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

"As an IT administrator, I appreciate Intune's ability to implement granular device-level policies for our organization's employees."
"Our configuration profiles used to be all over the place. For example, there's a lot of legacy stuff in Active Directory. Going through Intune has helped us enforce settings, which has improved device security and functionality. When you apply something through Intune, you know it works. You don't have to worry about a legacy setting from Active Directory that was uploaded by somebody seven years ago. With Intune, you can see that a device has a setting, and you can be confident that the device is configured how you want."
"It's really easy to access."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines."
"Intune's integration with Defender and other security solutions is valuable because it offers a view into different security vulnerabilities and enables us to secure them more effectively."
"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."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."
"The company provides great customer service."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"The most valuable features are remote control and geo-fencing."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"The keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of moving items from one configuration to another; it's a Windows-like setup. Also, the admin console is very easy to manage and to move through."
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"One of the most valuable features is the remote control. If there are issues in the field, we can remote into those devices and see what kind of issues they are."
 

Cons

"The solution's app deployment needs to be improved."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."
"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"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 release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."
"SOTI MobiControl currently lacks some DLP features."
"Where they need improvement is not as much on the technical side but, rather, on their communication. In general, that has been poor. Account management and communication could be greatly improved..."
"Companies like SOTI and Mobile Iron are working with Google to help them manage these devices and eliminate the use of bar code scanner sales and mobile device sales. That's kind of crazy."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
"Customer service is good, but sometimes it is challenging to reach them promptly during urgent situations."
"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."
"The remote screen of the solution gets stuck at times. So, that needs to be improved."
"The main feature that we would like to have with Soti is the ability to push an iOS update without having people come to my office. That is the main reason why we went with Soti. And that feature is not working on my version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"Pricing can be improved."
"It is not expensive."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"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."
"It's a little bit 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."
"SOTI MobiControl is a budget-friendly solution."
"Pricing is okay, but when you buy your renewal of licenses - at the end of the period or the year - if you have a lot of devices, obviously, it's going to increase. In the end, it's kind of expensive."
"SOTI MobiControl is a cheap solution."
"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."
