We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Endpoint Central 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.
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"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."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"Since deploying Desktop Central our endpoints are all updated. We use configuration management to deploy shortcuts to our users' desktops with ease. Also, we use configuration management to map logical hard drives to our users. Our users are very happy with how much ease IT can solve their problems."
"Page management and ADA integrations are the most valuable features of ManageEngine Endpoint Central."
"The dashboard has been very useful."
"The centralized control of all of our Windows hardware that this solution offers has been most valuable to our organization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Patch Management."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central's most valuable features are remote desktop control and image management. We can send things out from the desk here, it is a very good tool for us."
"Everything is easily centralized and managed under this one product."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"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..."
"The remote control technology and screen-sharing absolutely help us resolve issues faster. If there is a remote user who has difficulties or does not understand an error or a problem or a crash, the support team can remote control the phone and see right away what is on the screen and act on the problem. We can debug, we can help, we can reboot the phone."
"The most valuable feature is the remote support because there are plants here where IT staff is not present. We can use it to provide support remotely."
"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."
"The ease of access was awesome. The guys helping us out were pretty fluent in the product. I currently have two devices in a dashboard that we're testing, but the solution that they have is awesome. I like that it's a cloud-based based solution, and I think there will be some significant cost savings."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"The performance sometimes lags a bit because the solution is demanding on system resources."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central is very limited. When you scan your system, it will only recognize Microsoft Windows Defender and BitLocker."
"Compared to the solution we use to manage our Mac products, this solution lacks the ability to create dynamic groups. We would like the ability, for example, for machines which have been upgraded to form part of a grouping based on this upgrade."
"Improvement should be done as per customer requirements."
"The team I've currently got is not using it particularly well, due to the fact that they don't know how to use it particularly well. They've not done any training and so on."
"Tech support is mediocre at best."
"Documentation could improve so we don't need to create the support requests first."
"There are occasional glitches."
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"If the interface was a little bit more intuitive, more easily allowed me to get to where I want to be, that would be a little bit nicer, as far as the file sync goes."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"The remote screen of the solution gets stuck at times. So, that needs to be improved."
"Most of our devices are Android, they're Google related, so we need access from Google to do certain things. There are ways around that, but that's something that we're really looking for. How can we control the Apple Air? How can we get into that app?... How can we make sure that that app doesn't try to update in the middle of the day when our driver needs it?"
"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
"The product’s features for managing Windows devices need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
