VMware Horizon 7 vs VMware Workspace One
We performed a comparison between VMware Horizon 7 and VMware Workspace One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: In terms of pricing and support, the two solutions are on par with each other. VMware Workspace One slightly edges out Horizon 7 due to better remote controls and device tracking. Users of Workspace One find the solution has a better user interface and is easier to configure. With Workspace One you can manage multiple types of devices, even IoT devices. Additionally, if a device gets lost or stolen, you can take control of it quickly, stopping any information leaks from happening. In terms of ease of deployment, though, Horizon 7 wins out.
"One of the most interesting features in the enterprise version is the ability to do some support. There is a feature for remote control and debugging, which is something we didn't have before having Horizon 7 and the enterprise version."
"It is a stable solution. It is wonderful for multi-user environments, and it supports different virtual machines and operating systems. You can go for any kind of virtual machine. It has many features, especially for a call center. You don't have the issue of computers going down from time to time. You just need to copy the virtual machine to deploy it. You also don't need many people to maintain computers. With Horizon 7, you just need one or two people."
"We are happy with the interface, configurations, pricing and support."
"Horizon 7 is scalable - we can add more machines or servers easily."
"Its most valuable feature is the rapid and versatile access from clients operating on various Windows, Linux, and MacOS systems."
"We like that VMware is the top competitor in virtualization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is secure remote access to resources."
"The most valuable features are the ability to manage a great number of desktops at once and the remote access for users who are working from outside of the office or from a different office in the country."
"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."
"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"It was easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The contained browser is a good feature."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"My deployment is complex and I hope it will only take a month."
"The initial setup may be a little difficult for those with no experience."
"There is room for a more cost-effective pricing structure, as it could be more affordable."
"In the next release, I would like to have more support when optimizing the master templates for PDI. There are tools that are available to be used but they are not supported at the moment and are more, "use at your own risk.""
"The solution has a lot of issues and bugs."
"The multimedia playback is not very good and they could improve it by increasing the quality."
"VMware Horizon could be improved with more integration. It is also very costly for Enterprise Plus, which is a drawback. The renewal costs for the license are very, very high."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing could always be better."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"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."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
