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 policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"The solution is quite stable."
"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 encryption and mobile design."
"One valuable feature is the ability to provide a secure environment. Another is the kiosk mode where MaaS360 can be used over a tablet or mobile device to ensure that a single application is used."
"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."
"It has good stability."
"It was easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."
"We find it to be reliable."
"The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"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."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"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."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"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."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"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."
"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."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
