We performed a comparison between 42Gears SureMDM and SOTI MobiControl based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"The tool's most valuable feature is a remote connection to the devices. You can also push and lock applications. It helps us lock devices for professional use to control which applications can be installed."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"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."
"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."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."
"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."
"SOTI's most valuable feature has to be mobile device management and visibility through the main console. There's a central dashboard that you can use to monitor the devices and keep track of usage, battery consumption, and battery life."
"The admin part, where I'm adding users, is not too bad. It's easy enough to use."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"As a partner, we consider 42Gears to be a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution. So, we should be able to manage users with this particular solution. This is something that is currently not there. It is probably an area for improvement for 42Gears."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"I would like to see some SMS integration so people can send data directly from a mobile phone through SMS when there's no internet."
"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."
"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."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"Reporting could be better. When I try to run a report, it doesn't have a filter or even a feature where I can choose what I have in the report. That's been a struggle since the first time I used it so I just don't touch it anymore."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"The main feature that we would like to have with Soti is the ability to push an iOS update without having people come to my office. That is the main reason why we went with Soti. And that feature is not working on my version."
