We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and SOTI MobiControl 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."We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"My team use this solution to provide end-to-end support on our managed Mac fleet. This includes doing OS updates and upgrades, application deployments, configuration settings and outlining."
"The zero-day support regarding new Apple hardware and Apple operating systems is very good."
"Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have."
"Smart groups and just the way MDM works are valuable. We like all the features that they have. We try to use it as much as possible, and then we have the support and community involvement to reach out to."
"As an administrator, I really love the integration with Apple Business Manager."
"There is support for Apple updates from day one. Jamf works closely with Apple, so they are ready to support new updates whenever Apple pushes them."
"We can set custom deployments based on every available parameter in macOS."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"SOTI MobiControl is the right solution for customers who want a reliable and low-cost MDM solution."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 most valuable features are remote control and geo-fencing."
"It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"In some places, GUI could be more reactive."
"It would be nice if Jamf added an onboarding tool integrated into Jamf Connect during the automated DEP enrollment workflow. It would also improve the user experience if Jamf integrated native macOS notifications, with the option to interact within the notification center."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"The response time for support could be significantly improved."
"The reporting needs to be improved so that generating them is more user-friendly."
"Jamf could improve versioning as in outright blocking OS upgrades OR improving maintaining every application’s update feature. As of now, only some apps, like Flash, have managed updates."
"It would be nice to be able to search smart groups and/or filter them."
"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?"
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
"I have used Microsoft Intune but it is more complicated than 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."
"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."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
