Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."VMware Player helps you to virtualize and install Ubuntu or any other operating system, even on a Windows laptop."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Player is the ability to snapshot with or without memory."
"VMware Player's best feature is the ability to run different OS's simultaneously."

"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"We find it to be reliable."
"Workspace ONE has something like an orchestrator model that allows me to configure a set of steps to onboard new PCs, laptops, or tablets. So, it makes my work easy."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"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."
"The solution can scale."
"VMware Player isn't downgradable, so if you have a later set of VMs, you need to upgrade it or figure out a workaround."
"VMware Player should provide a cloud version with no limitations to hardware resources."
"The tool has limited scalability."
"When you go to work on a server, it opens up the whole window, and that causes an error inside VMware Player."
"Its networking features need improvement."
"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 initial setup is a bit complex."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"The mobile device repository is somewhat difficult to manage with a large user base."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"The pricing could always be better."
