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 is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"We've found the scalability to be very good."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"It was easy to use."
"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"The reporting and alerting could be improved."
"The price could be lower."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"User interface is basic and not very intuitive."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"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."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"Its performance is quite good on Apple phones or even mid-range phones. If you install an AirWatch on a phone that is not too powerful, you will have performance issues. That's only because the phone is not too powerful, and there is not enough memory, etc. They could do a lighter version for a less powerful phone. It would also be useful for very small companies that don't want to spend money on expensive phones. Having said that, I don't think that is their target market. If their target market is enterprise, all enterprises perhaps have an agreement with Google or Apple, and they would get a phone that has already been tested, and they know that AirWatch will work on that phone."
"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."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"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."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"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 bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
