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."It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"It gives us the ability to manage our mobile fleets and push out updates quickly for all of our internal applications to keep the business running. We can push an app update out in minutes..."
"It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"The keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"SOTI's most valuable feature has to be mobile device management and visibility through the main console. There's a central dashboard that you can use to monitor the devices and keep track of usage, battery consumption, and battery life."
"The remote control technology and screen-sharing absolutely help us resolve issues faster. If there is a remote user who has difficulties or does not understand an error or a problem or a crash, the support team can remote control the phone and see right away what is on the screen and act on the problem. We can debug, we can help, we can reboot the phone."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"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."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"The technical support could be improved."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"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."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The previous version, for example, had the networking signal and that feature was great. When we were troubleshooting, we could find the level of the network I/O. If the worker was working in a corner of the warehouse where the signal was not as strong as in another part of the warehouse, we could tell, "Just move a little and you will have coverage for your device." That was great. I don't know why they removed it from the newer version."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"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."
"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."
"SOTI MobiControl could improve by being more user-friendly."
