Featured Reviews

George Onalo - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise DevOps Lead at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automating least-privilege audits has accelerated migrations but needs stronger Terraform and CI/CD support
The platform can be vastly improved by introducing native, 'Terraform-aware' guardrails. Currently, the platform's automated remediation mechanisms modify live policies directly in the AWS console, which immediately causes configuration drift inside our declarative Terraform state files. The next release should output recommended policy fixes directly as valid Terraform HCL code snippets or automated GitHub Pull Requests.Additionally, expanding its graph-based analysis to support multi-cloud identity tracking across Microsoft Azure (Entra ID) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) would provide true enterprise-wide utility. Lastly, incorporating smarter alert grouping for identical microservice container task roles would significantly reduce alert fatigue for lean DevOps teams.
Vishal Bhatia - PeerSpot reviewer
Trainer/Consultant at Koenig Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Effective product tracking and monitoring enhances daily operations despite needing documentation improvement
The documentation part of Workspace ONE UEM can be confusing. The documentation is not comprehensive compared to other VMware solutions or Microsoft documentation. Most people struggle to connect the dots when looking at the documentation. Even the training material and PowerPoint slide decks that trainers use are sometimes too confusing or overwhelming, with too much content but not enough clarity. The support side has recently become weaker compared to what it used to be with VMware. This is another area that needs improvement. Since working with Workspace ONE UEM from when it was AirWatch, it has improved significantly over the last five years. However, there are still some gray areas and scope for improvement, especially in documentation and workflow between different aspects of the solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"IAM Health Cloud has positively impacted my organization by giving us all the required dashboards that we can manage everything from one place."
"By shrinking our IAM audit prep time by 40% and cutting post-migration security rework by up to 70%, the tool is effectively saving my organization 15 to 20 engineering hours per project."
"The single sign-on feature, which integrates with the Identity Manager is one of the most vital features."
"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is the support for multiple devices. Not only iOS, and Android, but all kinds of platforms, including VR device management. Additionally, it has a tunneling feature, which no other solution provides. Other solutions have to integrate with other tools to have this functionality, whereas VMware Workspace ONE has its own application gateway tunnel."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product that can do many things."
"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the contained browser of the product."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"There are various MDM vendors, and I've used at least five of them, and the reason I prefer AirWatch is simply because it helps me to think more in terms of a future perspective and has given me the right tools for my enterprise."
 

Cons

"I choose an eight out of ten because I think this technology world is evolving very rapidly and AI is stepping into the technology."
"While IAM Health Cloud is an exceptional observability engine for AWS, its automated remediation can cause configuration drift if you manage your infrastructure strictly through Terraform."
"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."
"VMware should develop an integrated platform for their security products to give a singular integrated and holistic view of the devices covered by different security products whether Workspace One or Carbon Black."
"Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit. They have kept too many products as add ons. These need to be bundled with the low-cost, standard version. This will help customers in adopting this technology at a faster pace."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"Scalability is a problem because we have a service provider who is supposed to maintain the backend with patching."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"A room for improvement for this product is its integration with Microsoft. It could be better, though most of it is there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
"If you have a host of custom requirements (including licensing), make sure to set aside enough time for the initial setup because it can take up to a few weeks depending on how complex your environment is."
"VMware Workspace ONE can fit any organization because if you need more devices there are only additional fees."
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
"For big users, it's around $500."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"We pay approximately thirty to thirty-five euros per device per month for the complete suite, and this is a fixed cost with one, three, or five-year licensing in advance. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, making it affordable."
"The license is paid annually."
