"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 most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"Easy to use."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"The other feature, that I have got to say is just leaps and bounds ahead of SOTI's competition, is the remote control feature. It's a true admin remote-control, so we don't have to have somebody on the other side of the device allowing us access to the device... We're able to pull up a tablet or phone and take pictures of it and we can actually videotape what's going on, on the device itself, and that's been huge."
"The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."
"The licensing is simple."
"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."
"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."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"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."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"They could organize the software a little bit better, where you access things on the console. It seems like I have to click in three different places in order to get it to go to one area. I should be able to access pretty much any point of the server, whatever I need to touch, from a panel, without having to go click on a menu, then click on the profiles, then click over on Server and go back up to the top and click on the type of device that I have, just to get my applications to show."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"SOTI MobiControl currently lacks some DLP features."
"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."
"The product’s features for managing Windows devices need improvement."
"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."
"I wish I had the ability to select an app singly and install or refresh it, instead of having to go into the application controls and assign it to a group. I wish there was a spot that listed all my applications. I could go into a single one and refresh or update. It's not very easily accessible, per application."
"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."
