Workspace ONE UEM and AWS Directory Service are key players in enterprise management, with Workspace ONE UEM having the upper hand in mobile device management features and AWS Directory Service offering cost-effectiveness and seamless integration capabilities.
Features: Workspace ONE UEM provides a comprehensive suite of mobile device management features, including shared device mode, REST API integration, and secure email gateway. AWS Directory Service offers identity management functionalities, secure access protocols, and integration with AWS resources, although its mobile management features are limited.
Room for Improvement: Workspace ONE UEM could enhance its reporting capabilities, BYOD solutions, and Apple device support. AWS Directory Service needs better security protocol clarity and expanded integration options with traditional directory services, along with improvements in cloud watch service configuration.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Workspace ONE UEM allows flexible deployment across various cloud configurations, with a generally responsive customer support system. AWS Directory Service is primarily cloud-focused with mixed reviews on support, highlighting inconsistencies in entry-level assistance.
Pricing and ROI: Workspace ONE UEM is often seen as expensive, particularly for SMBs, whereas AWS Directory Service is viewed as cost-effective, offering efficient pricing management. AWS shows a quicker ROI for identity tasks, while Workspace ONE UEM provides long-term savings in secured environments.

AWS Directory Service lets you run Microsoft Active Directory (AD) as a managed service. AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, also referred to as AWS Managed Microsoft AD, is powered by Windows Server 2012 R2. When you select and launch this directory type, it is created as a highly available pair of domain controllers connected to your virtual private cloud (VPC). The domain controllers run in different Availability Zones in a region of your choice. Host monitoring and recovery, data replication, snapshots, and software updates are automatically configured and managed for you.

Reviews from Real Users
Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:
PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
