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."Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"The remote control we have helps us a lot."
"All features are useful. It is useful for preventing the use of unauthorized software on corporate-owned devices. It provides an option to lock the devices for unauthorized software. The devices can only be used under the supervision of the device manager."
"It is very reliable, and their support is excellent."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SOTI MobiControl is the right solution for customers who want a reliable and low-cost MDM solution."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"Reporting in Microsoft solutions is pathetic. With Intune, I'm getting a free inventory tool, but I don't get a reporting tool. When I go to Intune, I can see one machine's entire data in terms of the hardware and the software running on it, but I cannot generate a report for all the machines in the organization. The reporting is the only feature holding back the functionality that is already there."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"Technical support is slow."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"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."
"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?"
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"They don't have systems that are built for redundancy. You have one database that manages everything and, if that database crashes, you have a problem."
"I would like to see some SMS integration so people can send data directly from a mobile phone through SMS when there's no internet."
"One issue is that if someone is using an Apple device and they're on the SIM card for data, it does not push the SOTI management system through immediately. It only works when you have it on WiFi. That's something I've noticed as we're troubleshooting and deploying devices into the field."
"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
