Streamline identity lifecycle management with intuitive interfaces and robust policy features

The functions of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle, especially the IGA, are quite strong with their custom forms and workflows integrated. The user interface is very friendly and easy to use, making it a good product overall. However, it still has to be on-premise and the cloud version is not easily accessible, as dedicated instances are required and machines cannot be shared as multi-tenant for various customers. The advanced policy features of RSA definitely help in defining certain policies such as segregation of duties. That's particularly useful along with creating different access reviews. Regarding access control in simplifying access management, RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle has strong foundations of groups and roles, which help in defining all policies very easily. This makes it very easy to integrate with other access management tools or privileged access management tools.

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 data collection is excellent and easy to do. It does not require a lot of configuration nor does it require rules to be written like other competitors do."

"Soft and hard tokens for two factor authentication has been introduced."

"The user interface is very friendly and easy to use, making it a good product overall."

"All of the features in this product are good and this is a product that I recommend."

"Never - one thing I can say about RSA is that the boxes are stable and solid."

"Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access."

"With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes."

"The most valuable feature is the security, in particular, the One Time Password support."

More RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle pros

"VMware Workspace ONE in the mobile space has been very sustained in terms of how they've been rated and how they've grown over time."

"If a customer requires a true solution then I would say VMware is the right choice."

"It makes us more efficient in managing these devices, in lieu of not having it, that's for sure."

"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"

"The Workspace ONE UEM interface is very easy to understand; there are not many doubts regarding configuration and providing use cases, so it's good."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices, as we can track Android devices and cross-functional devices in Workspace ONE in a simplified platform for managing all of our devices."

"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."

"I like the technical support a lot; it's really first hand, high-level support."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"There are scalability issues. This product does not scale very well. It is not a good product for load balancing / active–active architecture."

"It could be a little more flexible with the installation of the product."

"The user interface and workflow need improvement, and more connectors would help."

"We were excited that the self-provision feature was now built into the box but disappointed at the implementation."

"RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization."

"Application and appliance stability needs improvement."

"The stability of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve; it has some bugs that need to be fixed."

"This product is missing a lot of features which other competitors are providing. One of the key features that are missing right now is risk scoring. Additionally, there is not much scope for customization - everything is hard-coded and predefined, so it does not allow the developers to make many modifications."

More RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle cons

"We have faced some issues with the stability of this solution. It is not as stable on mobile devices as Jamf Pro and Mac devices."

"A room for improvement for this product is its integration with Microsoft. It could be better, though most of it is there."

"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."

"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."

"I tried to use the tool on an encrypted disk, but it was inconvenient."

"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."

"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."

"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."

"We are using the cloud platform, but we don't find it compatible to be served as a multi-tenant platform. This is a large drawback. It becomes expensive because it is then an all-dedicated solution. You have to have a separate tenant for each client, which increases the cost. The overall unit pricing can be less expensive than how it is right now."

"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."

"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Our organization has stopped using the solution because it was expensive."

"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."

"Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD."

"For the moment, we have a multi-year contract, meaning that we cannot go with a different solution at this time even if the price should prove more favorable."

"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."
