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 has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"...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."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"All features are useful. It is useful for preventing the use of unauthorized software on corporate-owned devices. It provides an option to lock the devices for unauthorized software. The devices can only be used under the supervision of the device manager."
"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."
"It's been very stable over the past few years."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"The location and remote management services are the most valuable."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"We've found the solution to be easy 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."
"You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"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."
"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."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"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."
"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."
"I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."
"This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"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."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"The technical support could be improved."
