We performed a comparison between SOTI MobiControl and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"The stability is good."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"Among the valuable features are managing configurations of all devices and being able to remote into devices... We send out configurations for each site that has its devices. Each site has a different configuration, and SOTI manages each configuration for each site"
"The keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"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."
"It is very reliable, and their support is excellent."
"It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."
"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"A very easy to use solution."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
"No issues with scalability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it enables us to remotely manage the devices, which is its purpose, and to push applications to the mobile devices from the portal."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"I wanted to check if there is any provision at the Intune level to restrict certain things, such as a website, but unfortunately, that feature is available only in Microsoft Defender. Intune has web filtering capabilities, but they are only useful for protection from malicious websites, whereas we would like to be able to restrict a website. For example, YouTube is a clean website. No one would identify it as a malicious website, but if we want to stop the end-users from going to that website, we have to go for another product, such as Microsoft Defender or another third-party proxy solution. It would be great if this capability is included in Intune."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"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."
"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."
"I have used Microsoft Intune but it is more complicated than SOTI MobiControl."
"For the most part, the application deployment works well. Occasionally, when moving a gun, we'll see that we have to manually intervene, when working with the setup."
"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."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."
"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."
