Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"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."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"It was an improvement when we got the Tasks and the Notes as well as Connect for Skype For Business."
"Whenever we have issues, people rely on the ability to check messages promptly."
"The technical support for the solution is excellent."
"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."
"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."
"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."
"The licensing is simple."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."
"The most valuable feature is the remote support because there are plants here where IT staff is not present. We can use it to provide support remotely."
"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 is very reliable, and their support is excellent."
"The remote control we have helps us a lot."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"The Lockdown Kiosk Mode is very useful... When you have 9,000 people remotely using your applications, you want to make sure that they don't play with Facebook while they're supposed to be working... It also prevents installation of software that could be harmful or compromise the security of the phone."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"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"
"The newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."
"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."
"The interface could be improved."
"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."
"The entry level support needs improvement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that we do not have premium support. Therefore, we have to go through Level 1 support for any issues."
"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."
"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."
"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."
"Reporting could be better. When I try to run a report, it doesn't have a filter or even a feature where I can choose what I have in the report. That's been a struggle since the first time I used it so I just don't touch it anymore."
"If the interface was a little bit more intuitive, more easily allowed me to get to where I want to be, that would be a little bit nicer, as far as the file sync goes."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration and more features around the iOS and macOS platforms."
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"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."
