    AppSense does solve a lot of problems and can do some cool things. However, I think competing products may do the same job without some of the bugs and issues I have seen with AppSense. The automatic/transparent "run as Administrator" feature is very slick when set up properly and makes dealing with poorly coded legacy applications very easy. The flexibility it gives you with all of the stuff it can do is great. Take actions X, Y, and Z at logon based on these conditions, etc.

    VMWare Dynamic environment manager is best suited in a situation where you have a dedicated admin to configure all the complex settings/scenario's for the user experience. Where you have a limited ammount of user profiles and the tooling is less favorable when you want your users to have alot of personal influence on the settings

    • Takes a bit of time to get the hang of.
    • If you are setting it up yourself, there will probably be a few calls to support to get the kinks of your environment worked out
    • Works well with standard applications, but is a bit cumbersome in setting up in-house built applications.

    It is a great product and does the job well. We have been using it for 7 years now, and I can not think of a single time where it broke or had issues... it just WORKS.

    Alternatives Considered
    Ivanti
    The decision to use AppSense was not mine. If I had to choose a product today, I would at least want to evaluate the alternative from RES Software - from what I have read/heard it sounds like the better choice as far as reliability, support, and lack of bugs. I have not personally used it yet though.

    For the most part, VMware User Environment Manager is a solid virtual remedy for the remote employee. Ease of access, up-time, the ability to access programs quickly within the environment, security features such as timeouts, and other items, all prevent the logistical nightmare we see with other programs. Issues do arise, as with any other program, but the problems that do occur are normally very quickly resolved. This is really not a bad program as long as employers do their due diligence in ensuring the program stays up to date.

    Return on Investment
    Ivanti
    • By capping the CPU shares accessible by a rogue application, AppSense allowed us to continue to provide what the customers required while adjustments to the application were performed.
