Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"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."
"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."
"We can access emails within the active sync."
"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."
"We are able to separate personal information and in the event of e breach, we are able to turn off access and/or delete this information."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle."
"The ease of access was awesome. The guys helping us out were pretty fluent in the product. I currently have two devices in a dashboard that we're testing, but the solution that they have is awesome. I like that it's a cloud-based based solution, and I think there will be some significant cost savings."
"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 most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"The admin part, where I'm adding users, is not too bad. It's easy enough to use."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."
"The pain points for us would be the activation."
"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."
"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."
"Second level support needs to have strong knowledge of the product."
"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 newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."
"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."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"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."
"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."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"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."
"SOTI MobiControl's user interface is very tough to handle and should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"SOTI MobiControl could improve by being more user-friendly."
