Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."The whole point of it is to run Windows VMs on a Mac. This is the most valuable feature. There is snapshotting, but we don't really use that. The Pro version allows me to actually attach to the Windows ESXi infrastructure at the backend, and I'm able to create a session that I can attach to the VMware hooks at the backend, so one is running a VM, and the whole operating system is running on the actual Mac. The other one is literally a frontend to the VMs that are running in the infrastructure at the backend. These are the two main features I use."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"The product is easy to use and has a simple user interface."
"The most value that it provides is that it is versatile."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"VMware Fusion's licensing cost needs improvement."
"I would like to see newer and updated cloud functions."
"Its installation process could be simpler."
"The way they handle snapshotting can be improved. One time, I moved a machine from one to another, and I tried to pull it up on the second machine, but it didn't work. This was because I had not cleaned up the snapshot before I deleted it and moved it across. So, when I tried to pull it up, it wouldn't let me bring it up. The backups for the VMs themselves can also be improved. I pretty much have to rely on Windows backups and not something on VMware. That's where it needs improvement. I am able to upload from my Fusion into the ESXi easily. I'm able to spin something up on Fusion and push it into the big arena, but the reverse is not as easy, that is, trying to pull something down from that. I would love to have a functionality where I could pull something from the VMware infrastructure into Fusion, but I'm not sure if I can take something from ESXi and pull it into Fusion."
"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."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
