Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good.""The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features.""Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature.""It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network.""There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients.""Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices.""Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge.""It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."

More Matrix42 Unified Endpoint Management Pros →

"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program.""One of the most valuable features is the ability to deploy apps on the fly. We're able to update and deploy new applications, directly from the cloud. That's been a huge feature for us. Instead of putting hands on each of these devices - and we're talking thousands of devices - we can manage it all from the backend.""The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely.""The most valuable features of SOTI MobiControl include location tracking, geofencing, remote device control, and SOTI self-service mobile browsers.""I have experience with technical support. They are quite good. Also, they very quickly understand the issues and what are the requirements from my side. Response time is also good.""We use SOTI MobiControl for managing Android device management.""The initial setup is straightforward.""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."

More SOTI MobiControl Pros →

Cons
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices.""I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved.""It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc.""The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced.""The solution could improve its flexibility.""The synchronization could be improved.""China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center.""Technical support is not that great."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42.""Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."

More Matrix42 Unified Endpoint Management Cons →

"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.""Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model.""I would like them to improve the process of enrolling Android devices. It's much more difficult to enroll Android devices than it is Windows CE devices. There are a lot more steps required.""The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl.""The solution could use better reporting.""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.""I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
  • "There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
  • "Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
  • "The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
  • "I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
  • "The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
  • "For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
  • "The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
  • More Microsoft Intune Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I am not sure the price of this solution but I would imagine it is fairly expensive because of the complexity, you would not use it in a small company."
  • "Matrix42 is more affordable than Ivanti."
  • More Matrix42 Unified Endpoint Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is okay, but when you buy your renewal of licenses - at the end of the period or the year - if you have a lot of devices, obviously, it's going to increase. In the end, it's kind of expensive."
  • "I thought pricing was kind of high, but I believe that Soti is probably the best out there for this type of software, so there's not much I can do about that. The licensing is annual, per device."
  • "They've been pretty flexible with us, because we've changed the way we do our licensing a few times. We did a yearly, and then we went back and we did a quarterly, and I think we're back to yearly right now. We've been able to work stuff out and pricing has gone down since the onset. We've got a better rate per device and it's reasonable. The licensing cost from SOTI usually doesn't scare anybody, away once it's explained."
  • "The solution that we were using costs less, but it didn't offer as much as Soti. It's comparable if you look at it over the five-year term."
  • "There are solutions that can be more aggressively priced, but they may not provide all that SOTI does. It's a matrix regarding what feature you use. You need to compare the features you use and what you are willing to pay for them... SOTI's pricing is okay. It's in the middle... They can provide more aggressive pricing once you start to have a lot of licenses."
  • "The pricing is reasonable and the licensing model is very reasonable when compared to some of the competitors in the market. I can speak directly regarding Intune, which is very expensive compared to SOTI."
  • "It makes sense to have scanners on SOTI MobiControl, but it makes less sense to have printers because there are fewer features for them, while the price is the same for both."
  • "SOTI's pricing seems to be competitive."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

    Silverback offers easy, scalable and secure device management for tablets and smartphones, including Android for Work, Windows 10 Mobile, iOS, and Mac OS.

    SOTI MobiControl, our award-winning mobility management solution provides the ability to securely manage mobile devices and connected peripherals, applications, content, and email. With MobiControl's advanced security and management features, businesses have granular control of how mobile devices are used for business, and how data is accessed to ensure sensitive corporate information is kept in authorized hands only.
