Technical support is very good.

Sentiment score
7.6
VMware Workspace ONE UEM is stable and reliable, with the cloud version outperforming competitors despite some setup challenges.

The version I use now is very stable, especially compared to previous versions like eight point zero and eight point one.
 

Room For Improvement

SailPoint Identity Security Cloud needs improvements in authentication, integration, customization, user interface, and competitive pricing strategy.
Workspace ONE UEM requires improvements in reporting, interface simplicity, support speed, pricing, platform consistency, integration, and security features.
SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta.
I find raising a ticket to be too complex, which could be improved for better user-friendliness.
We have also put our enhancement request, and the SailPoint team has accepted that the feature is not available and plans to include it going forward.
Another concern is that support is getting reduced by Workspace ONE; some customers are saying there are support issues on Workspace ONE right now.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing high but justified by its comprehensive features and robust capabilities.
VMware Workspace ONE UEM is seen as premium with flexible pricing, competitive due to features, but costs can increase.
SailPoint is cheaper than ServiceNow, which is very expensive.
The pricing of SailPoint could be better.
The costs are slightly higher than SailPoint IQ due to included charges for maintenance.
 

Valuable Features

SailPoint Identity Security Cloud offers efficient, scalable identity management with AI integration, automation, and user-friendly governance features.
Workspace ONE UEM provides efficient device management, security, and integration with user-friendly multi-platform support and centralized administration.
The automation of provisioning and deprovisioning, managing contractors, temporary users, and the overall automation factor is fantastic.
From a project management point of view, the tool supports audit success with features to segregate permanent and contractor employees, integrate with HR systems, and indicate other sources for contractors.
The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility.
In UEM, the most helpful part of Windows Management is the baseline policy and central script; using this, you can replace all the AD GPO policy.

Empower users with robust IT security and seamless approval workflows
I raise requests on SailPoint, for example, if there is any server-related access needed. I use it more as an end-user, like raising simple tickets for identity access management SailPoint is more focused on IT security. I find that the approvals that flow through SailPoint are much better than…
Emthias Abdul Salam - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a valuable single sign-on feature and a user-friendly interface with outstanding scaling capabilities
The single sign-on feature, which integrates with the Identity Manager is one of the most vital features. The VMware Workspace ONE Tunnel is another crucial aspect of the solution. Authentication processes become seamless with the single sign-on feature of VMware Workspace ONE. Whether the application resides within the premises or outside, the users don't need to reenter the credentials, VMware Workspace ONE auto authenticates using scripts. The solution can also integrate the app catalog with the Intelligent Hub, which acts as the agent. Applications catalogs and similar aspects can be accessed through one single interface, whether it's from an Android, iOS, or Windows device. It's a very user-friendly tool in terms of accessibility.
