"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"It's easy to manage."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"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 product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."
"The admin part, where I'm adding users, is not too bad. It's easy enough to use."
"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 installation is very straightforward."
"The remote control technology and screen-sharing absolutely help us resolve issues faster. If there is a remote user who has difficulties or does not understand an error or a problem or a crash, the support team can remote control the phone and see right away what is on the screen and act on the problem. We can debug, we can help, we can reboot the phone."
"The licensing is simple."
"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."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"The security features should be improved."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
"SOTI MobiControl could improve by being more user-friendly."
"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
"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."
"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."
"I have used Microsoft Intune but it is more complicated than SOTI MobiControl."
"If the interface was a little bit more intuitive, more easily allowed me to get to where I want to be, that would be a little bit nicer, as far as the file sync goes."
