Automation capabilities enhance cost-saving and scaling efforts
The auto-heal functionality needs improvement. Currently, the feature is limited because it only allows one heal condition and doesn't support multiple triggers. The capability to use different conditions, like the presence of online users during a failed installation, is missing. The current state makes it less useful, but I have even submitted a feature request for a better solution.

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

"The solution is one hundred percent stable and very much straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Nerdio are its automation capabilities, specifically the autoscale and auto-heal functionalities."
"Nerdio is completely an automation platform offering auto-scaling and flexibility."
"The customer service from Nerdio is excellent, and I even know the CEO personally and have a positive experience, rating it nine out of ten."
"The solution's single plane of glass approach is beneficial. The endpoint management is very good and specific. One of their competitors is Intune, and you have leaks from other services within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
"We decided to go with it and stick with it; it served the purpose in my previous organization and is also serving the purpose in this organization."
"The authentication integration is great; it can be combined with basically different kinds of authentication mechanisms and provide a single sign-on."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"The solution includes support for remote work. It also features identity management. This setup supports our users remotely by providing default monitoring and tunneling into our environment, eliminating the need for additional VPN software to access backend applications and staff resources."
 

Cons

"The auto-heal functionality needs improvement. Currently, the feature is limited because it only allows one heal condition and doesn't support multiple triggers."
"The auto-heal functionality needs improvement."
"They should start providing the certifications on Nerdio for training and enhancements, mainly for the open community of IT."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"It was a bit complex on the setting up of the policy, at first."
"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."
"Support is probably the main challenge that we have. Their support was not very good."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"We have experienced some connectivity issues."
"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."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."
"While it is not inexpensive in terms of price, it is definitely worth it."
"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."
"AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month. Microsoft bundles everything, and then that bundling makes the product free for the customers."
"Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD."
"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."
"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
