We performed a comparison between VMware Workspace ONE and Microsoft Intune based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Microsoft Intune has higher ratings and is more affordable than VMware Workspace ONE.
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"The solution is stable."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"A very easy to use solution."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"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."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"We'd like more useful support."
"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"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."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."

If you are only using Windows, it will be a great decision. However, if you are using Mac and Linux you will still need WS1 /JAMF or any other MDM solutions. Intune has extensive capacities on Windows but limited capabilities on MAC.
My suggestion will be
MAC - WS1/JAMF
Windows : Intune
Compliance check: Intune for the entire fleet. This will allow you to leverage the conditional access capabilities of Azure AD.
First of all, what is WS1? I think you should have Intune now as part of your E3 subscription (not sure of it, so please check your billing menu). Intune gives you a lot of flexibility to set rules to deploy to systems.
