VMware Horizon 7 vs VMware Workspace One
We performed a comparison between VMware Horizon 7 and VMware Workspace One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: In terms of pricing and support, the two solutions are on par with each other. VMware Workspace One slightly edges out Horizon 7 due to better remote controls and device tracking. Users of Workspace One find the solution has a better user interface and is easier to configure. With Workspace One you can manage multiple types of devices, even IoT devices. Additionally, if a device gets lost or stolen, you can take control of it quickly, stopping any information leaks from happening. In terms of ease of deployment, though, Horizon 7 wins out.
"I appreciate the ability to have a more centralized environment."
"Horizon 7's most valuable feature is the unified endpoint management."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Horizon 7 is that it can be accessed anywhere in my internal network. It has a lot of flexibility."
"One of the most interesting features in the enterprise version is the ability to do some support. There is a feature for remote control and debugging, which is something we didn't have before having Horizon 7 and the enterprise version."
"Horizon 7 is scalable - we can add more machines or servers easily."
"The ease of deployment is one of the most valuable features. If I want to install something, I can have a test phase to see what sort of impact it will have and whether it will affect production. So I can install it on my lab, make sure it is okay, and if it is, I can deploy it directly to the users or to the staff."
"Scalable and stable virtualization solution, with good technical support offering timely responses."
"The most valuable features are the ability to manage a great number of desktops at once and the remote access for users who are working from outside of the office or from a different office in the country."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."
"The most valuable feature is the security policies."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"The location and remote management services are the most valuable."
"There are some issues with RAM in the system."
"I would like to see simple load-balancing for smaller environments that lack large solutions like F5, or NSX; it should be redundant or unavailable but in a simple way. Perhaps limited to only two components; if more are required, a paid load balancing solution can be used. Load balancing for simple environments, or simple redundancy, is sorely lacking."
"The multimedia playback is not very good and they could improve it by increasing the quality."
"VMware Horizon could be improved with more integration. It is also very costly for Enterprise Plus, which is a drawback. The renewal costs for the license are very, very high."
"The setup of VMware Horizon 7 is easy. However, we have a lot of experience with VMware Horizon 7."
"Areas for improvement in VMware Horizon 7 would be the logging and the troubleshooting, e.g. they could be made clearer."
"The initial setup may be a little difficult for those with no experience."
"The remote application features have some room for improvement."
"We'd like more useful support."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"The pricing could always be better."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."
