Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"It gives us the ability to have a container and the most secure possible application."
"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."
"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."
"Having access to our internet was extremely beneficial. We don't have that functionality now that we have switched to Microsoft Intune. It was definitely better with Blackberry."
"Every version upgrade has been straightforward."
"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."
"It allows me to be able to access my email when I do not necessarily have my computer with me. I can also access my calendar when I am on public transport or outside of the office."
"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."
"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."
"We use SOTI MobiControl for managing Android device management."
"The installation is very straightforward."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The interface could be improved."
"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 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 initial installation could be simplified."
"The newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."
"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?"
"The scalability is horizontal, not vertical. One machine has to have all the accounts. That's one of the issues that we have found with scalability: You always have to keep the same machine. If you want to add a second machine, you need to split the account and that removes flexibility of management."
"The management console could be improved to be a little bit more user-friendly. Some of the stuff is a little bit cumbersome, some of it feels like an engineering solution, but otherwise it's pretty good."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"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."
"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."
