Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."The solution has proven to be very stable."
"The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it enables us to remotely manage the devices, which is its purpose, and to push applications to the mobile devices from the portal."
"You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
"It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."
"We have experienced some connectivity issues."
"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"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."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
