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."Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"The tool's most valuable features are application, distribution, and security. It helps to block user access."
"The most valuable features are mobile device management and security (which allows you to quarantine infected devices)."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"The ability to send an iPad out to someone and have them auto-provision it when they are out in the field is fantastic. We don't have to have it all configured before we ship it. This is probably the biggest value add."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"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."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"Configuring policies is difficult in IBM MaaS360. It also needs to improve usability."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"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 app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"The technical support could be improved."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"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."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."
"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
