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."It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"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."
"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 other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"The licensing is simple."
"The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"It's been very stable over the past few years."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"The solution can scale."
"We find it to be reliable."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."
"No issues with scalability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it enables us to remotely manage the devices, which is its purpose, and to push applications to the mobile devices from the portal."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
"Improving the reporting section would be beneficial for enhancing the product's overall functionality."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"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 previous version, for example, had the networking signal and that feature was great. When we were troubleshooting, we could find the level of the network I/O. If the worker was working in a corner of the warehouse where the signal was not as strong as in another part of the warehouse, we could tell, "Just move a little and you will have coverage for your device." That was great. I don't know why they removed it from the newer version."
"They don't have systems that are built for redundancy. You have one database that manages everything and, if that database crashes, you have a problem."
"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."
"We'd like more useful support."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
