We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 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."As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"We introduced the product as part of the SOC-2 requirement. The tool's most valuable features include keeping the operating system updated, tracking software inventory, controlling computer administrators, and the ability to wipe a computer in case of a security threat. It helps us to be compliant, and it is one of the reasons we implemented it."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"The most valuable features are mobile device management and security (which allows you to quarantine infected devices)."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"The solution can scale."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"The security features should be improved."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"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."
"This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome."
"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."
"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."
"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."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"The pricing could always be better."
