Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Helps save time and money for users
I used Ivanti Endpoint Manager because I had one of their other tools in my old company, which is a DSM. DSM was used for my old environment, which I was responsible for, and I was really satisfied with Ivanti. Ivanti later on decided not to sell DSM anymore and stopped supporting it. Ivanti then offered people a tool named LANDESK. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is a tool we are bringing in place in our current company, and it has a similar functionality to DSM, a reason why my company decided to go for it. We also install machines from scratch with the tool. We can also patch third-party products, and it does not even have to be Microsoft always. Actually, we get a lot of freeing up resources because we can now manage Ivanti Endpoint Manager from a central point, which was not possible earlier, and we had to run to each machine.

Provides enterprise mobility and remote control mobile device management
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. This feature would be good because there are some places in Africa where the internet stability isn't that good. During the voting process, they send the result through SMS. If SOTI can add the functionality where some of the clients can send information offline, via SMS, then that would be a good improvement for some places where there isn't a lot of internet stability.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like the most about Microsoft Intune is its ability to manage mobile devices. Through integration with System Center, it can also manage desktops and laptops."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The mobile device management is very useful."
"The solution has significantly improved managing a diverse range of devices. We have observed enhancements across Android, iOS, and Windows devices."
"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."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."
"The product saves time and money."
"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."
"We use SOTI MobiControl for managing Android device management."
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"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 company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."
"SOTI MobiControl is the right solution for customers who want a reliable and low-cost MDM solution."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do. Trust your people. We promise not to break your stuff. Open it up just a tiny bit wider."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"For autopilot, there should be more granularity on the settings that they offer at this stage."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"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."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"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."
"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."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"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..."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
Information not available
"They've been pretty flexible with us, because we've changed the way we do our licensing a few times. We did a yearly, and then we went back and we did a quarterly, and I think we're back to yearly right now. We've been able to work stuff out and pricing has gone down since the onset. We've got a better rate per device and it's reasonable. The licensing cost from SOTI usually doesn't scare anybody, away once it's explained."
"There are additional costs if you want to use extra features."
"You need to secure a license on a per-device basis."
"Pricing is okay, but when you buy your renewal of licenses - at the end of the period or the year - if you have a lot of devices, obviously, it's going to increase. In the end, it's kind of expensive."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"SOTI MobiControl is a cheap solution."
"It's a little bit expensive."
"SOTI's pricing seems to be competitive."
