VMware Workspace ONE Reviews

We currently have 50-100 employees, and are growing towards 100 employees. We use some of our devices quite confidentially, and we use AirWatch to protect those devices. We want to separate personal data, and the company data because our employees are using their personal smart phone to access our email. It is just for data the email.

I don't have to worry anymore about my data after I used the EMM.

I want to see VMware move the management to the cloud. For now, the management is the premise of our server, but we want to move it to the cloud.

Yes, this product is stable. 

Our company is still pretty small, so I have no issues with scalability at the moment. I have heard that this VMware product can manage over 20,000 employees. We are not at that stage of need yet.

The premise is that you just have to install the software. We had already programmed the server. It was a bit complex on the setting up of the policy, at first. Once the policy was done, then we had to update. Every so often, we still need to update. It's not too complex.

I have no opinion about the pricing. 

VMware is the better solution versus other things that are out there. It is an EMM to help us problem solve issues. 

We use it for containerization and email management, EMM.

Previously, my end-users would carry their complete email in their Outlook client. After we started using this solution, people started to use our actual email, with the help of the mobile client. It enables people to access their mail from wherever they want, whenever they want, and however they want. It enables users to carry a highly manageable platform and also a highly secure one.

In terms of IT, we can achieve security control, but from the end-user's point of view they have flexibility in how they use their mail.

It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables end-users to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security, while still carrying their own BYOD.

Redundancy, manageability, and lack of complexity, are the typical things which make people choose VMware AirWatch.

Whatever product you choose in the VMware portfolio, everything is stable and very reliable. It is very controlled and very stable for product usage and in terms of manageability.

We have definitely not had any issues with scalability. It is highly redundant, highly scalable.

It is very easy to deploy. For the installation and configuration, we had straightforward documentation. With the help of consultants and architects, we developed the right design. They helped us to move forward.

If you ask me, in terms of installation, configuration, management, and monitoring, this solution is far better than others.

In terms of pricing, this solution is definitely much more expensive compared to other solutions, like MobileIron or MaaS360 or any other product in the market. This solution is more expensive by 30 or 40 percent. That is very hard because, while enterprise companies can afford for this pricing, if you look at the SMB sector, they can't afford this pricing, and they won't adopt this kind of technology.

We did a pilot of MaaS360.

When compared to other mobility solutions:

• VMware AirWatch vs MaaS360
• VMware AirWatch vs MobileIron
• VMware AirWatch vs Blackberry BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite (Good Technology).

We think VMware AirWatch stands ahead of the other solutions. Other players can improve their functionalities and features by looking at the features of VMware AirWatch. This product is much more stable, much more compliant, and much more redundant. Also, rolling out the solution is much easier when compared to other products or vendors.

This is a reliable solution, not like other vendors which may be good in some areas but lack in other areas. When compared to other products, AirWatch is highly scalable, redundant, reliable, and easily manageable. People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly.

My clients are using VMware Workspace ONE for information protection and enterprise mobility management.

The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability.

The integration on the application side could improve.

I have been using VMware Workspace ONE for approximately three years.

I rate the stability of VMware Workspace ONE a nine out of ten.

Our clients are mostly medium-sized businesses with users from 200 to 2,000.

The support provided by the vendor is good. However, they have a limited skill set in providing support.

I rate the support of VMware Workspace ONE an eight out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup of VMware Workspace ONE is of a middle level of difficulty. It requires special training and skill sets.

The time implementation can take between 15 days to three months.

I rate the initial setup of VMware Workspace ONE an eight out of ten.

The price of VMware Workspace ONE is expensive. However, for the features that are provided, the price is reasonable. There is a subscription to use the solution.

I rate the price of VMware Workspace ONE a seven out of ten.

The decision to implement VMware Workspace ONE depends entirely on the specific use cases at hand. If an organization requires a unified console for managing multiple aspects such as cloud services, email, information protection, and mobile endpoint management (MEM), then this solution would be suitable. However, if the requirement is solely for mobile device management (MDM), alternative solutions may be more appropriate.

I rate VMware Workspace ONE a nine out of ten.

We deploy this solution for enterprise-size organizations. We are VMware partners and resellers. I am the CEO of a system integration company.

Valuable features of this solution are the device management and the good integration with third parties. The product has improved steadily over the years. 

