Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"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."
"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."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."
"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."
"It was an improvement when we got the Tasks and the Notes as well as Connect for Skype For Business."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"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."
"Security is the most valuable feature, because we are a financial institution. We have a large number of clients and we have to make sure all communications are secure and PCI compliant."
"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."
"We were able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"One of the most valuable features is the remote control. If there are issues in the field, we can remote into those devices and see what kind of issues they are."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"The most valuable features are remote control and geo-fencing."
"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."
"SOTI's most valuable feature has to be mobile device management and visibility through the main console. There's a central dashboard that you can use to monitor the devices and keep track of usage, battery consumption, and battery life."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of moving items from one configuration to another; it's a Windows-like setup. Also, the admin console is very easy to manage and to move through."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"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."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"They could improve their QA. There are many times where something will be released, a new client will be released, and something gets broken. Or they do a release and they don't take into consideration how some people may be using parts of it. Even though it's supported, they release something and it breaks it because they weren't aware of it. The biggest thing for me right now is, I would like to see improvement in their QA. I'm tired of getting broken software."
"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."
"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."
"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."
"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."
"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 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."
"I would like more support for Google Chromebook operating system, so I could manage it."
"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 remote screen of the solution gets stuck at times. So, that needs to be improved."
"The product’s features for managing Windows devices need improvement."
"The pricing policy of SOTI is not stable. You buy it today at one price, and the following year, it becomes something like 5% or 7% higher. From my point of view, SOTI is a little bit weak in terms of implementation on the new Windows 10 devices, and they have to work on this. It can't compete with Intune and other solutions when it comes to Windows implementation. It almost doesn't work with iOS. It works well with Android."
"SOTI MobiControl's user interface is very tough to handle and should be made more user-friendly."
"They should improve the lockdown feature."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
