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 can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"There is a single pane of glass for user access and a single sign-on facility for the user. If you have already logged in to Microsoft Azure or on-premises, you can redirect directly to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, monitor all your security threats, and analyze the data associated with the application in a single, unified way."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"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."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are remote control and setting up a phone."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"Remote enablement feature and access to internal resources on the VPN."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."
"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"I wanted to check if there is any provision at the Intune level to restrict certain things, such as a website, but unfortunately, that feature is available only in Microsoft Defender. Intune has web filtering capabilities, but they are only useful for protection from malicious websites, whereas we would like to be able to restrict a website. For example, YouTube is a clean website. No one would identify it as a malicious website, but if we want to stop the end-users from going to that website, we have to go for another product, such as Microsoft Defender or another third-party proxy solution. It would be great if this capability is included in Intune."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"The price could be lower."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"The pricing could always be better."
"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."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"VMware Workspace ONE can improve in virtual reality. Customers are now looking toward virtual reality devices. Though it supports virtual reality, it's treated as an Android device. Customers want to deal with VR devices, they want a specific VR tool. Not an Android device VR tool."
"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."
"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."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."
