We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Endpoint Central and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"It's easy to manage."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"The most important feature we found to be useful in the COVID situation is the secure connection, which gives the IT support staff the ability to seamlessly connect with the users remotely and in a secure way."
"The centralized control of all of our Windows hardware that this solution offers has been most valuable to our organization."
"It's a complete product that allows you to remote troubleshoot, has an inventory of systems."
"One of the benefits of Desktop Central is it made the provisioning process simpler because now we have a provisioning package. We have around 1,500 laptops at the moment and all these PCs were provisioned by a provisioning package. In the provisioning package, we have integrated every aspect of renaming, deploying applications, patching, etc., so we simply execute the provisioning package and as soon as it's executed, it will install the management agent. Once the agent is installed, it will take care of all the tasks, so we don't have to sit in front of the computer to prepare the machine. This really helps us to provision the PC quickly with our agent."
"Page management and ADA integrations are the most valuable features of ManageEngine Endpoint Central."
"The mobile functionality is very easy."
"All of Desktop Central's features are valuable, especially its simplicity."
"What is great about the patch management solution, is that it patches OS, applications, browsers, plug-ins, and firmware updates."
"We find it to be reliable."
"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"The performance sometimes lags a bit because the solution is demanding on system resources."
"Improvement should be done as per customer requirements."
"ManageEngine could be improved by giving customers an option to perform certain actions proactively. Since I was a consultant, I worked on different products and some had advantages over ManageEngine. For example, proactive remediation—you want to proactively check something on the computers and run the script. In ManageEngine, you have the option to run the script, but Intune has the option to do so proactively. ManageEngine doesn't have this. You should have the option to act proactively, not just going ahead and fixing it once it's done. Proactive remediation should be a feature."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central is very limited. When you scan your system, it will only recognize Microsoft Windows Defender and BitLocker."
"It might be helpful if they offered a simpler way to use the OS deployment function. It's a bit complicated for most of the customers."
"There are occasional glitches."
"There is a slight delay in customer support, which is something that can be improved."
"Tech support is mediocre at best."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"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."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"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."
