Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"It was an improvement when we got the Tasks and the Notes as well as Connect for Skype For Business."
"We were able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"Every version upgrade has been straightforward."
"Whenever we have issues, people rely on the ability to check messages promptly."
"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."
"There is very high flexibility for different setups of single users, so it can give a single use many different device types with different enrollment types."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable. Having access to your emails in a secure way is one of the most important features of this solution. Blackberry ensures data security, and as a user, I can use it while on roaming or wherever I am."
"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"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 of SOTI MobiControl include location tracking, geofencing, remote device control, and SOTI self-service mobile browsers."
"The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"The initial installation could be simplified."
"The installations on the device could be simpler. It is a good solution, and all the features are there. So, there isn't a lot to improve. I'm sure they already have their thought process on how to improve it."
"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."
"The interface could be improved."
"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."
"What we don't have at the moment is RDP from the device to some kind of PC. Another feature would be access to a delegate's mailbox and I think that is to come in one of the next releases. There have been a lot of requests for that type of feature where, for example, a secretary can access the mailbox of the boss."
"As far as being able to remotely wipe a device, or remove it from the console, this is not simple to do. It is not a one-click motion, as it requires several steps."
"I know for the BlackBerry Connect, our users want to see more features, such as audio and video. I know the current version doesn't have that."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."
"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."
"SOTI MobiControl is very good for Android and Windows, but it should add a little bit on the Apple side because it doesn't have much control on the Apple side."
"I wish I had the ability to select an app singly and install or refresh it, instead of having to go into the application controls and assign it to a group. I wish there was a spot that listed all my applications. I could go into a single one and refresh or update. It's not very easily accessible, per application."
"One issue is that if someone is using an Apple device and they're on the SIM card for data, it does not push the SOTI management system through immediately. It only works when you have it on WiFi. That's something I've noticed as we're troubleshooting and deploying devices into the field."
