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 can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"The ability to run event viewer, task manager, services, command, file browser, certificate all remotely without interrupting users is the most valuable aspect. Software deployment and prohibiting, allowing us to standardize on the software that has been deployed through the environment and then prohibiting illegal software such as torrent applications has been valuable."
"The stability is great."
"The mobile functionality is very easy."
"It's a complete product that allows you to remote troubleshoot, has an inventory of systems."
"Very good, functional solution for endpoint management."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine Endpoint Central is the central management console. Additionally, inventory tracking is helpful for knowing where our assets are."
"Honestly, I have to say all features together have become the Swiss army knife of desktop management. They all work hand in hand. Software deployment saves an unbelievable amount of time installing an application on hundreds of computers."
"In terms of technical capability, it is doing very well. It is doing better than other industry products. It is at a place where we can compare it with Microsoft products. Its scalability is also good."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are containerization and app control."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"The company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."
"The most valuable features are remote control, remote monitoring of the mobile phone data, GPS localization, automobile network management, identity management, speaker logging, and remote management of mobile content."
"The licensing is simple."
"It helps in enrolling, managing, and relocating the devices quickly."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"Computer imaging is powerful but breaks frequently. The reason for this breaking is not clear and requires heavy amounts of attention to keep operational. There is a lot of room for this tool to do more but the reliability of this process should be focused on first to ensure core competencies are being fixed before more features are added."
"The solution isn't fully stable, and, when it goes down, it's hard to get it up and running."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central is very limited. When you scan your system, it will only recognize Microsoft Windows Defender and BitLocker."
"The team should work on improving the stability, particularly with massive patches deployment, clients are not 100% getting patches and the information provided by the system does not help; more detailed report would be very useful."
"The solution is expensive."
"I would like to see them come out with a SaaS version of the product in the future."
"Documentation could improve so we don't need to create the support requests first."
"I really feel like asset explorer should be a component of desktop central. That would make it the ultimate desktop management tool. This would also simplify the asset management role since an agent is already being deployed and assets could be added at the same time."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
"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."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"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 main feature that we would like to have with Soti is the ability to push an iOS update without having people come to my office. That is the main reason why we went with Soti. And that feature is not working on my version."
"I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
