We performed a comparison between VMware Workspace ONE and VMware Workstation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)."I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"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."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"It was easy to use."
"It has good stability."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"The technical support is good."
"I appreciate the ease of backup and snapshot creation. The ability to revert to previous versions without losing data is very useful for our team."
"I like that it's easy to use. It's easy to deploy virtual machines. You have to insert your ISO and the image of your OS and configure it. They provide a step-by-step guide, and you have to follow it. In the end, you have to start the machine, and that's all you have to do. I liked that they synchronized the mouse, keyboard, and everything. When you finish the installation, it directly links to your laptop. This makes copying and pasting things from my laptop inside the virtual machine easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is an easy-to-use product."
"I have found this product excellent for test/dev environments. This is 90% of what I use this product for."
"The most valuable feature of the VMware Workstation is the ease to create a development environment. When you have different ongoing developments, you often need to create a lot of different development environments. With this workstation solution, you can have a development environment for all the things you develop."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The product is really easy to use."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"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"
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"Setup is not too complex."
"The technical support could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"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."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"Performance could be improved, it's somewhat clunky."
"The big issue that we've always had with VMware, was the disparity between what was presented for a Windows-based client and a Linux-based client. The Windows client was always two or three releases ahead of the Linux client. We always wanted VMware to change and improve the feature sets between the client connector on Linux and on Windows."
"It would be great if VMware Workstation had more networking options and compatibility, that would be great. I would like to deploy virtual switches and play around with networking a bit more. Otherwise, I have to deploy ESXi Virtual Edition and emulate it, which is painful and clunky."
"The product is outdated."
"I would want to see features included that make deployment easier."
"They could include official support for macOS virtualization within VMware Workstation."
"The interface is a little wonky and needs to be improved."
"It takes too much time to load all the plug-ins and software."
