We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Endpoint Central 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.
"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."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"I like being able to image over the network. That's a nice feature that it has. Patch management is pretty decent on it as well."
"The most valuable in Desktop Central is the way it is tightly coupled with the rest of the modules and the entire gamut of ManageEngine."
"We use the product to know about our assets and manage remote support."
"It's a complete product that allows you to remote troubleshoot, has an inventory of systems."
"We can scale the product."
"The most important feature we found to be useful in the COVID situation is the secure connection, which gives the IT support staff the ability to seamlessly connect with the users remotely and in a secure way."
"The product works perfectly for patch management and software deployments."
"The initial setup is easy."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"It was easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"In relation to ManageEngine Endpoint Central, ManageEngine NGAV seems to be completely useless right now."
"The reporting analytics could improve in ManageEngine Desktop Central. However, there are some third-party add-ins or modules you can purchase to do reporting analytics."
"ManageEngine could be improved by giving customers an option to perform certain actions proactively. Since I was a consultant, I worked on different products and some had advantages over ManageEngine. For example, proactive remediation—you want to proactively check something on the computers and run the script. In ManageEngine, you have the option to run the script, but Intune has the option to do so proactively. ManageEngine doesn't have this. You should have the option to act proactively, not just going ahead and fixing it once it's done. Proactive remediation should be a feature."
"The team I've currently got is not using it particularly well, due to the fact that they don't know how to use it particularly well. They've not done any training and so on."
"The team should work on improving the stability, particularly with massive patches deployment, clients are not 100% getting patches and the information provided by the system does not help; more detailed report would be very useful."
"The solution is expensive."
"The performance sometimes lags a bit because the solution is demanding on system resources."
"I would like to see them include the ability to find out the network usage but I believe that might be a feature of it already."
"Integration with Microsoft needs improvement. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization."
"The technical support could be improved."
"I tried to use the tool on an encrypted disk, but it was inconvenient."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
