RES ONE by RES Software (discontinued) vs. VMware Dynamic Environment Manager

It is very well suited for environments where users move/roam between systems such as VDI, hosted shared servers, or where immutable systems are in place (mandatory profiles or desired state systems).

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

• Lock down OS settings, network, and files.
• Capture profile settings and make them easily accesible and fast to load.

• 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.

The tool is integral to how business is done by end users, thus it's imperative to keep the solution around. Not to mention the business leverages the experience to assist clients with building out the solution for their needs.

Easy to deploy and transparent for the end user.

Ivanti's support department is great. They resolved incidents great and quickly.

The implementation is typcially pretty simple on a flat active directly and non-DMZ based environment. Once things become more complex it is imperative to move slowly and test frequently with UAT groups and engineers.

Totally different approach. More easy and more flexxible.

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.

Incentivized

• It increases managability which saves a lot of time, which saves money
• It increases troubleshooting possibilities which helps solve problems faster

Incentivized

• Takes less time to deploy new users
• Administring takes less time as all tools seperated
• Perfect for a Keep IT Simple Stupid VDI strategy.
