Getting Started with Workspace ONE Experience Management

Overview

Introduction

Digital Employee Experience, or DEX, is the sum of all an employee’s interactions with technology and tools they use at work. These interactions directly impact employee sentiment and are critical to productivity and engagement in the workplace. And especially as many organizations have shifted to hybrid work, there have been challenges in delivering an optimal experience that result in business disruptions.

In order to ensure high-quality experiences that empower employees to do their best work, a comprehensive DEX solution is required that enables organizations to deliver engaging experiences across the employee lifecycle, measure the experiences employees have with the technology they use, maintain consistent visibility across the deployment to analyze issues that impact experience and productivity and remediate issues that cause disruptions.

Figure 1: Components of a comprehensive Digital Employee Experience (DEX) solution

The Omnissa DEX solution provides the necessary tools to deliver an optimized employee experience to the end user including any app on any device, self-service resources, and any support required.  This end-user experience is delivered by combining Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub, Hub Services, UEM, Horizon, and Omnissa Access.

Experience Management, which is built on top of the Omnissa Intelligence analytics platform, enables IT to monitor device performance, connectivity, app performance, and tools to gather user sentiment and combine this data to measure the success of the employee experience delivery. Telemetry collected from the deployment is automatically analyzed in order to surface anomalies and maintain a quality employee experience, powered by data science.

The DEX solution also enables IT to provide many methods to remediate issues, whether automated remediation using Experience Management within Omnissa Intelligence, real-time remote support using Workspace ONE Assist, or employee self-service tools within Intelligent Hub. The help desk can also utilize Experience Management tools within Intelligence to perform manual or guided root cause analysis, powered by machine learning.

Purpose of This Tutorial

This document provides a technical overview of the Experience Management solution within Omnissa Intelligence and covers example use cases. For more information on the Workspace ONE Digital Employee Experience Solution, see the DEX Solution page on Tech Zone.

Audience

This guide is intended for IT administrators and product evaluators who are familiar with Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management (UEM), Omnissa Intelligence, and Horizon. Familiarity with Windows and macOS operating systems, mobile applications, identity management, and directory services is assumed. Knowledge of other technologies, such as Omnissa Access, is also helpful.

Experience Management Basics

First, what is Intelligence?

Omnissa Intelligence is the data platform that aggregates telemetry from your entire Workspace ONE and Horizon deployments and correlates that data to surface insights, make recommendations, and provide visibility across your deployment.

Figure 3: Data sources that feed Omnissa Intelligence and example actions

Telemetry from your UEM, Horizon, and Omnissa Access deployments and other external sources is fed into the Intelligence data lake, then analysis and automation can take place. So think of Omnissa Intelligence as a data platform, and solutions are built on top to achieve business outcomes, such as proactive support and maintenance made possible by alerting, root cause analysis, automated remediation and security, and user experience scoring and analytics.

Check out these resources on Tech Zone to learn more about Omnissa Intelligence:

Experience Management Overview

Experience Management empowers administrators to track cross-platform key performance indicators, or KPIs, that impact employee experience – such as tracking OS crashes, application load times, battery performance issues, and many more – and use this data to generate an employee experience score. Then this quantitative data can be correlated with user sentiment data made possible by surveys built into Workspace ONE to provide a comprehensive picture of employee experience.

IT can also use Experience Management to perform guided or manual root cause analysis (RCA) and automate remediation workflows to prevent issues in the future. Experience Management accelerates RCA since the data is already collected. Often there is no need to bother the end user and collect logs manually. 

In addition, Experience Management surfaces anomalies, called Insights, using machine learning to help proactively prioritize the most impactful incidents without waiting for employees to submit tickets or collecting and correlating numerous support tickets to find common issues. Then, the powerful Freestyle Orchestrator no-code/low-code drag-and-drop UI can be leveraged to develop workflows to automatically fix common issues, proactively notify specific groups of users, and integrate with third-party IT tools.

Experience Management provides a continuous improvement feedback cycle to increase employee productivity by leveraging an end-to-end platform required to deliver an exceptional employee experience and enable proactive IT.

How does it work?

Clients on devices and the Intelligence SDK built into Workspace ONE Productivity Apps and internally developed mobile apps provide telemetry to monitor app and device performance. In addition, employee sentiment can be collected via surveys created in Omnissa Intelligence and delivered to users via Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub. This data is fed into pre-built and custom reports and dashboards for admin analysis. Machine learning is utilized to learn expected upper and lower thresholds of device and app data over time and surface anomalies. Guided root cause analysis provides recommendations for actions and the Freestyle Orchestrator automation engine enables workflows for common resolutions.

Prerequisites

To collect Experience telemetry from an endpoint, Windows devices must be either fully enrolled in Workspace ONE UEM or in Hub Registered mode. Workspace ONE UEM 2010 or later is required, although, the latest is preferred. macOS devices require full UEM management since Hub Registered mode is not an option. All endpoints must be identified as corporate-dedicated or corporate-shared in UEM to collect telemetry as Experience Management does not collect telemetry from employee-owned devices.

Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub is required on all devices to collect experience telemetry. For Windows devices, Hub 20.10 or later is required (latest preferred). The Experience Management agent is built into the Windows Intelligent Hub.

For macOS, Intelligent Hub 21.07 or later is required (latest preferred). However, the Workspace ONE Digital Experience app is also required on macOS to collect experience telemetry. The Experience Management agent is not built into Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub for macOS.

To collect telemetry from mobile applications, the app must contain the Omnissa Intelligence SDK. Workspace ONE Productivity Apps, such as Boxer and Android Launcher, include the Intelligence SDK by default. However, internal app developers can leverage the Intelligence SDK to collect experience telemetry from iOS and Android apps.

Finally, the Omnissa Intelligence tenant must be licensed for Experience Management before the option to set up is visible in the console. Contact your Sales representative to understand your current licensing.

Note that in the console and product documentation, you may see the Experience Management client on devices referred to as the “DEEM” agent, which stands for Digital Employee Experience Management.

Telemetry Overview

Once Experience Management is enabled in the Omnissa Intelligence console, agents on devices begin to collect additional telemetry from devices and apps and transmit the data to Intelligence. See the Experience Management Data Definitions documentation for more details.

Depending on the type, telemetry from devices and apps could be sent immediately to Omnissa Intelligence or batched and sent in fixed intervals. For example, resource consumption and device performance telemetry is sent every five minutes, and network statistics are sent every ten minutes. On the other hand, the following data is sent immediately: app crash, app hang, app foreground, device OS crash, device boot, device shutdown, and patch install.

How to enable within Omnissa Intelligence

Insights

Experience Management also utilizes machine learning algorithms to surface any anomalies in the deployment and presents these alerts as Insights in the console. The system learns the expected, or baseline, upper and lower thresholds for a metric, such as OS crashes, app crashes or CPU utilization, and monitors changes over time so the admin does not have to constantly watch dashboards.

To learn more about Insights and see a complete list of data points monitored, review the Experience Management documentation.

Investigations

After validating whether an Insight is significant enough to investigate, the admin can create an Investigation to:

  • Select and view playbooks to resolve the issue
  • track resolution progress
  • collaborate with colleagues
  • perform root cause analysis (RCA)
  • gather contextual information and create custom dashboards related to the incident
  • build workflows to automatically deliver the fix to the device when similar issues occur in the future

Guided RCA

Machine learning is also leveraged to analyze data around the time of an incident to identify potential root causes without the admin performing lengthy manual root cause analysis (RCA).

Within an Investigation, select the RCA tab. Choose the metric to analyze and the date range around when the incident occurred (up to 7 days) then click the RUN ANALYSIS button. Data analysis can take several minutes to process. Note that the selected date range must include at least 100 app crashes, OS crashes, or slow boot events for the tool to provide results.

Hub Notification Analytics

Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub is an application that delivers a consumer-simple, enterprise-secure digital workspace to employees, on any device in any location. One of the key capabilities of the Intelligent Hub app is a notification framework used to deliver customized corporate communications and surveys. Experience Management within Omnissa Intelligence includes a dashboard to track Hub Notification analytics.

Surveys

When measuring Digital Employee Experience (DEX) a key input is employee sentiment, which is typically measured using surveys. For example, surveys can be used to gain feedback on a new device type, new web or mobile application, or after an operating system upgrade or security patch. Employee sentiment can then be combined with metrics from devices and apps to create an overall picture of an organization’s DEX health.

Experience Management includes the ability to create custom surveys and deliver them to employees via the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub app on desktop and mobile devices or through a web browser. Then survey responses and analytics can be viewed within Experience Management. In addition, automated workflows can be built based on survey responses, such as automatically creating a helpdesk ticket if an employee reports device issues via a survey. Or on the other hand, automatically send a survey to an employee that experiences an app or OS crash to see if they need help. These workflows are critical for proactively supporting end users.

Review the survey product documentation to learn more.

Workflows

Freestyle Orchestrator is the low-code/no-code, drag-and-drop workflow platform built within Omnissa Intelligence. Telemetry collected from devices and apps and employee survey responses can be used to trigger automated workflows and even integrate with third-party business applications, such as IT Service Management (ITSM) or procurement systems. See the Freestyle Orchestrator product documentation to learn more.

When working within an Experience Management Investigation, and the root cause of the issue is discovered, workflows can be used to deliver the fix to devices and automate the fix for the future. Select the Workflows tab in an Incident to add a new workflow.

A screenshot of a computer

Description automatically generated

Figure 23: The Workflows tab of an Experience Management Investigation

Workflows can also be built to send automated alerts when metrics reach a certain threshold, such as app crashes or high memory utilization on devices. This is another strategy for providing proactive support to employees.

Templates

Even though the Workspace ONE platform provides the ability to create custom dashboards, reports, scripts, workflows, and sensors from scratch, sometimes you need to just get up and running quickly with a common use case. This is why a library of templates is provided within the Intelligence Marketplace to help get you from raw data to value quickly, without taking the time to build these components from scratch.

To access the templates, select the Marketplace tab at the top of the Intelligence console, then expand the Templates menu in the left navigation. Then filter the templates by use case, platform, or other filters at the top of the list.

