Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"The solution is easy to implement." "The ability to send an iPad out to someone and have them auto-provision it when they are out in the field is fantastic. We don't have to have it all configured before we ship it. This is probably the biggest value add." "The most valuable feature is the fact that we can find a lost device or shut the device down and wipe it is good for HIPAA." | "It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security." "The most valuable features are visibility and remote access." "The remote control we have helps us a lot." "We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle." "The most valuable features are remote control and geo-fencing." "All features are useful. It is useful for preventing the use of unauthorized software on corporate-owned devices. It provides an option to lock the devices for unauthorized software. The devices can only be used under the supervision of the device manager." |
Cons | |
"Local technical support would be helpful." "We opted to go with Microsoft Intune because it just seemed to be a more mature and comprehensive enterprise solution, whereas IBM MaaS360 didn't seem to have the necessary breadth to manage all of our equipment. Along with laptops, I've had some BYODs. IBM MaaS360 just didn't seem as mature in our assessment." "The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use." | "The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks." "There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them." "The solution could use better reporting." "In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate." "Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement." "The pricing policy of SOTI is not stable. You buy it today at one price, and the following year, it becomes something like 5% or 7% higher. From my point of view, SOTI is a little bit weak in terms of implementation on the new Windows 10 devices, and they have to work on this. It can't compete with Intune and other solutions when it comes to Windows implementation. It almost doesn't work with iOS. It works well with Android." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"Fees are monthly and it's approximately $8 per user." | "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees." "Its pricing policy is not stable. The licensing is on a one-yearly, two-yearly, or three-yearly basis. There is no monthly fee." |
