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 aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"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."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"All features are useful. It is useful for preventing the use of unauthorized software on corporate-owned devices. It provides an option to lock the devices for unauthorized software. The devices can only be used under the supervision of the device manager."
"The company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"The keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"The most valuable features of the solution are containerization and app control."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"Technical support is not that great."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"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."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration and more features around the iOS and macOS platforms."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the ability to customize devices and choosing what information goes onto them."
"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."
"They should improve the lockdown feature."
"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."
"I wish that I had some more tutorials and educational resources on how to use the product."
"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."
"There could be a feature for user ID management."
