Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

Has improved mobile device management through features such as geofencing, firmware upgrades, and centralized control
One of the best features of SOTI MobiControl is that it is one of the oldest MDM solutions available. There are many features such as geofencing with map integration, APK upgrade, firmware upgrade, and it provides battery status, device status, and more. SOTI MobiControl impacts organizations positively because customers want an application MDM solution for managing their mobile devices from a central control. They have given good feedback and were happy with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."
"The main value of Microsoft Intune is better asset management from a security perspective, ensuring that the security baseline is enforced on all devices, including mobile devices."
"I find Microsoft Intune valuable primarily for its Windows management capabilities, along with its Android Enterprise and Apple device management for mobile devices."
"Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 endpoints."
"Microsoft Intune is brilliant for scalability and is excellent for scaling purposes."
"It's really easy to access."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"It gives us the ability to manage our mobile fleets and push out updates quickly for all of our internal applications to keep the business running. We can push an app update out in minutes..."
"The keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"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."
"I recommend SOTI MobiControl for its ease of deploying new components and software remotely without onsite personnel."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"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 other feature, that I have got to say is just leaps and bounds ahead of SOTI's competition, is the remote control feature. It's a true admin remote-control, so we don't have to have somebody on the other side of the device allowing us access to the device... We're able to pull up a tablet or phone and take pictures of it and we can actually videotape what's going on, on the device itself, and that's been huge."
"SOTI MobiControl brings ROI for customers, as they can save significantly by cutting travel costs to manage devices, since everything can be managed from the dashboard."
 

Cons

"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
"It could offer more attributes for authentication."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"The product’s features for managing Windows devices need improvement."
"The previous version, for example, had the networking signal and that feature was great. When we were troubleshooting, we could find the level of the network I/O. If the worker was working in a corner of the warehouse where the signal was not as strong as in another part of the warehouse, we could tell, "Just move a little and you will have coverage for your device." That was great. I don't know why they removed it from the newer version."
"In the next release, they should make it easier to migrate."
"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."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"The UI could be improved to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"The price is very reasonable."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
Information not available
"It's a little bit expensive."
"The price of this solution is high when you compare it with Microsoft Intune. This is mainly because Microsoft Intune is included with some packages, such as Microsoft Office 365. It makes it difficult to sell SOTI MobiControl because of the pricing against Microsoft Intune."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a five."
"Its pricing policy is not stable. The licensing is on a one-yearly, two-yearly, or three-yearly basis. There is no monthly fee."
"We have annual licenses to use this solution."
"The solution that we were using costs less, but it didn't offer as much as Soti. It's comparable if you look at it over the five-year term."
"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."
"You need to secure a license on a per-device basis."
