We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"Easy to use."
"Initial setup was easy."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) are its ability to do geofencing for devices, manage thousands of devices with only a push of a button, and quick application deployment in seconds. It's amazing. For example, in an education scenario, you can deploy an application update for thousands of iPads in two clicks."
"The best features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager include its simplicity and ease of use. It is straightforward to set up and manage devices compared to other products."
"It’s helped us manage our endpoints."
"The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"We use this solution for MDM."
"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard."
"The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"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 location and remote management services are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the security policies."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is the support for multiple devices. Not only iOS, and Android, but all kinds of platforms, including VR device management. Additionally, it has a tunneling feature, which no other solution provides. Other solutions have to integrate with other tools to have this functionality, whereas VMware Workspace ONE has its own application gateway tunnel."
"We find it to be reliable."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough."
"We've really only experimented with their iOS client. This is due to the fact that their Windows client has a lot to be desired. We first tried experimenting with the Windows one but very quickly determined that it wasn't going to cut it for most Windows cases. The Windows portion of this product needs improvement. I'd say that it's not really viable."
"They need to allocate more energy in terms of their offering to devices that are not Apple devices."
"The price could be better."
"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"Cisco's authorized scripting can be complicated. For example, we sometimes enter the wrong code using this script, and then we had to dictate to find the problem."
"The tool's pricing needs to be more flexible like Cisco's."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
