Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The stability is good."
"The design of the GUI, as compared to other solutions, really makes a difference."
"Having the ability to automate our workflows has been great."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"Jamf Pro allowed us to patch and manage endpoints while collecting log data to help improve operational efficiency."
"It offers professionals an endless amount of possibilities to keep users and the company happy."
"Patch management and associated policies help us manage and update our fleet's software."
"It's as easy as procuring the licensing for the apps and then setting it to the volume purchasing back in Jamf."
"The most valuable features are the restrictions, Lost Mode, Self Service, and full implementation of anything Apple will let MDM manage."
"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"
"It helps in enrolling, managing, and relocating the devices quickly."
"The admin part, where I'm adding users, is not too bad. It's easy enough to use."
"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."
"The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."
"The ease of access was awesome. The guys helping us out were pretty fluent in the product. I currently have two devices in a dashboard that we're testing, but the solution that they have is awesome. I like that it's a cloud-based based solution, and I think there will be some significant cost savings."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"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."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"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"
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"It would be amazing if they would give Apple TV management its own space in Jamf Pro and not just mix it in with devices."
"A more modern UI in the next release will make the product absolutely perfect."
"I think there's room for improvement on the automation. For example, uploading a package to Jamf Pro and then updating the policy and other aspects, should be automatic. For instance, if I put a new version of the software, version 11 and the previous one was 10, Jamf Pro should be able to recognize if there's an update and update the policy automatically. It's not a big deal, but I think there's room for improvement."
"The upgrade process of this solutions could be improved. It is not possible to use Jamf Pro to upgrade devices."
"I would like to see improved integration of some of the additional tools that users create within Jamf itself."
"The new remote support tool is still lacking features compared to other industry solutions."
"I would like to have the ability to push scripts using MDM commands."
"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."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
