We performed a comparison between Ivanti Avalanche 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."Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"The stability is good."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"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."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."
"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."
"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."
"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We use SOTI MobiControl for managing Android device management."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"The keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"The remote control we have helps us a lot."
"The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."
"The Lockdown Kiosk Mode is very useful... When you have 9,000 people remotely using your applications, you want to make sure that they don't play with Facebook while they're supposed to be working... It also prevents installation of software that could be harmful or compromise the security of the phone."
"The licensing is simple."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"The tool's stability could be better."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"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."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"SOTI MobiControl is very good for Android and Windows, but it should add a little bit on the Apple side because it doesn't have much control on the Apple side."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"They could make it easier to configure. While setting it up from scratch, I find many networking issues, and I have to call our network people for them, but our network people don't understand. It's a nightmare to try to communicate to them that this port needs to be open, or this needs to be opened here or there. Networking people are very security conscious, and they're wary of doing anything. So, if you can't tell them exactly why they need to do something, they get really paranoid. SOTI could do a better job of making the configuration of their software easier to understand and more clear. The prerequisites should be clear. They should clearly specify what is required to get this software working. There should be a list of prerequisites that is easier to understand and trust."
"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."
"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..."
