Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Offers scalability and ability to create granular policies

It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior. I have been using it for five…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I can control applications, and I can secure applications by using the MAM policy, which is very effective and very helpful in protecting our users' data on mobile devices such as iPhones and Android phones."

"It saves time, money, and resources; when there was a local liaison, managing everything was a significant challenge, but with Microsoft Intune, it has become much easier—around 60% to 70% easier—and in terms of reliability and ease of use, it excels."

"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."

"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."

"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."

"It is very stable and scalable because this is a cloud-only solution."

"It meets the basic security needs and management needs for most organizations."

"Within Intune, managing policies and having a consistent way to manage devices is valuable."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."

"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."

"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."

"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."

"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."

"Ivanti Avalanche has reduced the time needed to perform updates on all the devices across our clients' organizations; it's a great time-saver for the client."

"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features; there are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package, but by using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click."

"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."

"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."

"In my opinion, what makes SOTI better than the others is their support."

"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."

"SOTI MobiControl has greatly benefited the Information Services department of our organisation, as well as the users of the device."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI, and SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."

"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."

"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."

More SOTI MobiControl pros

Cons

"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019."

"The reporting part needs improvement, and it would be beneficial if it could integrate with third-party tools instead of just Power BI."

"There are differences in protecting the data on a mobile device and on iOS. When you protect the data on iOS, you protect the entire device."

"Microsoft's technical support isn't very good. They're very slow in responding."

"The worst aspect is the reporting."

"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."

"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."

"The main differences between Intune and other products are, like I mentioned, in terms of the Mac. If the customers are majorly moving and adopting Mac laptops while they are using the Intune, they are leaving for other platforms, like Workspace ONE and vMOX."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The tool's stability could be better."

"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper."

"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."

"However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."

"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."

"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"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."

"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."

"They should improve the lockdown feature."

"Support for Windows Phone 8.1 Improve time to market"

"They could organize the software a little bit better, where you access things on the console. It seems like I have to click in three different places in order to get it to go to one area. I should be able to access pretty much any point of the server, whatever I need to touch, from a panel, without having to go click on a menu, then click on the profiles, then click over on Server and go back up to the top and click on the type of device that I have, just to get my applications to show."

"For improvement, maintaining pace with updates from operating systems such as Android and Windows would be sufficient."

"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?"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."

"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."

"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."

"Microsoft licenses are costly."

"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."

"Other than the standard licensing fee, there aren't any additional or hidden costs, although I believe Avalanche could be made more affordable in general."

"You will need to purchase licenses for each device."

"The license is based on assets. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Although the solution is a bit costly in my opinion, for customers who really need this solution, Ivanti Avalanche is worth it."

"The price is average. SOTI manages the price according to the type of client they have. I would rate the cost as five out of ten."

"The product is reasonably priced at the moment."

"There are solutions that can be more aggressively priced, but they may not provide all that SOTI does. It's a matrix regarding what feature you use. You need to compare the features you use and what you are willing to pay for them... SOTI's pricing is okay. It's in the middle... They can provide more aggressive pricing once you start to have a lot of licenses."

"SOTI MobiControl is a budget-friendly solution."

"They've been pretty flexible with us, because we've changed the way we do our licensing a few times. We did a yearly, and then we went back and we did a quarterly, and I think we're back to yearly right now. We've been able to work stuff out and pricing has gone down since the onset. We've got a better rate per device and it's reasonable. The licensing cost from SOTI usually doesn't scare anybody, away once it's explained."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a five."

"The pricing is reasonable and the licensing model is very reasonable when compared to some of the competitors in the market. I can speak directly regarding Intune, which is very expensive compared to SOTI."

"SOTI MobiControl is a cheap solution."
