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."Mobile device management is most valuable."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"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."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"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."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"It allows us to have an updated inventory of all the devices in real-time with the ability to add personalized information."
"The most valuable features are mobile device management and security (which allows you to quarantine infected devices)."
"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"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 most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"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."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"We opted to go with Microsoft Intune because it just seemed to be a more mature and comprehensive enterprise solution, whereas IBM MaaS360 didn't seem to have the necessary breadth to manage all of our equipment. Along with laptops, I've had some BYODs. IBM MaaS360 just didn't seem as mature in our assessment."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the location reporter. There is a 15-minute delay and this does not allow for any usefulness."
"The interface is clunky and the layout is a bit outdated. Also, I don't think MaaS360 has as many features as Intune. It doesn't integrate with Office as seamlessly as Intune does, which isn't surprising, given that Intune and Office are Microsoft products."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"Its performance is quite good on Apple phones or even mid-range phones. If you install an AirWatch on a phone that is not too powerful, you will have performance issues. That's only because the phone is not too powerful, and there is not enough memory, etc. They could do a lighter version for a less powerful phone. It would also be useful for very small companies that don't want to spend money on expensive phones. Having said that, I don't think that is their target market. If their target market is enterprise, all enterprises perhaps have an agreement with Google or Apple, and they would get a phone that has already been tested, and they know that AirWatch will work on that phone."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
