Executive Evaluation & Why Look for an Alternative?
Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM is a unified endpoint management platform developed after VMware’s End-User Computing division became Omnissa. Licensing is per device or per user and varies by edition. It is broad for large organisations; small and mid-size teams may find setup and admin effort heavy. Moftgate offers one lightweight agent, free use for the first year for up to 200 endpoints, an on-premises option, and integrated DLP and backup.