I'd like to see a more Microsoft-oriented product with a modern enterprise mobility management platform fully integrated with a Windows ecosystem and the capability to natively integrate with SCCM for a common management for a hybrid workspace. The solution lacks a specific environment such as Windows. I would also like to see a more specific customization for each single platform, such as macOS, Apple devices, and the like. It would make the product more competitive. 

I've been using this solution for over five years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

The technical support is usually quite good once you escalate past the first level. 

The initial setup is an easy process. It's more complex than if it were a cloud solution but comparing the platform with some other on-premise solutions it's quite easy. 

Licensing costs are similar to other products and I believe the cost is reasonable. 

The solution is good, particularly the latest version. I would recommend moving to the Cloud version, because I believe there is a VMware offset version of the product. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

VMware Workspace ONE is used mainly for mobile device management.

What I found most valuable in VMware Workspace ONE is that it's user-friendly. It has a good interface for users to get access to applications and files. It's also a good source of feedback between IT and users.

A room for improvement for this product is its integration with Microsoft. It could be better, though most of it is there. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization. It's something VMware is probably working on, but that's what's missing currently.

I've been working with VMware Workspace ONE for six years.

VMware Workspace ONE is a stable solution.

VMware Workspace ONE is scalable. When they're in the cloud, scaling will be handled by VMware, but for on-premises environments, it's easy to scale up if you need more resources for servers.

VMware technical support is good. It depends on what trouble we get, but if there's a known fix, they're able to fix it fast. If there's a fix that needs to be created, they will focus on it and prioritize it.

The initial setup for this solution is straightforward, especially because I've done this for six years. If you know what you're doing, setting it up is easy.

This solution was implemented in-house. I could probably have done everything, but I don't have time to do everything myself, so we work as a team and share tasks between us. We don't need VMware tech support for the deployment, not unless we find some bugs.

VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You pay upfront for one year. You have to buy licenses for one year at a time.

I evaluated Microsoft Enterprise Mobility.

I work as a consultant, so I'm working with VMware Workspace ONE for my customers. I work with several different versions of this solution, but mostly with the latest version, and it will also depend on the requirement. Deployment is both on-premises and on cloud.

Completing the deployment for a cloud configuration of VMware Workspace ONE depends on how much you want to do, but a good, basic configuration could take three to five days.

We work with different customers, so this solution scales from a few hundred to several thousand users. I'm working mainly with iOS, Android, and macOS. They also have colleagues that handle the Windows desktop configurations.

The number of people needed for a VMware Workspace ONE deployment varies. I can't do everything alone, but if you are running it on-premises, the company should have resources, including handling vacations and sickness. There should be available resources for its deployment.

I'm giving VMware Workspace ONE a score of eight out of ten.

We deploy Workspace ONE for our customers for Windows, Mac, and modern desktop Windows 10 management. It also provides MDM capability and application push for their mobile devices. That's the use case we are focusing on — application push and patch management. That's the modern management we are doing right now.

Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution.

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.

We have been using VMware Workspace ONE for ourselves as well as for our customers for nearly five years.

WorkspaceONE's stability is excellent. I haven't seen any issues in the last four years— no major disasters.

We are managing around 30,000 endpoints and devices, so it's a highly scalable solution. We're recommending our customers renew the solution. We might grow 5 to 10 percent in the next year.

VMware tech support is professional. There are delays sometimes, but it's good overall.

A long time ago, I was using Blackberry. 

Workspace ONE is relatively easy to install. A few things are complicated from a high availability perspective. Otherwise, it's straightforward. Total deployment took one week. One person can deploy and manage the solution.  

I rate Workspace ONE nine out of 10. Users are working from home all over the world, so companies need to consider things from a security perspective and the segregation of personal use from office work.

I use the solution to manage the shared devices in the organization.

All the features of the solution are very useful. The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize.

The solution should improve its support. When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution.

I have been using the solution for the past one year.

When VMware upgraded the solution, we faced some problems with bugs. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

The scalability of the solution is fine. About 2000 employees in our organization used the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward once you get used to it.

To start using the solution and access their profile and applications, the users must enter their email addresses and passwords in the laptops they receive. 

We need around twelve employees to implement the solution from scratch.

We paid a yearly license fee for the solution. Our organization has stopped using the solution because it was expensive.

We took two months to understand and manage the tool properly. It is a cloud-based solution. Our client might have used a third-party consultant to deploy the solution. I came to the team after the implementation was done. We do not use the solution anymore. We migrated from VMware Workspace ONE to Microsoft Intune because of the price.

The solution is really good for a large company. It provides different use cases for the devices. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

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.
