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 solution is easy to use."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"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."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"The graphic, friendly interface allowed us to start without almost any support from the manufacturer."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"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."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"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."
"It was easy to use."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."
"The solution can scale."
"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"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."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"They should allow for the building of custom reports with graphics."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"The price could be lower."
"The solution needs to offer live technical support. Right now, it's just a chat window and it's rather unhelpful."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"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."
"Can be added process of export/import environment configuration to simplify any migration processes."
"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."
"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."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
