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.

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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines."

"I would say right now that Microsoft Intune is one of the best solutions."

"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."

"Since the introduction of Microsoft Intune, we have had the problem completely taken care of."

"The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time."

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

"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."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The company provides great customer service."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"We have very good technical support; when we had big issues, the support was fantastic, I have nothing to complain about, and it was important for us to have that level of security from the company."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM pros

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

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

"The Lockdown Kiosk Mode is very useful... When you have 9,000 people remotely using your applications, you want to make sure that they don't play with Facebook while they're supposed to be working... It also prevents installation of software that could be harmful or compromise the security of the phone."

"Overall, this is a pretty good product and I like that it is standalone."

"The remote control technology and screen-sharing absolutely help us resolve issues faster. If there is a remote user who has difficulties or does not understand an error or a problem or a crash, the support team can remote control the phone and see right away what is on the screen and act on the problem. We can debug, we can help, we can reboot the phone."

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

"Among the valuable features are managing configurations of all devices and being able to remote into devices... We send out configurations for each site that has its devices. Each site has a different configuration, and SOTI manages each configuration for each site"

"The admin part, where I'm adding users, is not too bad. It's easy enough to use."

More SOTI MobiControl pros

Cons

"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."

"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."

"Although Intune is from the same provider, its integration with other Microsoft products, like Microsoft Defender or Microsoft Purview, could be improved."

"From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful."

"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."

"Automations in Microsoft Intune can be more elaborated; KQL (Kusto Query Language) is available, but if multiple automation options were readily available, which would include PowerShell, KQL, JSON, and different interpreters like VS Code or Python readily available from Microsoft Intune, it would help administration and management much better."

"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones."

"Intune has no remote control function for mobile phones to solve issues remotely for users."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."

"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."

"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."

"I wish I had the ability to select an app singly and install or refresh it, instead of having to go into the application controls and assign it to a group. I wish there was a spot that listed all my applications. I could go into a single one and refresh or update. It's not very easily accessible, per application."

"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."

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

"For the most part, the application deployment works well; occasionally, when moving a gun, we have to manually intervene when working with the setup."

More SOTI MobiControl cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."

"The E5 license is expensive."

"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."

"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."

"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"It is an expensive product."

"We have annual licenses to use this solution."

"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 MobiControl is a cheap solution."

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

"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."

"SOTI's pricing seems to be competitive."

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