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 key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any support from the manufacturer."
"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."
"It allows us to have an updated inventory of all the devices in real-time with the ability to add personalized information."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"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."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"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 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"When we have MaaS360 installed on smartphones, it consumes the battery of the device at a much faster pace. This is one of the areas of improvement that I would like to highlight. We have also observed that in the contact list, a lot of duplication is happening. A single contact is duplicated three or four times, which also consumes more memory resources. If they can work on improving it for these aspects, it will have a more positive impact not only on the way the application is being consumed by the user but also on user satisfaction. A lot of new features are being deployed or rolled out by companies that are competitors of IBM MaaS360. IBM will have to ensure that all those features are on board so that we have a complete suite of features in the platform, rather than deploying multiple diverse solutions to cater to the requirements of our customers."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"The pricing could always be better."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"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 initial setup is a bit complex."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
