Pros

  • Improved user experience: Workspace ONE provides a seamless and integrated user experience for accessing corporate resources, which can improve the overall user experience.

  • We can easily manage and secure our mobile devices and push out updates/software/wireless access very easily. The enrollment porcess has improved a lto recently so our users can easily self service.

  • Thank goodness for this program. It's simple to use and clean looking.

  • This product has great customization for MDM and can get pretty granular. Does everything you want in terms of MDM.

Cons

  • Architect of the tool is difficult i.e. organization group vs assignment/smart group. Difficult for IT admins to setup regions, departments vide devices and link them.

  • Workspace one is rock solid. Went down the path of mobile iron which was a mistake.

  • It frezzes occasionally when update. I have experienced errors whem trying to back up to another computer.

  • I had difficulty during initial setup. The firewall had to be manually configured when I set it up.

"Reliable virtualized PC workspace"

Overall: Remote user access, application/desktop virtualization.

Pros: I usually Workspace One to log in to work remotely. It starts and performs very quickly compared to previous solutions.

Cons: I seem to get disconnected more than I should. It will automatically try to reconnect, and usually does so successfully and resumes my session, but sometimes I cannot reconnect until my previous session times out. This has happened on multiple home devices.

Switched From: Citrix DaaS
Reasons for Switching to Workspace ONE: We were constantly battling performance problems and user complaints with Citrix.

"One of the leaders in the MDM circle"

Overall: The implementation took some time but all of our end-users are extremely happy to be off the legacy MDM platform.

Pros: Coming from a legacy platform, Workspace ONE allowed us to use native email clients on our mobile devices.

Cons: We are heavily regulated and require extreme security. In order to make this as secure as possible we had to jump through a lot of hoops that seemed unnecessary.

Alternatives Considered: Ivanti Neurons for MDM
Reasons for Choosing Workspace ONE: Workspace One was included in our VMware licensing.
Reasons for Switching to Workspace ONE: XenMobile did not provide all the features that we were looking for, it did not provide us with all the control that we needed.

"Good for Mac and Windows if you go with one tool for all endpoints. "

Overall: IT implemented it and I was tasked with enforcing security controls and policies. Integrating it with our SIEM has been a huge pain so we ended up going with something else. Forcing HD encryption to all endpoints was nice.

Pros: Fairly intuitive. Easy deployment across our enterprise. Can install various applications, enforce encryption, etc.

Cons: Little bit of a learning curve, but not bad at all. REST API doesn't have Event Data, so you have to leverage the Syslog data, but it needs work. Expand the REST API and it'll fix this.

Alternatives Considered: Jamf Pro
Reasons for Choosing Workspace ONE: Mac and Windows support.

"WS1 UEM for deciem"

Overall: Its working great the way it was setup but don't have much options to upgrade the tenant if its a very bog organization. Support is good but not very quick.

Pros: Easy to manage the devices, application version control, live location of device etc.

Cons: Architect of the tool is difficult i.e. organization group vs assignment/smart group. Difficult for IT admins to setup regions, departments vide devices and link them.

Reasons for Choosing Workspace ONE: With continues growing organization the best suitable product was UEM. Now, it does take time to explore features. Integration among existing tools was supported.

"Modern, easy to use mobile device management"

Overall: It's been positive. The devices are all secure. We have reporting on uncompliant devices. I can easily disable/wipe missing phones etc. So really has done everything we wanted

Pros: This is an easy product to administer and configure. There is copious documentation on how to set it up. We can easily manage and secure our mobile devices and push out updates/software/wireless access very easily. The enrollment porcess has improved a lto recently so our users can easily self service.

Cons: It was realtively easy for me to configure to connect to our ad system and other functionality. It may be a bit daunting for a novice.

Pros: It allows to incorporate new applications and devices in less than an hour without complication, it establishes and applies data and access policies in all applications, devices and locations from the same place, in addition you can also complete business processes from a mobile device, Just as a laptop can be provisioned immediately from the company anywhere in the world from the cloud in minutes, Workspace ONE is the business platform that provides a digital work area that enables employees to safely incorporate the technology that choose, either devices or applications at the cost and pace that the company needs, also includes components of email, calendar, contacts documents, chat and business social networks of the employees' taste, as well as invisible security measures that protect the organization of possible data leaks through restrictions s when modifying or sharing attachments, allows employees to work collaboratively in real time, Workspace ONE automates the traditional tasks of incorporation and configuration of laptops and mobile devices and offers real-time application lifecycle management features that allow bridging the client-server applications inherited business and the era of the mobile cloud.

