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."It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that we can find a lost device or shut the device down and wipe it is good for HIPAA."
"All features that we have deployed are useful. We do access office emails on our smartphones, and we have complete sync with Active Directory. Our calendar also gets synced in the MaaS360 application. We also ensure that the data from these official applications is not being misused by any of the employees. We have disabled cut, copy, paste, and all such features. It ensures that all the official data that our employees have on their smartphones is secure. Security is the paramount feature that we value in this product."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"It is a stable solution."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
"We find it to be reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the security policies."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"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."
"People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the location reporter. There is a 15-minute delay and this does not allow for any usefulness."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."
"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."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"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."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"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."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
