We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 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."The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"It is a stable solution."
"We've found the scalability to be very good."
"Using this solution has made things more convenient. Earlier, we had to depend a lot more on IT to find and resolve our issues."
"We introduced the product as part of the SOC-2 requirement. The tool's most valuable features include keeping the operating system updated, tracking software inventory, controlling computer administrators, and the ability to wipe a computer in case of a security threat. It helps us to be compliant, and it is one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The ability to send an iPad out to someone and have them auto-provision it when they are out in the field is fantastic. We don't have to have it all configured before we ship it. This is probably the biggest value add."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"The best feature is the ability to control mobile phones, wipe and containerize the data, and keep employees' work data separate from personal data."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"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."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"An area for improvement would be handshaking with Microsoft in terms of trying to get a DLP on Microsoft OS."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams could be better."
"The interface is clunky and the layout is a bit outdated. Also, I don't think MaaS360 has as many features as Intune. It doesn't integrate with Office as seamlessly as Intune does, which isn't surprising, given that Intune and Office are Microsoft products."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the information provided for DLP control. Some of our customers would benefit from this."
"We opted to go with Microsoft Intune because it just seemed to be a more mature and comprehensive enterprise solution, whereas IBM MaaS360 didn't seem to have the necessary breadth to manage all of our equipment. Along with laptops, I've had some BYODs. IBM MaaS360 just didn't seem as mature in our assessment."
"Setup is not too complex."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"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."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"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."
