Sentiment score
6.0
Workspace ONE UEM support receives mixed reviews, highlighting quick responses but also delays and inconsistent initial resolutions.
It is not poor support, but it is not perfect support we're getting right now; it is not an immediate solution, and it may take two or three days.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.4
Tenable Cloud Security is praised for its scalability and adaptability, although complex multi-cloud asset management requires improvements.
Sentiment score

Workspace ONE UEM scales effectively, integrating smoothly with cloud environments, though complexities arise in larger on-premises setups.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Tenable Cloud Security is stable with high user ratings, though some suggest minor improvements despite no major outages.
Sentiment score
7.6
VMware Workspace ONE UEM is stable and reliable, with the cloud version outperforming competitors despite some setup challenges.
 

Room For Improvement

Tenable Cloud Security needs faster operations, improved support, detailed reporting, AI integration, and easier multi-cloud implementation.
Workspace ONE UEM requires improvements in reporting, interface simplicity, support speed, pricing, platform consistency, integration, and security features.
The only complaint I hear in the market is from resellers that Tenable management team in Brazil doesn't play fair with the channel and resellers.
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

Users find Tenable Cloud Security's subscription model reasonably priced and well-suited for enterprises, offering good value compared to competitors.
VMware Workspace ONE UEM is seen as premium with flexible pricing, competitive due to features, but costs can increase.
 

Valuable Features

Tenable Cloud Security offers comprehensive vulnerability detection, deep cloud analysis, IAM features, and multi-cloud integration into a single dashboard.
Workspace ONE UEM provides efficient device management, security, and integration with user-friendly multi-platform support and centralized administration.
Perhaps the best functionalities are related to promoting a deeper analysis of the environment where applications are running in terms of creating a double armor of security to block threats that may come in the cloud with Tenable Cloud Security.
The best features Tenable Cloud Security offers in my experience are automatic scanning, frequent scanning, and automatic finding, which I find valuable.
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.

Featured Reviews

Antonio Scola - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers reliable security support and encourages a safe migration to cloud environments while there is room for better reseller collaboration
I really don't know to tell the truth because we sell many solutions and don't sell exclusively Tenable, so I'm not in a condition to give a precise definition of what could be improved. My perception is this: when customer A needs Tenable Cloud Security, we introduce and demonstrate it. They POC, they appreciate it. The solution serves in such use cases ABC. I am very pragmatic and straightforward - as long as they use or want the solution, I am interested. If they don't, my question is what are the main objections? They may discuss pricing, or they may say they thought the solution had certain technical capabilities that they could not find.
Ajit Pratap Kundan - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that needs to improve scalability but is useful to manage user
There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance, including the separation of duties of the users. In my company, we are not able to create a policy for the separation of duties of the users, so it is an area where improvement is required. The official authentication and fingerprint authentication should be part of VMware Identity Manager, and I feel these areas are currently missing. The scalability of the product needs to improve. The product should be tightly integrated with the third-party products because it's not like a customer is going to purchase all the VMware products, as they might have different solutions for different purposes.
