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."Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"The tool's most valuable feature is a remote connection to the devices. You can also push and lock applications. It helps us lock devices for professional use to control which applications can be installed."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"All features are useful. It is useful for preventing the use of unauthorized software on corporate-owned devices. It provides an option to lock the devices for unauthorized software. The devices can only be used under the supervision of the device manager."
"The most valuable features of SOTI MobiControl include location tracking, geofencing, remote device control, and SOTI self-service mobile browsers."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We use SOTI MobiControl for managing Android device management."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."

"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"As a partner, we consider 42Gears to be a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution. So, we should be able to manage users with this particular solution. This is something that is currently not there. It is probably an area for improvement for 42Gears."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"One issue is that if someone is using an Apple device and they're on the SIM card for data, it does not push the SOTI management system through immediately. It only works when you have it on WiFi. That's something I've noticed as we're troubleshooting and deploying devices into the field."
"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 would like to see some SMS integration so people can send data directly from a mobile phone through SMS when there's no internet."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."
"They could make it easier to configure. While setting it up from scratch, I find many networking issues, and I have to call our network people for them, but our network people don't understand. It's a nightmare to try to communicate to them that this port needs to be open, or this needs to be opened here or there. Networking people are very security conscious, and they're wary of doing anything. So, if you can't tell them exactly why they need to do something, they get really paranoid. SOTI could do a better job of making the configuration of their software easier to understand and more clear. The prerequisites should be clear. They should clearly specify what is required to get this software working. There should be a list of prerequisites that is easier to understand and trust."
