We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) and SOTI MobiControl based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"It is a stable solution."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"We use this solution for MDM."
"Security is the main feature because the company is reliable."
"Initial setup was easy."
"It has facilitated zero-touch authorization events for our employees and their devices. Furthermore, Meraki Systems Manager plays a vital role in securing our notebooks."
"The web portal provides status reporting and ease of configuration."
"The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The installation is very straightforward."
"SOTI MobiControl is the right solution for customers who want a reliable and low-cost MDM solution."
"It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"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."
"Also, although they're Apple products, we don't use the Find My iPhone feature because that would require us to use so many fake numbers or come up with a list of numbers. SOTI has been super-helpful in helping us track where an iPad is and knowing that we can remote-access it."
"It helps in enrolling, managing, and relocating the devices quickly."
"The licensing is simple."
"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..."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"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."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"Integration with other tools, such as, ConnectWise Automate."
"The maintenance is average."
"The tool's pricing needs to be more flexible like Cisco's."
"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us."
"System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"In my opinion, the equipment availabilities and competitive pricings could be improved."
"The solution can be expensive."
"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."
"Companies like SOTI and Mobile Iron are working with Google to help them manage these devices and eliminate the use of bar code scanner sales and mobile device sales. That's kind of crazy."
"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."
"The product’s features for managing Windows devices need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
