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

"It works pretty well for us."
"Overall, my user experience with Microsoft Intune has been great."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"These capabilities have made a significant impact in my work, providing a comprehensive view of all devices and features in a single platform."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"SOTI MobiControl is user-friendly and easy to access compared to AirWatch."
"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 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 remote control we have helps us a lot."
"I have experience with technical support. They are quite good. Also, they very quickly understand the issues and what are the requirements from my side. Response time is also good."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"The licensing is simple."
 

Cons

"I rate Microsoft customer service six out of 10. While some technicians go above and beyond, there is inconsistency, and connecting with the most helpful representatives is occasionally challenging."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"The support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"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."
"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"Improving the reporting section would be beneficial for enhancing the product's overall functionality."
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"The remote screen of the solution gets stuck at times. So, that needs to be improved."
"The documentation could be improved in SOTI MobiControl."
"SOTI MobiControl currently lacks some DLP features."
"There are some limitations with the remote control feature, and the interface occasionally experiences issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
Information not available
"The price is average. SOTI manages the price according to the type of client they have. I would rate the cost as five out of ten."
"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."
"There are additional costs if you want to use extra features."
"The pricing is reasonable and the licensing model is very reasonable when compared to some of the competitors in the market. I can speak directly regarding Intune, which is very expensive compared to SOTI."
"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."
"You need to secure a license on a per-device basis."
"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"It's a little bit expensive."
