We performed a comparison between VMware Player and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."VMware Player's best feature is the ability to run different OS's simultaneously."
"VMware Player helps you to virtualize and install Ubuntu or any other operating system, even on a Windows laptop."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Player is the ability to snapshot with or without memory."
"It's really easy to build testing environments with VMware Player."
"The solution's technical support team is excellent."
"A very easy to use solution."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"The most valuable features of VMware Workspace ONE are security and having support for all the latest features that are coming out from Apple. They're pretty fast at adopting new features. This is one of the most vital aspects of mobile device management systems."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"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's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
"When you go to work on a server, it opens up the whole window, and that causes an error inside VMware Player."
"VMware Player should provide a cloud version with no limitations to hardware resources."
"Its networking features need improvement."
"VMware Player isn't downgradable, so if you have a later set of VMs, you need to upgrade it or figure out a workaround."
"The tool has limited scalability."
"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"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 location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
