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."It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"The solution offers excellent documentation that is easily available online."
"A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it."
"The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"The company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."
"The most valuable features of SOTI MobiControl include location tracking, geofencing, remote device control, and SOTI self-service mobile browsers."
"We use the Lockdown Kiosk Mode feature on all of our devices. We use that so that the operators can't change any settings in the background, and so that the applications they run are immediately available to them. It's a good feature."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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"
"SOTI MobiControl is the right solution for customers who want a reliable and low-cost MDM solution."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"The licensing is quite expensive."
"Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
"The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"The MDM part of the engine could be better."
"I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."
"SOTI MobiControl could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"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."
"SOTI MobiControl's user interface is very tough to handle and should be made more user-friendly."
"One issue is that if someone is using an Apple device and they're on the SIM card for data, it does not push the SOTI management system through immediately. It only works when you have it on WiFi. That's something I've noticed as we're troubleshooting and deploying devices into the field."
