Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."
"The solution has proven to be very stable."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"The location and remote management services are the most valuable."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
"You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
"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 most valuable feature is the security policies."
"We have experienced some connectivity issues."
"It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"VMware Workspace ONE can improve in virtual reality. Customers are now looking toward virtual reality devices. Though it supports virtual reality, it's treated as an Android device. Customers want to deal with VR devices, they want a specific VR tool. Not an Android device VR tool."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
