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.
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"It's easy to manage."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."
"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 feature I find most valuable within Soti is the ability to reset or unlock a device. A lot of the devices that we use are in the field. We have locations in Dallas, San Diego, Seattle, Washington, and Phoenix, Arizona and there isn't always someone, within our company, who is managing these devices. Sometimes it's the doctors' offices that we partner with where they use these devices. Having the ability to remotely reset a device or unlock a device has been super-crucial for me."
"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."
"The most valuable features of SOTI MobiControl include location tracking, geofencing, remote device control, and SOTI self-service mobile browsers."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is the support for multiple devices. Not only iOS, and Android, but all kinds of platforms, including VR device management. Additionally, it has a tunneling feature, which no other solution provides. Other solutions have to integrate with other tools to have this functionality, whereas VMware Workspace ONE has its own application gateway tunnel."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"SOTI MobiControl could improve by being more user-friendly."
"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..."
"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."
"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."
"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration and more features around the iOS and macOS platforms."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"We'd like more useful support."
"The mobile device repository is somewhat difficult to manage with a large user base."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"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."
"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."
"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."
