We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Endpoint Central and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central automatically alerts you if there are newer releases or updates. You do not have to go to their website and check."
"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management capabilities, especially for third-party applications, along with quick and easy configuration and deployment processes."
"Page management and ADA integrations are the most valuable features of ManageEngine Endpoint Central."
"I like being able to image over the network. That's a nice feature that it has. Patch management is pretty decent on it as well."
"The centralized control of all of our Windows hardware that this solution offers has been most valuable to our organization."
"The reporting tool is very good."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
"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."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
"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."
"The solution can scale."
"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"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 make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"The reports provided by the product are an area of concern where improvements are required. The visibility provided by the reports is not very attractive."
"There is a slight delay in customer support, which is something that can be improved."
"ManageEngine Endpoint Central’s scalability could be improved."
"I would like to have the option to install the agent remotely."
"Computer imaging is powerful but breaks frequently. The reason for this breaking is not clear and requires heavy amounts of attention to keep operational. There is a lot of room for this tool to do more but the reliability of this process should be focused on first to ensure core competencies are being fixed before more features are added."
"The pricing is lower than other well-respected solutions in this category."
"The solution isn't fully stable, and, when it goes down, it's hard to get it up and running."
"It is compatible with the systems such as Windows and Mac but not with Linux systems."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"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."
"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."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"The console comes bunched together as a package and inbuilt. Its called Workspace ONE. Whenever we have an issue, we contact the service provider, and instead of a fix, we are just getting the next version of Workspace ONE."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
