We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro 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."For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The self-service is invaluable to the user."
"The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service."
"Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have."
"We were able to dramatically enhance our cybersecurity, and better support our users."
"Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office."
"Jamf Pro allows us to manage all Apple devices from a single interface, making it easy to deploy and configure software, set policies, and inventory devices."
"As an administrator, I really love the integration with Apple Business Manager."
"We have been able to keep our tech department lean and mean, maximizing our efficiency by utilizing Jamf to set up our iPads for us, rather than installing each app one at a time."
"The ease of access was awesome. The guys helping us out were pretty fluent in the product. I currently have two devices in a dashboard that we're testing, but the solution that they have is awesome. I like that it's a cloud-based based solution, and I think there will be some significant cost savings."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"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."
"We use the Lockdown Kiosk Mode feature on all of our devices. We use that so that the operators can't change any settings in the background, and so that the applications they run are immediately available to them. It's a good feature."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the remote control. If there are issues in the field, we can remote into those devices and see what kind of issues they are."
"The admin part, where I'm adding users, is not too bad. It's easy enough to use."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"I think there's room for improvement on the automation. For example, uploading a package to Jamf Pro and then updating the policy and other aspects, should be automatic. For instance, if I put a new version of the software, version 11 and the previous one was 10, Jamf Pro should be able to recognize if there's an update and update the policy automatically. It's not a big deal, but I think there's room for improvement."
"We had some issues with its integration with other products, such as Intune. There were some issues with the way you have to register your device into Intune."
"Jamf Pro currently is only used on Mac computers and could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems. We have to use other tools to manage our Windows and Android devices. There could be other improvements but I am still exploring and learning more about the features."
"I wish the inventory would have its own pane without having to do it as a search."
"The patch management needs improvement in Jamf Pro."
"I think it would be best if Jamf had support tiers."
"It would be nice to be able to search smart groups and/or filter them."
"It would be amazing if they would give Apple TV management its own space in Jamf Pro and not just mix it in with devices."
"Improving the reporting section would be beneficial for enhancing the product's overall functionality."
"You need to get used to the admin console. I think it could be improved. It's not the best I've seen. Certainly, the software has a lot of features so you necessarily have some complexity in the interface, but I've seen better. They could make it easier in certain aspects."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"SOTI MobiControl's user interface is very tough to handle and should be made more user-friendly."
"The remote screen of the solution gets stuck at times. So, that needs to be improved."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"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."
