Omnissa Identity Services Reviews & Insights

Workspace ONE Access solves a wide range of business issues, although it is mostly utilized in our organization for two-factor authentication. Workspace ONE Access was utilized by our company to implement two-factor authentication or to limit access to particular resources. By leveraging Workspace ONE Access to monitor user activity or enforce corporate standards, we also used it to increase compliance. It was also utilized to give Single Sign-On (SSO) or to develop unique workflows in order to increase productivity.

Workspace ONE Access is a good fit for a variety of corporate scenarios, such as the need for businesses to provide secure access to their data and applications, the need to lower the costs associated with managing multiple user identities, and the need to boost employee productivity by streamlining access to corporate resources. It is less appropriate if you are not using all of its function and just use it for a particular function undermining its capabilities for example in our organization the use case is primarily restricted to giving staff members safe access to company information and applications which debunks its other features such as compliance and product support that it provides.

We use VMWare Identity manager (Workspace One) to provide remote access to university applications and data. We replaced several older systems with this product and consolidated several access methods (that used to vary depending on who you were and what you were doing) into one single place to go for access. We replaced a Citrix farm form application delivery, and various VPN/Remote Desktop and WebDAV based solutions for remote access to data.

VMWare Identity Manager is a fantastic solution if you're looking for a "single point of access" type experience for delivering applications and data to your users. There are some features it lacks compared to some competitors, particularly when it comes to integration with other products and customization of look/feel, but we have been very successful using it to provide an easier user experience than our old systems were able to deliver.
