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.
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"There is a single pane of glass for user access and a single sign-on facility for the user. If you have already logged in to Microsoft Azure or on-premises, you can redirect directly to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, monitor all your security threats, and analyze the data associated with the application in a single, unified way."
"The solution is stable."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"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."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."
"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'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."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"We find it to be reliable."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different systems, mainly wireless SIEMS and other analytical systems that we want to introduce."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"We'd like more useful support."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"Setup is not too complex."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"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."
