We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 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 central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"The product’s most valuable feature is email, browser, and application security."
"The most valuable features of IBM MaaS360 are encryption and mobile design."
"It helped us reduce the number of support incidents by limiting users' access to device configurations."
"Asset management is the most valuable feature and integral for device inventory."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"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 tool's most valuable features are application, distribution, and security. It helps to block user access."
"The most valuable features are mobile device management and security (which allows you to quarantine infected devices)."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the remote support because there are plants here where IT staff is not present. We can use it to provide support remotely."
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"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 most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"The company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."
"The most valuable features are remote control and geo-fencing."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"The user interface could definitely use some improvement."
"The interface is clunky and the layout is a bit outdated. Also, I don't think MaaS360 has as many features as Intune. It doesn't integrate with Office as seamlessly as Intune does, which isn't surprising, given that Intune and Office are Microsoft products."
"The product needs to improve tech support."
"IBM MaaS360 needs to have stronger points when it comes to the area of BYOD."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"Sometimes IBM MaaS360 seems buggy...The solution's technical support team is sometimes slow to respond and not competent enough."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see some SMS integration so people can send data directly from a mobile phone through SMS when there's no internet."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
"The remote screen of the solution gets stuck at times. So, that needs to be improved."
