Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged
The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

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.

Regional Manager Presales & Training at QodeNext India Private Limited
Has improved mobile device management through features such as geofencing, firmware upgrades, and centralized control
One of the best features of SOTI MobiControl is that it is one of the oldest MDM solutions available. There are many features such as geofencing with map integration, APK upgrade, firmware upgrade, and it provides battery status, device status, and more. SOTI MobiControl impacts organizations positively because customers want an application MDM solution for managing their mobile devices from a central control. They have given good feedback and were happy with the solution.

"The company provides great customer service."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The security compliance capabilities make it widely adopted across organizations."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive and we are happy with the level of service on offer."
"It works pretty well for us."
"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."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"Once it is well integrated with the rest of the environment, it makes everything easy."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible. We can onboard new employees faster and more securely. We are a governmental organization with strict regulations, and Intune helps us comply with those requirements."
"Overall, the best features of Microsoft Intune are its ease of management and robust security protocols, which are what I value most about it and how it stands out."
"SOTI's most valuable feature has to be mobile device management and visibility through the main console. There's a central dashboard that you can use to monitor the devices and keep track of usage, battery consumption, and battery life."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."

"Because we have a custom, business-to-business applications, the solution's deployment features give us the ability to control the deployment of new versions. We can granularly decide which people or which phone receive updates. It's kind of like having your own "app store" and being able to control what you deploy on the phones... You can see how the deployment is happening; if it's going well or not."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
 

Cons

"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"The granular support for other device types in Microsoft Intune could be improved."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved by adding short video tutorials or direct links to Microsoft articles in the information button."
"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."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"There are areas that have room for improvement in Microsoft Intune, particularly regarding integrations."
"The price of this solution is high when you compare it with Microsoft Intune."
"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."
"One of the main pain points I have had with SOTI is support for the latest device."
"Customer service is good, but sometimes it is challenging to reach them promptly during urgent situations."
"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."
"Where they need improvement is not as much on the technical side but, rather, on their communication. In general, that has been poor."
"I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."
"The product’s features for managing Windows devices need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"The product is reasonably priced at the moment."
"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."
"Its pricing policy is not stable. The licensing is on a one-yearly, two-yearly, or three-yearly basis. There is no monthly fee."
"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 is fairly priced. It's not super expensive. If you have a thousand devices that are licensed, it's going to start climbing up in price. Typically, it's like 25 bucks a seat for a year."
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
"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."
