Varun Mehra

Collaboration Support Engineer at a retailer with 11-50 employees

Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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

"Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten."

"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."

"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."

"Intune is flexible. If you want to move a device that was previously on-prem, we can bring it to the cloud and apply all the policies. This is helpful for even those organizations that were on-prem and not on the cloud. They can also come and use these features, which are pretty cool and would be handy to protect the data and manage the devices as well."

"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."

"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."

"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."

"The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"One of the best features of SOTI MobiControl is that it is one of the oldest MDM solutions available, with features such as geofencing with map integration, APK upgrade, firmware upgrade, and it provides battery status, device status, and more."

"We use SOTI MobiControl for managing Android device management."

"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."

"The remote control we have helps us a lot."

"The feature I find most valuable within Soti is the ability to reset or unlock a device. A lot of the devices that we use are in the field. We have locations in Dallas, San Diego, Seattle, Washington, and Phoenix, Arizona and there isn't always someone, within our company, who is managing these devices. Sometimes it's the doctors' offices that we partner with where they use these devices. Having the ability to remotely reset a device or unlock a device has been super-crucial for me."

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

"The ROI is US$4 for each US$1 invested."

"The solution helps us streamline our deployments and troubleshooting, saving a lot of time by avoiding downtime."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."

"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."

"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."

"There is room for improvement in server patch management and allowing direct uploads of EXE applications instead of needing to convert them to Intune format, which would save time."

"The only drawback or challenge is that it does not support server deployment."

"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."

"My main pain point for Microsoft Intune is the contact part. Not all Android or iOS applications have access to integration, for example, contacts."

"If we can not seem to get even half a dozen users working with the product in a way we consider stable, the scalability is in question."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

"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."

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

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"The tool's stability could be better."

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

"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."

"We can't do more than three or four devices at once, and we don't know if the device actually received the upgrade."

"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."

"It is good for radio devices ONLY. Do NOT consider SOTI for iPhones, Androids and other smartphones."

"I have used Microsoft Intune but it is more complicated than SOTI MobiControl."

"Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement."

"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 management console could be improved to be a little bit more user-friendly. Some of the stuff is a little bit cumbersome, some of it feels like an engineering solution, but otherwise it's pretty good."

"The management console could be improved to be a little bit more user-friendly."

More SOTI MobiControl cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."

"Microsoft licenses are costly."

"It is reasonable for the features it has."

"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."

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

"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

"I thought pricing was kind of high, but I believe that Soti is probably the best out there for this type of software, so there's not much I can do about that. The licensing is annual, per device."

"It makes sense to have scanners on SOTI MobiControl, but it makes less sense to have printers because there are fewer features for them, while the price is the same for both."

"SOTI's pricing seems to be competitive."

"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."

"Its pricing policy is not stable. The licensing is on a one-yearly, two-yearly, or three-yearly basis. There is no monthly fee."

"The product is reasonably priced at the moment."

"We have annual licenses to use this solution."

"You need to secure a license on a per-device basis."
