Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."It's really easy to access."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"We are able to separate personal information and in the event of e breach, we are able to turn off access and/or delete this information."
"It allows me to be able to access my email when I do not necessarily have my computer with me. I can also access my calendar when I am on public transport or outside of the office."
"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"The most important feature is Blackberry Work, for sure, because that is where you have email."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable. Having access to your emails in a secure way is one of the most important features of this solution. Blackberry ensures data security, and as a user, I can use it while on roaming or wherever I am."
"It gives us the ability to have a container and the most secure possible application."
"The functionality with UEM and BlackBerry Works, the shared calendar, is a massive improvement for us."
"It has a user-friendly menu that helps manage special purpose devices for security."
"The most valuable features are remote control, remote monitoring of the mobile phone data, GPS localization, automobile network management, identity management, speaker logging, and remote management of mobile content."
"The company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."
"It helps in enrolling, managing, and relocating the devices quickly."
"The best feature is its compatibility with various device versions, such as Windows, making it work seamlessly."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"The remote control we have helps us a lot."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"I wanted to check if there is any provision at the Intune level to restrict certain things, such as a website, but unfortunately, that feature is available only in Microsoft Defender. Intune has web filtering capabilities, but they are only useful for protection from malicious websites, whereas we would like to be able to restrict a website. For example, YouTube is a clean website. No one would identify it as a malicious website, but if we want to stop the end-users from going to that website, we have to go for another product, such as Microsoft Defender or another third-party proxy solution. It would be great if this capability is included in Intune."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."
"The console needs improvement. It does not provide all the information that we are looking for as far as who has installed a certain product."
"I would like more support for Google Chromebook operating system, so I could manage it."
"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that. The fact that it breaks on some end-users' devices is also a concern and just the frequency and complexity of upgrades is not ideal."
"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."
"The installations on the device could be simpler. It is a good solution, and all the features are there. So, there isn't a lot to improve. I'm sure they already have their thought process on how to improve it."
"The newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."
"I would like to see better integration with our AD. Instead of having to use Active Directory groups, we'd like to use Active Directory attributes instead. There is a lot of overhead in managing. Whereas, if we could key on something tied to HR, or some other feed indicating who they are or what role they have, and manage them that way, that would be much preferable than having to manage people with Active Directory groups. Because, if people move roles, then we have to make sure that we move them from one Active Directory group to another, which is hands-on, a lot of overhead."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"SOTI MobiControl is very good for Android and Windows, but it should add a little bit on the Apple side because it doesn't have much control on the Apple side."
"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..."
"SOTI MobiControl's user interface is very tough to handle and should be made more user-friendly."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
"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."
"Most of our devices are Android, they're Google related, so we need access from Google to do certain things. There are ways around that, but that's something that we're really looking for. How can we control the Apple Air? How can we get into that app?... How can we make sure that that app doesn't try to update in the middle of the day when our driver needs it?"
"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."
