Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

An MDM solution for controlling and restricting data on devices
Everyone is using high-end devices, such as mobile devices. If they lose their devices, how about the data copied to other devices? Once the device is lost, you can remotely delete all of the data and block the device, preventing anyone from using or reusing it. This will keep your devices secure.

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

"For our customer, it meant no on-premise systems configuration infrastructure or identity management services were required."
"Microsoft Intune has positively impacted our organization by improving our security posture and making device management much more efficient, especially for remote users and distributed teams."
"Microsoft Intune policies, remote wipe, and using corporate and private profiles are valuable features, but MFA is the most valuable feature as it ensures that the end user is authentic."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."
"Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Overall, Microsoft Intune has helped me manage devices more efficiently while maintaining better security and compliance standards across the organization."
"Scalefusion has significantly increased the amount of work we can perform and has made it much easier to achieve our goals efficiently by eliminating tedious work and cumbersome processes."
"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."
"Scalefusion is easy to use, and they have a broad knowledge base, so you can quickly find answers if you're unsure how to do something. The articles on the knowledge base are well-written, with clear steps on what to do for a specific scenario. That part is well documented."
"It saves us time for expensive labor representatives and in pushing out applications and updates and getting what our customers need to them quicker."
"The solution helps us streamline our deployments and troubleshooting, saving a lot of time by avoiding downtime."
"The menu is very user-friendly, and SOTI helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it."
"It is simple to use."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"For sure it gives a very big value for our support quality."
 

Cons

"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"We had an APNS certificate set to expire last week. We tried to renew it two days before it expired. We logged in to the APNS portal but could not find that certificate. We didn't know where it went. All the iOS devices stopped working. We contacted the Apple and Microsoft teams, and each blamed the other. This is something that Microsoft should take care of. Last week, we had so many escalations from high-profile users who couldn't access corporate data on their devices."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"A major challenge is making all the products work within device management solutions like Intune. It would be beneficial if Microsoft removed support for older products much earlier in the process."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."
"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button. Currently, we have to sift through different groups to block a device. It would be nice if Scalefusion allowed me to block without moving the device to a different profile. Another helpful feature they could add is the ability to migrate from one MDM to another. I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough."
"One area for improvement could be streamlining permissions during initial device setup, especially for corporate-owned devices, to reduce manual user interaction and expedite deployment."
"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button."
"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 is a limitation if you want to migrate from the AirWatch to SOTI."
"SOTI MobiControl's user interface is very tough to handle and should be made more user-friendly."
"The product’s features for managing Windows devices need improvement."
"I can't speak to any improvements to my organization right now because I don't have a functioning MDM."
"I would like them to improve the process of enrolling Android devices. It's much more difficult to enroll Android devices than it is Windows CE devices. There are a lot more steps required."
"Customer service is good, but sometimes it is challenging to reach them promptly during urgent situations."
"Initial setup was complex for us as we wanted to upgrade from an older version V4.1 to Version 9 or 10 or later."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
Information not available
"I thought pricing was kind of high, but I believe that Soti is probably the best out there for this type of software, so there's not much I can do about that. The licensing is annual, per device."
"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."
"There are solutions that can be more aggressively priced, but they may not provide all that SOTI does. It's a matrix regarding what feature you use. You need to compare the features you use and what you are willing to pay for them... SOTI's pricing is okay. It's in the middle... They can provide more aggressive pricing once you start to have a lot of licenses."
"Its pricing policy is not stable. The licensing is on a one-yearly, two-yearly, or three-yearly basis. There is no monthly fee."
"It's a little bit expensive."
"SOTI's pricing seems to be competitive."
"It makes sense to have scanners on SOTI MobiControl, but it makes less sense to have printers because there are fewer features for them, while the price is the same for both."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
