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 dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements."
"Microsoft Intune has been a time saver and reduces the time and effort IT admins have to invest."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Intune include remote updates. The update runs in the background, so there's no need in most cases to go on-site to do it."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"We use SOTI MobiControl for managing Android device management."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"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."
"It's been very stable over the past few years."
"The remote control technology and screen-sharing absolutely help us resolve issues faster. If there is a remote user who has difficulties or does not understand an error or a problem or a crash, the support team can remote control the phone and see right away what is on the screen and act on the problem. We can debug, we can help, we can reboot the phone."
"It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"Among the valuable features are managing configurations of all devices and being able to remote into devices... We send out configurations for each site that has its devices. Each site has a different configuration, and SOTI manages each configuration for each site"
 

Cons

"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
"We face multiple scenarios where IT decision-makers request specific policy implementations, however, due to product limitations, we cannot fulfill these requests."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"One drawback of Intune is that we cannot find devices based on a user's region or location."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"SOTI MobiControl's user interface is very tough to handle and should be made more user-friendly."
"Companies like SOTI and Mobile Iron are working with Google to help them manage these devices and eliminate the use of bar code scanner sales and mobile device sales. That's kind of crazy."
"For improvement, maintaining pace with updates from operating systems such as Android and Windows would be sufficient."
"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."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
"We're deploying an application upgrade. We can't do more than three or four devices at once, and we don't know if the device actually received the upgrade. There's no indicator saying it's 100 percent complete until everything is done. Let's say I work East to West. I work on the East Coast and I want to confirm it was done with the upgrades in that region. I wouldn't know until I actually went into it. There's no indicator telling me that it's complete."
"One issue is that if someone is using an Apple device and they're on the SIM card for data, it does not push the SOTI management system through immediately. It only works when you have it on WiFi. That's something I've noticed as we're troubleshooting and deploying devices into the field."
"Improving the reporting section would be beneficial for enhancing the product's overall functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
Information not available
"SOTI MobiControl is a budget-friendly solution."
"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."
"It's a little bit expensive."
"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."
"You need to secure a license on a per-device basis."
"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."
"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."
