 30 minutes to complete. Depending on the customer, the deployment and configuration could take hours to weeks.

I rate the initial setup a four out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven or eight out of ten.

I use Workspace ONE for my work with Homeland Security, but we're getting rid of it. VMware is the current mobile user platform for Homeland Security, specifically weapons of mass destruction. I've been consulting with them for the last four years, and I moved over to weapons of mass destruction four months ago. 

They're switching from VMware to Intune, and I was concerned with the due diligence. They've made a decision. and I'm helping them make that transition so that they can properly integrate the state and local devices for detecting chemical, biological, and nuclear attacks.

I just know some people at VMware at the senior level, and I talk to them when necessary. Homeland Security wasn't using the product how they should and they didn't reach out to VMware to identify the holes in the processes or inadequacies of the application that could've been addressed. 

The people in the weapons of mass destruction division didn't have the technical competencies to understand the software solutions, so they brought in a consulting company called Mobile Mentor, which is an Intune reseller. I told them that wasn't a reason to switch. 

VMware Workspace ONE is like any other product. You need to work with the vendor's software engineers to get the features you need to support your infrastructure. They can provide the technical modifications to the software you need to support your environment. 

For example, the Department of Defense has a peculiar IT infrastructure in terms of how they use SonicWall for mobile devices. If someone's using an Apple iPhone or an Android device, how do you partition it to support the mission? Public sector workers need to use a government cell because of the sensitive business they conduct on those devices. Mobile devices also include laptops and cell phones, creating more complexity. 

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. 

I rate VMware Workspace ONE eight out of 10. 

We are resellers of this solution. The general use case for VMware Workspace ONE is when we need a virtual desktop.

VMware Workspace ONE gives our clients more management capacity. It makes administration control more secure, saving them time and money.

The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications.

VMware Workspace ONE is a stable solution.

This solution is scalable.

VMware's technical support is good. It can be difficult to reach the right person, but once you do, they are good. They are a bit slow but effective.

The initial setup is a bit complex. Deployment of VMware Workspace ONE takes about a week.

VMware Workspace requires approximately one to one and a half people to deploy and maintain the solution. These individuals are usually in a server admin or network admin role.

Our clients have commented that while it costs more for the year because of the need to add storage and servers, year two they see a decrease. They are seeing a savings of approximately 35% with the reduced need to buy new laptops and desktops. 

Our customers are concerned about the costs. The solution is higher than they want it to be. There are additional fees beyond the licensing fees. You need to have additional resources, like servers and more storage. This can become very expensive.

If you are considering VMware Workspace ONE, be sure to plan for the extra storage and server costs. 

I would rate this solution a 7 out of 10.
