We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and SOTI MobiControl based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: SOTI MobiControl is the winner in this comparison. It is easy to deploy, high performing, fairly priced, and has excellent customer support.
"It works pretty well for us."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"The admin part, where I'm adding users, is not too bad. It's easy enough to use."
"The keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"The most valuable features of SOTI MobiControl include location tracking, geofencing, remote device control, and SOTI self-service mobile browsers."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to deploy apps on the fly. We're able to update and deploy new applications, directly from the cloud. That's been a huge feature for us. Instead of putting hands on each of these devices - and we're talking thousands of devices - we can manage it all from the backend."
"SOTI MobiControl is the right solution for customers who want a reliable and low-cost MDM solution."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"The most valuable features of the solution are containerization and app control."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"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."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Where they need improvement is not as much on the technical side but, rather, on their communication. In general, that has been poor. Account management and communication could be greatly improved..."
"Improving the reporting section would be beneficial for enhancing the product's overall functionality."
"SOTI MobiControl's user interface is very tough to handle and should be made more user-friendly."
"We're deploying an application upgrade. We can't do more than three or four devices at once, and we don't know if the device actually received the upgrade. There's no indicator saying it's 100 percent complete until everything is done. Let's say I work East to West. I work on the East Coast and I want to confirm it was done with the upgrades in that region. I wouldn't know until I actually went into it. There's no indicator telling me that it's complete."
"Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement."
"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
"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."
"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."
