We performed a comparison between VMware Workspace ONE and Microsoft Intune based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Microsoft Intune has higher ratings and is more affordable than VMware Workspace ONE.
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"A very easy to use solution."
"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."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"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."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
