VMware Workspace ONE Cloud-Based ReferenceArchitecture - User Experience and Validation
User Experience and Validation
The success of any end-user-computing solution hinges on the quality of the end user’s experience.This can be difficult to measure because user experience can, in some respects, be subjective. Youmust understand how users will interact with the environment and whether it delivers what theyneed. Feedback from users should be incorporated into the design—and on an ongoing basis—toensure that any required changes are made to keep the solution relevant.
How do users connect?
How do users interact with the interfaces, applications, and other aspects of the solution?
Does the workflow address the way users need to work?
What does the typical workflow look like for them?
Do the client-device capabilities fulfill the use case needs?
Does the environment deliver a usable and reliable experience? Consider response time,availability, ease of use, and the ability to customize to individual needs.
Devices
One of the aims of VMware Workspace ONE® is to allow access to any application from any device.Using Workspace ONE as the common access mechanism for all resources provides a familiarinterface and experience across all devices.
A user’s main working client device should match the requirements for that use case. This does notmean that a user is limited to just that device. It just means that other devices might not have all thefunctionality needed to deliver the full experience and capabilities.
Understand the use cases thoroughly.
There is no one perfect endpoint—different uses require different choices.
Users will use multiple devices—try to set expectations about differences.
Be conscious of possible third-party licensing implications.
When accessing VMware Horizon® virtual desktops and RDSH-published applications, it should benoted that not all clients are equal, and all clients do not have the same capabilities. An iPad mightbe great for mobility and certain use cases, but might not be suitable if features such as multiplemonitors and USB redirection are required.

Workspace ONE User Experience
Workspace ONE provides a consistent end-user experience, regardless of device. Workspace ONEnative mobile apps are built using responsive design techniques. The apps implement an HTML5-based user experience wrapped in native APIs for the respective OS on which is the app isdeployed. This means that the user experience is the same for every OS, but as native apps, theapps can leverage features specific to each OS.

User Authentication
Workspace ONE provides simple authentication combined with contextual authentication policiesbased on factors such as the location of the device and what type of device is being used.
In the example screenshots that follow, two authentication policies have been created. The first isone where the device is internal and where username and password suffice. The second, forexternal use, is configured to require two-factor authentication.

After users log in, they have access to a variety of entitled applications. If users have bookmarkedapplications, the bookmarked apps appear on the Bookmarks tab. The applications displayed on thetabs depend on the context and capabilities of the device. For example, mobile applications are notdisplayed if the Workspace ONE catalog is viewed from a laptop.

Web and SaaS Application Launch
Users can launch different types of applications from within their workspace. Web page links open innew tabs. When launching links to SaaS applications (for example, Workday), single sign-on is used,and the user is automatically authenticated.

Virtual Desktop and Published-Application Launch
When using VMware Horizon® Cloud Service™ on Microsoft Azure, you can synchronize virtualdesktops and published applications with the Workspace ONE catalog. This provides a consistentexperience for the user, who now has one place to go for all their applications, regardless of type.
Depending on how the environment is configured, virtual desktops and published applications can beautomatically bookmarked for a user. Alternatively, users can search the catalog for resources theyhave been entitled to and optionally bookmark them if they intend to access the items frequently.

When users launch a published application, an application window opens on their desktop, just as ifthe Windows-based application were natively installed.

If entitled, users can launch a virtual desktop and single sign-on (SSO) to the desktop. In theexample screenshot that follows, the VMware Horizon® HTML Access™ browser-based client is usedrather than the VMware Horizon® Client™ native app.

User Experience on an iOS Device
On an iOS device, the Workspace ONE app can use the latest technologies from Apple, such asTouch ID, to enable one-touch authentication that uses mobile SSO features. On Windows 10, thenative app can use Windows Hello to authenticate using a camera and facial recognition.
The following sequence provides a tour of the basic user experience on an enrolled iPad Pro iOSdevice. In the following screenshot, the home screen of an enrolled iPad Pro is configured anddisplays the Workspace ONE Touch ID.
The user launches the Workspace ONE app.1.
For the example in the following screenshot, a user could either tap the icon in the top-left part of the screen or use the quick-launch menu at the bottom.
