"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"No issues with scalability."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."

"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"Citrix has to support all of the hypervisors including KVM and OpenStack KVM."
"As an end-to-end solution for implementing Zero Trust principles I would rate it a six or a seven out of 10, because it doesn't cover all aspects of Zero Trust. There are quite a few aspects you need to cover."
"Pricing and technical support needs improvement."
"The user profiles could use some improvement."
"If Citrix can develop something which can have more reach towards the backend infrastructure, other components of the Citrix environment, that would be ideal."
"The cost of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is high and has room for improvement."
"The visibility the solution provides across SaaS, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments, for user and application traffic, is also limited if you do not enable all the services and is based on which services you are utilising. Citrix provides end-to-end visibility based on their services you are utilising."
"We have had issues with certain aspects, which is why we are looking for alternatives. For example, the firewall solution from Citrix is a bit complicated. Integration is hard."

"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."
"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The pricing could always be better."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