Cons: the integration with Active Directory or LDAP requires the configuration of several layers, the reporting tools are basic and may not meet the minimum requirements of some companies.

"Best Digital workspace platform"

Pros: Accessing all the company apps through workspace one. It is really good to have all the application that the company provides and use them more securely through the browser. Since the pandemic, we are using workspace for almost all services like Slack, Workday, EY and other apps through workspace one.

Cons: I have been using workspace for almost 4 years and I'm happy with all the features they provide.

"Where would we be today..."

Overall: Great experience in a horrible situation. Responsive support staff, and knowledge technicians.

Pros: Luckily we had an existing relationship with VMWare when Covid shutdowns started. This allowed us to move over 3000 employees to work from home in less than 45 days

Cons: The cost. You get what you pay for, and VMWare delivers performance and ease of use, but it still send like there should be a win/win solution somewhere.

"Suite of MDM products"

Pros: The Workspace One suite of products helps resolve many of the issues we had with only using the AirWatch product. Having the suite of products helps users when transitioning between the applications as they appear seamless.

Cons: In order for the mobile devices to sync with the Workspace server, the Hub application needs to be opened semi-regularly and users do not always realize the application is not opened and fall out of compliance.

"Best VDI product out there"

Overall: we have a full virtual desktop environment with Workspace ONe and are able to deliver desktops and application to any device, anywhere using a relatively simple infrastructure

Pros: workspace ONE has included Vmware Horizon and Vmware Airwatch together in a new product family. The Vmware VDI is hands down the best and easiest product on the market and is full with additional products and features, from the entry edition to the enterprise one where all business needs are covered. it is fairly easy to use and generally well documented. the support team is also very knowledgeable and keen to assist.

Cons: there are not really major points which I can list here

"Manage your mobile end points!"

Overall: We needed an UEM that allowed us to secure our WIndows end points. Workspace One allows us to geolocate, as well as remote wipe our Windows end points. It also supports our other devices as well which includes Mac, IOS, and Android.

Pros: Workspace one allows us to manage our endpoints with ease. Having a UEM that can manage all device types (ie Windows, Mac, IOS, Android) under one portal has simplified our support. Workspace One even allows geolocation and remote wiping of WIndows and Mac platforms.

Cons: The option for remote control of a windows endpoint is being phased out. We have another solution in place, however for that task.

"Not Worth The Money."

Overall: It was not good. I was forced to implement the App completely on my own, then when the free trial ended they wanted to charge me thousands for implementation.

Pros: The functionality was as advertised: you could track iPhones locations, lock or unlock remotely and manage what iPhone features were available to users.

Cons: The technical support was absolutely non-existent.

Reasons for Choosing Workspace ONE: I had used Airwatch before at another company and seemed to work great.

"Great for monitoring tablets "

Overall: We can work remotely on devices while in our office and the devices are out in the field. This software is great and I am very happy that we decided to use WorkSpace. Thanks!

Pros: Very user friendly! We use this software to help with security, so we are able to ping to a tablet remotely. It's great for sending updates to your devices across the United States.

Cons: I love this software. Everything is organized and well put together.

"Multi platform and it's VMware technology native"

Overall: Because it's native to VMWare, it's not a shot in the dark. You can't be wrong if you have VMWare technology. Integration is native.

Pros: Since it's integrated to AirWatch enterprise mobility management, unifies the management of every endpoint, regardless of platform or ownership model. I like the fact that supports ANdroid, iOS, macOS, Windows 10 and Chrome. Basically only Amazon is missing... Pricing is also interesting and there are multiple options. Standard, advanced and Enterprise. Also Perpetual On Premises for those who need only internal functionality. Specially useful if your infrastructure counts with Virtual Desktops.

Cons: Nothing bad to say. I like the VMware family of products. Loyal clients and excellent support. Not cheap of course but not the highest.

"It has been a pleasant experience."

Pros: We have had little interaction with the infrastructure with the exception of upgrades to the application.

Cons: Tier 1 support lacks the ability to adequately troubleshoot without escalation or WebEx session. Can do better in this part.

"MDM to a new level!"

Overall: VMware has a very competitive product for MDM and will definitely give other companies a run for their money.

Pros: This product has great customization for MDM and can get pretty granular. Does everything you want in terms of MDM

Cons: It actually has more than enough capabilities of what we want from an MDM. We just need the basic app management and security features.

"Very complete solution for all your devices"

Pros: The integration of every devices is very good , you can monitor every device as long as it's connected to a network

Cons: You need a lot of knowledge in order to use this software at it's best , it can be difficult if you are not familiar with this.