A screenshot of a computer

Description automatically generated

Figure 27: Where to find and filter templates in Omnissa Intelligence

Then click the name of the template to view details and add to your personal Intelligence workspace.

For example, there are many dashboard templates for Experience Management use cases, such as performance monitoring by platform and available RAM/storage. In addition, many Frontline dashboard templates are provided, such as shared (check-in/check-out) device metrics, Zebra device battery health, and tracking potentially lost devices - and more templates are added to the library over time.

In addition to dashboards, templates are available for widgets, reports, automated workflows, scripts and sensors. For example, there are many PowerShell and Bash scripts available for common tasks that can be added to an automated workflow in the Freestyle workflow editor.

Synthetic URL Monitoring

Another critical method to provide proactive support for employees is knowing if a service is unavailable before service desk tickets are created, and even notifying teams proactively to reduce inbound tickets. Experience Management includes a tool to monitor URLs or web applications (hosted internally or externally) to identify network performance and availability. But instead of a server monitoring a URL, the Synthetic URL Monitoring provides data from the perspective of the users. In other words, Intelligence is collecting application uptime data from end-user devices. Then use automated workflows to notify groups of users or automatically create service desk tickets based on the test results.

Now that we have enabled Experience Management within Omnissa Intelligence, how can we extract value from this technology and truly impact the business and IT operations?  The following are a few real-life customer examples.

Achieving value in 1 week

We can see how simple it is to derive value from Experience Management in as little as one week:

A bank set up a trial of Experience Management for 111 Windows devices that were just enrolled using Registered Mode within UEM, versus full management. Within an hour, the IT team was able to quickly see that about 65% of devices have a poor Experience Score, and the main contributor to the poor score is memory health (utilizing 85% or more of memory capacity).

A screenshot of a computer

Description automatically generated

Figure 30: Customer’s Experience Score dashboards within Omnissa Intelligence after configuring Experience Management

The customer’s service desk team confirmed that most of the users have devices with 8GB memory and agreed the machine specifications clearly are not enough to run applications required for the business. However, the team now has data to back up this claim.  In the next device refresh, they will invest in devices with 16GB memory. 

The team also drilled down into devices that already had 16GB memory and was able to show that a device with 16GB memory only had 55% memory utilization at worst. 

This is another proof point that if they invested in devices with increased memory, the experience issue related to poor memory health problem could be resolved.

This customer has now set up an alert when Omnissa Intelligence detects a device with high memory utilization. This will enable the service desk to become more proactive and provide assistance before the end user creates a helpdesk ticket, and also provide visibility into users that are silently suffering.

Next, the team wanted to understand if a particular application is dominating most of the memory on employee devices. In order to look at the impact of the applications on memory utilization, the team created a dashboard to show average memory usage per app. Microsoft Teams was the application using the most memory, followed by Chrome and McAfee. They were all under 20MB each. This shows that there isn’t just one application to blame for the high memory utilization. The conclusion is that the memory issue is a system specification issue, rather than an application issue.

A screenshot of a graph

Description automatically generated with low confidenceFigure 32: Omnissa Intelligence dashboard showing average memory usage per application on Windows devices

Then the customer viewed the desktop app Experience Score dashboard. The application with the poorest experience, based on app crash rate and with the greatest user impact was the Java Platform SE binary used by Java-based apps and websites. Drilling into the application the team saw there were multiple versions of this library deployed, and the issue was only seen with an old library version (6.0.260.3). The customer was surprised to see this library still deployed in their environment. The newer version of the library is not seeing these application crashes. The customer will check with their apps team to confirm no business apps require this version of the library and upgrade impacted devices.

The customer was also able to view which devices are still using Internet Explorer across their deployment, which is no longer supported and poses a security risk. The customer was surprised to see the extent of Internet Explorer use given it is out of support now, and therefore will inform the internal application team.

Figure 35: Leverage Omnissa Intelligence to analyze app usage, find end-of-life apps or unsupported versions

Within hours of enabling Experience Management within Omnissa Intelligence, this financial customer was able to gain critical visibility across the device deployment and identify causes of poor user experience. Now the team had the data required to justify hardware investments and operational changes. In addition, this customer set up automated alerts to proactively support end users, such as high memory utilization and OS crashes.

Value within 90 days

Another customer, this time in aircraft manufacturing, had a deployment of 125,000 Windows devices. This customer was experiencing about 1,400 “Memory Management 1a” errors (the error logged for BSOD/OS crash) per week. The IT team had a hunch that McAfee was the culprit, but couldn’t prove it. The Security Team thought the cause was related to the OS version. This was a classic finger-pointing case, where MTTI (mean time to innocence) is critical.

Experience Management provided data to prove the 1a errors were happening regardless of device OS version. This data guided the customer to focus on correlating OS crashes with the McAfee version on devices using custom dashboards within Omnissa Intelligence.

The team deployed an update for McAfee using Workspace ONE UEM. Then with Experience Management, the team tracked 1a errors after the app update was applied and the occurrences decreased from 1,400 crashes per week to 157 (almost 89% reduction).
