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.
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"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."
"The company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."
"The keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"The most valuable features are remote control, remote monitoring of the mobile phone data, GPS localization, automobile network management, identity management, speaker logging, and remote management of mobile content."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"SOTI MobiControl is the right solution for customers who want a reliable and low-cost MDM solution."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"It was easy to use."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"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."
"I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"Most of our devices are Android, they're Google related, so we need access from Google to do certain things. There are ways around that, but that's something that we're really looking for. How can we control the Apple Air? How can we get into that app?... How can we make sure that that app doesn't try to update in the middle of the day when our driver needs it?"
"The product’s features for managing Windows devices need improvement."
"Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement."
"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."
"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."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"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."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"Integration with Microsoft needs improvement. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization."
"Setup is not too complex."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
