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."The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"MaaS can force people to lock their phones. Not everyone likes having a PIN and other security features on their phones, but this sets a requirement that you can't get your emails unless you have a PIN on your phone. That was a good feature, and we were able to easily increase the PIN from four digits to six digits. Overall, it was pretty user-friendly."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"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."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"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."
"The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any support from the manufacturer."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"It has good stability."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"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."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"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."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the location reporter. There is a 15-minute delay and this does not allow for any usefulness."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"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."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
