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."The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"The product provides a universal dashboard."
"Security is the main feature because the company is reliable."
"The solution is simple."
"It’s helped us manage our endpoints."
"The proprietary standards and modules are the most valuable features."
"We use this solution for MDM."
"I have found the location analytics feature that is built into the APs to be the most valuable. It allows you to compare data and to single out individuals who are repeatedly coming into your store. We can observe different trends. This is what separates it from a lot of the other solutions."
"The solution is easy to use and support."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of moving items from one configuration to another; it's a Windows-like setup. Also, the admin console is very easy to manage and to move through."
"The installation is very straightforward."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"The most valuable features are remote control and geo-fencing."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The remote control we have helps us a lot."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution."
"The maintenance is average."
"We've really only experimented with their iOS client. This is due to the fact that their Windows client has a lot to be desired. We first tried experimenting with the Windows one but very quickly determined that it wasn't going to cut it for most Windows cases. The Windows portion of this product needs improvement. I'd say that it's not really viable."
"Linux compatibility needs improvement."
"In my opinion, the equipment availabilities and competitive pricings could be improved."
"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."
"The solution can be expensive."
"They should improve the lockdown feature."
"They don't have systems that are built for redundancy. You have one database that manages everything and, if that database crashes, you have a problem."
"We're deploying an application upgrade. We can't do more than three or four devices at once, and we don't know if the device actually received the upgrade. There's no indicator saying it's 100 percent complete until everything is done. Let's say I work East to West. I work on the East Coast and I want to confirm it was done with the upgrades in that region. I wouldn't know until I actually went into it. There's no indicator telling me that it's complete."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
"If the interface was a little bit more intuitive, more easily allowed me to get to where I want to be, that would be a little bit nicer, as far as the file sync goes."
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."
"Where they need improvement is not as much on the technical side but, rather, on their communication. In general, that has been poor. Account management and communication could be greatly improved..."
