We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and SOTI MobiControl 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."The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"The stability is good."
"It works pretty well for us."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"It's as easy as procuring the licensing for the apps and then setting it to the volume purchasing back in Jamf."
"Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge."
"We have been able to successfully manage applications and inventory within our machines."
"Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices."
"The self-service portal enables standard users to install and update software, change settings, and open organizational URLs."
"I have been using Jamf Pro for a few years now, and I'm impressed with its functionality and ease of use."
"I like the ability to modify it to suit our environment and the fact that, since it's an Apple-dedicated service, the integration is easy."
"Jamf Pro is the only product we can use at the moment because they are ahead of their competitors in zero-touch deployment for the end-user. Jamf Pro has a self-service feature that has helped us minimize our support cases. That's a feature the customers like very much."
"It is very reliable, and their support is excellent."
"All features are useful. It is useful for preventing the use of unauthorized software on corporate-owned devices. It provides an option to lock the devices for unauthorized software. The devices can only be used under the supervision of the device manager."
"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"
"It helps in enrolling, managing, and relocating the devices quickly."
"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."
"It gives us the ability to manage our mobile fleets and push out updates quickly for all of our internal applications to keep the business running. We can push an app update out in minutes..."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"It would be nice to be able to search smart groups and/or filter them."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"I would like to have the ability to push scripts using MDM commands."
"One of the big areas in need of improvement is automated device naming for computers."
"Jamf doesn't make the Cloud file system visible so there are rare occasions where the local repository and Cloud repository get out of sync."
"Training should be more accessible and cheaper."
"There's only one thing that I would like to see improved. It's potentially being worked on right now, actually. That is the ability to provide remote support access to use those devices. I'd like it to work in a similar manner to Desktop Central or other solutions like Team Viewer."
"The patching can definitely use a little bit of improvement. They should make it a little bit more automated."
"Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement."
"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?"
"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."
"The management console could be improved to be a little bit more user-friendly. Some of the stuff is a little bit cumbersome, some of it feels like an engineering solution, but otherwise it's pretty good."
"SOTI MobiControl could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."
"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."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
