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."We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"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."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"The most valuable features are remote control and geo-fencing."
"The other feature, that I have got to say is just leaps and bounds ahead of SOTI's competition, is the remote control feature. It's a true admin remote-control, so we don't have to have somebody on the other side of the device allowing us access to the device... We're able to pull up a tablet or phone and take pictures of it and we can actually videotape what's going on, on the device itself, and that's been huge."
"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 other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"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."
"The most valuable features of SOTI MobiControl include location tracking, geofencing, remote device control, and SOTI self-service mobile browsers."
"The admin part, where I'm adding users, is not too bad. It's easy enough to use."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."
"The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"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."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"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."
"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."
"Reporting could be better. When I try to run a report, it doesn't have a filter or even a feature where I can choose what I have in the report. That's been a struggle since the first time I used it so I just don't touch it anymore."
"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."
"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."
"Where they need improvement is not as much on the technical side but, rather, on their communication. In general, that has been poor. Account management and communication could be greatly improved..."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
