We performed a comparison between 42Gears SureMDM and SOTI MobiControl based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"The tool's most valuable feature is a remote connection to the devices. You can also push and lock applications. It helps us lock devices for professional use to control which applications can be installed."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"It helps in enrolling, managing, and relocating the devices quickly."
"The licensing is simple."
"I have experience with technical support. They are quite good. Also, they very quickly understand the issues and what are the requirements from my side. Response time is also good."
"It gives us the ability to manage our mobile fleets and push out updates quickly for all of our internal applications to keep the business running. We can push an app update out in minutes..."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to deploy apps on the fly. We're able to update and deploy new applications, directly from the cloud. That's been a huge feature for us. Instead of putting hands on each of these devices - and we're talking thousands of devices - we can manage it all from the backend."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of moving items from one configuration to another; it's a Windows-like setup. Also, the admin console is very easy to manage and to move through."
"We use the Lockdown Kiosk Mode feature on all of our devices. We use that so that the operators can't change any settings in the background, and so that the applications they run are immediately available to them. It's a good feature."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"As a partner, we consider 42Gears to be a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution. So, we should be able to manage users with this particular solution. This is something that is currently not there. It is probably an area for improvement for 42Gears."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"I wish I had the ability to select an app singly and install or refresh it, instead of having to go into the application controls and assign it to a group. I wish there was a spot that listed all my applications. I could go into a single one and refresh or update. It's not very easily accessible, per application."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
"Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement."
"You need to get used to the admin console. I think it could be improved. It's not the best I've seen. Certainly, the software has a lot of features so you necessarily have some complexity in the interface, but I've seen better. They could make it easier in certain aspects."
"Improving the reporting section would be beneficial for enhancing the product's overall functionality."
"They could make it easier to configure. While setting it up from scratch, I find many networking issues, and I have to call our network people for them, but our network people don't understand. It's a nightmare to try to communicate to them that this port needs to be open, or this needs to be opened here or there. Networking people are very security conscious, and they're wary of doing anything. So, if you can't tell them exactly why they need to do something, they get really paranoid. SOTI could do a better job of making the configuration of their software easier to understand and more clear. The prerequisites should be clear. They should clearly specify what is required to get this software working. There should be a list of prerequisites that is easier to understand and trust."
