"Good screen draw feature and ability to use two monitors."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives me full accessibility to my servers."
"In terms of the valuable features, I like the profile, the new version is really good."
"The technical support is good."
"It's part of the Microsoft Operating system and is free."
"The product saves time."
"The solution is now stable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"The contained browser is a good feature."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"No issues with scalability."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."
"Microsoft still has some really bad remote desktop appliance for Mac."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is not the easiest. You need to have a certain understanding of how Microsoft is provisioning the solution to be able to set it up and use it."
"Sometimes difficult to set up without the requirement for login credentials each time."
"The solution isn't as good as the Citrix option."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is only available for the professional version of the Windows operating system. This restricts a lot of users. The feature should be available for all versions."
"I would like to see the hard drives work without locking up and integrate the local drives in the next release."
"Users have to re-enter their ID and password every time they log on, which is tedious and repetitive."
"The performance depends on connectivity."
"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."
"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 reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit. They have kept too many products as add ons. These need to be bundled with the low-cost, standard version. This will help customers in adopting this technology at a faster pace."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"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."
