We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity 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.
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The solution is stable."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature is the security policies."
"We've found the solution to be easy to use."
"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"The feature with the highest rating for me is its employee management. I can also praise how versatile it is in terms of operating systems. It has good support for multiple operating systems and can easily manage them all. Not just that, but it can also support any kind of tool that can be run on all these operating systems."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The solution's storage capacity could be increased."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"The integration should be made easier."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"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."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
