Collaborations engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Everything has worked better since we started using it

Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Helps save time and money for users

I used Ivanti Endpoint Manager because I had one of their other tools in my old company, which is a DSM. DSM was used for my old environment, which I was responsible for, and I was really satisfied with Ivanti. Ivanti later on decided not to sell DSM anymore and stopped supporting it. Ivanti then offered people a tool named LANDESK. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is a tool we are bringing in place in our current company, and it has a similar functionality to DSM, a reason why my company decided to go for it. We also install machines from scratch with the tool. We can also patch third-party products, and it does not even have to be Microsoft always. Actually, we get a lot of freeing up resources because we can now manage Ivanti Endpoint Manager from a central point, which was not possible earlier, and we had to run to each machine.

Sahi Ibrahim SOUMAHORO

Operation Manager at a construction company with 11-50 employees

Provides enterprise mobility and remote control mobile device management

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. This feature would be good because there are some places in Africa where the internet stability isn't that good. During the voting process, they send the result through SMS. If SOTI can add the functionality where some of the clients can send information offline, via SMS, then that would be a good improvement for some places where there isn't a lot of internet stability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."

"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."

"Stable solution at a good price."

"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."

"Intune provides a centralized management solution, although its suitability depends on specific needs and comparisons with alternatives like Jamf, Kandji, or ManageEngine."

"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."

"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."

"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10."

"The product saves time and money."

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

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

"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."

"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 we have helps us a lot."

"The most valuable features of the solution are containerization and app control."

"The company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."

"The other feature, that I have got to say is just leaps and bounds ahead of SOTI's competition, is the remote control feature. It's a true admin remote-control, so we don't have to have somebody on the other side of the device allowing us access to the device... We're able to pull up a tablet or phone and take pictures of it and we can actually videotape what's going on, on the device itself, and that's been huge."

More SOTI MobiControl pros

Cons

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."

"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."

"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"

"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."

"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."

"One drawback of Intune is that we cannot find devices based on a user's region or location."

"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."

"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."

"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."

"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."

"The solution could use better reporting."

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

"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."

"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."

"SOTI MobiControl currently lacks some DLP features."

"The pricing policy of SOTI is not stable. You buy it today at one price, and the following year, it becomes something like 5% or 7% higher. From my point of view, SOTI is a little bit weak in terms of implementation on the new Windows 10 devices, and they have to work on this. It can't compete with Intune and other solutions when it comes to Windows implementation. It almost doesn't work with iOS. It works well with Android."

"There could be a feature for user ID management."

"For the most part, the application deployment works well. Occasionally, when moving a gun, we'll see that we have to manually intervene, when working with the setup."

More SOTI MobiControl cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."

"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."

"The E5 license is expensive."

"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."

"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."

"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."

Information not available

"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

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

"We have annual licenses to use this 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."

"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's pricing seems to be competitive."

"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."
