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."The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"The licensing is simple."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to deploy apps on the fly. We're able to update and deploy new applications, directly from the cloud. That's been a huge feature for us. Instead of putting hands on each of these devices - and we're talking thousands of devices - we can manage it all from the backend."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Workspace ONE has something like an orchestrator model that allows me to configure a set of steps to onboard new PCs, laptops, or tablets. So, it makes my work easy."
"A very easy to use solution."
"The solution's single plane of glass approach is beneficial. The endpoint management is very good and specific. One of their competitors is Intune, and you have leaks from other services within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"We've found the solution to be easy to use."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"It was easy to use."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"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."
"You need to get used to the admin console. I think it could be improved. It's not the best I've seen. Certainly, the software has a lot of features so you necessarily have some complexity in the interface, but I've seen better. They could make it easier in certain aspects."
"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 wish I had the ability to select an app singly and install or refresh it, instead of having to go into the application controls and assign it to a group. I wish there was a spot that listed all my applications. I could go into a single one and refresh or update. It's not very easily accessible, per application."
"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."
"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..."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"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 could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
