Comparison Results: In terms of pricing and support, the two solutions are on par with each other. VMware Workspace One slightly edges out Horizon 7 due to better remote controls and device tracking. Users of Workspace One find the solution has a better user interface and is easier to configure. With Workspace One you can manage multiple types of devices, even IoT devices. Additionally, if a device gets lost or stolen, you can take control of it quickly, stopping any information leaks from happening. In terms of ease of deployment, though, Horizon 7 wins out.
"We use VMware Horizon to provide remote access for remote users."
"We use VMware Horizon to digitalize environments."
"From my standpoint, the desktop is the most valuable feature."
"It stands as a robust setup with considerable capabilities."
"It is easy to scale. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"Horizon 7 is scalable - we can add more machines or servers easily."
"It offers great flexibility, allowing us to access it as a complete virtual machine or even just as individual applications."
"We don't have to pay for HyperFlex. The solution's speed gives a nice user experience."
"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"The solution's single plane of glass approach is beneficial. The endpoint management is very good and specific. One of their competitors is Intune, and you have leaks from other services within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The product fails to support Mac or Apple workstations."
"There is room for improvement in the integration with other parts of the suite. For example, you currently need separate windows to manage app volumes and the dynamic environment manager (DEM)."
"The majority of things in VMware Horizon can be done only in Windows and not in Linux. There are Linux customers who would like to use VMware Horizon's features."
"Horizon 7's performance could be improved."
"They could incorporate an application library for application learning and licensing."
"I would love to see so they can actually allow the use of Linux, from a hosting environment as well as from a VDI client environment."
"I would like to see seamless integration with the cloud because right now, the dependency is on the cloud providers."
"In the next release, I would like to have more support when optimizing the master templates for PDI. There are tools that are available to be used but they are not supported at the moment and are more, "use at your own risk.""
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"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."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple 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."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
