We performed a comparison between Parallels Desktop and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."I like how, with Parallels, you can either boot into Mac or Windows to get better control over the resources of the laptops since you're sharing the resources in dual mode."
"Parallels Desktop integrates seamlessly with macOS. It works better than VMware on Apple operating systems."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of VMware Workspace ONE are security and having support for all the latest features that are coming out from Apple. They're pretty fast at adopting new features. This is one of the most vital aspects of mobile device management systems."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"We've found the solution to be easy to use."
"There may have been some issues with device drivers on my Mac. Similarly, there are some issues with transferring data from Parallels to the Mac."
"The biggest challenge is compatibility between VMware and Parallels because the two systems are incompatible. It can be challenging if you are switching between Windows and Mac. I recommend sticking with one product because there isn't good compatibility between the different products."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"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."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
