Comparison Results: SOTI MobiControl is the winner in this comparison. It is easy to deploy, high performing, fairly priced, and has excellent customer support.
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"Easy to use."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"The licensing is simple."
"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 installation is very straightforward."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The scalability is horizontal, not vertical. One machine has to have all the accounts. That's one of the issues that we have found with scalability: You always have to keep the same machine. If you want to add a second machine, you need to split the account and that removes flexibility of management."
"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..."
"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."
"SOTI MobiControl could improve by being more user-friendly."
"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."
"They could organize the software a little bit better, where you access things on the console. It seems like I have to click in three different places in order to get it to go to one area. I should be able to access pretty much any point of the server, whatever I need to touch, from a panel, without having to go click on a menu, then click on the profiles, then click over on Server and go back up to the top and click on the type of device that I have, just to get my applications to show."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
