We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user 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."
"The solution can scale."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
"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."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The price could be lower."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"Sometimes IBM MaaS360 seems buggy...The solution's technical support team is sometimes slow to respond and not competent enough."
"The pricing could always be better."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"The console comes bunched together as a package and inbuilt. Its called Workspace ONE. Whenever we have an issue, we contact the service provider, and instead of a fix, we are just getting the next version of Workspace ONE."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
