We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity 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."Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"Although we have not looked at the whole product and explored it completely, we find that all the authentication features that we are using now are valuable."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it enables us to remotely manage the devices, which is its purpose, and to push applications to the mobile devices from the portal."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"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."
"The contained browser is a good feature."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"Technical support is slow."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
"The solution needs to adapt to the cloud based reality of the current world model. Some customers may have reluctance to this, but it is the next level for all of the big providers. Azure, AWS and Google are all on the forefront of cloud-based solutions."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"We'd like more useful support."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to 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."
