We performed a comparison between SOTI MobiControl and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The solution is stable."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."
"We use SOTI MobiControl for managing Android device management."
"The most valuable features are remote control, remote monitoring of the mobile phone data, GPS localization, automobile network management, identity management, speaker logging, and remote management of mobile content."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"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 best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"It is very reliable, and their support is excellent."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
"The feature with the highest rating for me is its employee management. I can also praise how versatile it is in terms of operating systems. It has good support for multiple operating systems and can easily manage them all. Not just that, but it can also support any kind of tool that can be run on all these operating systems."
"It has good stability."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"They don't have systems that are built for redundancy. You have one database that manages everything and, if that database crashes, you have a problem."
"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."
"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 the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"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."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"The application itself individuals are getting annoyed with it. They are looking to integrate with ABB applications regardless of whether it is Android or iOS based. We are wanting to shift from this application because of the integration issues we are facing."
"VMware Workspace ONE can improve in virtual reality. Customers are now looking toward virtual reality devices. Though it supports virtual reality, it's treated as an Android device. Customers want to deal with VR devices, they want a specific VR tool. Not an Android device VR tool."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"Setup is not too complex."
