"We find it to be reliable."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."

"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."
"Teams component can be a bit cumbersome to use. It takes some time to get it working as expected."
"For Microsoft, maybe bandwidth optimization is one of the areas that need improvement."
"Sometimes the server stops working, and we don’t know why. Occasionally we’ll get a message to the effect of "There is no remote license.""

"There could be some improvement in the integration of the solution."

"Lacks a notification feature when internet is down."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"We'd like more useful support."
"Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit. They have kept too many products as add ons. These need to be bundled with the low-cost, standard version. This will help customers in adopting this technology at a faster pace."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"The mobile device repository is somewhat difficult to manage with a large user base."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."
