Workspace ONE UEM, now sold by Omnissa after its split from VMware, is built for large and complicated fleets. It manages desktops, phones, rugged devices, servers and specialty hardware across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux and ChromeOS, and its organization groups let a global company delegate administration by business unit or region. Freestyle Orchestrator adds low-code workflows for onboarding, app deployment and remediation, and conditional access and posture checks tie device health to app access. Omnissa publishes USD prices based on 12 months prepaid: Mobile Essentials at $3.00 per device or $5.40 per user, Desktop Essentials at $4.00, UEM Essentials at $5.25 per device for both desktop and mobile, Enterprise Edition at $10.00 and Platinum at $15.63. The cost of that depth is complexity. Workspace ONE expects an experienced admin team, and a 50-person company will get the same daily results with less effort from Hexnode or Scalefusion.
