We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 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."Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"The implementation phase of IBM MaaS360 was pretty easy."
"My customers value the ability to control all their devices from a central point in IBM MaaS360."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The ability to send an iPad out to someone and have them auto-provision it when they are out in the field is fantastic. We don't have to have it all configured before we ship it. This is probably the biggest value add."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"Mobile Device Management, Secure Productivity Suite, and document management are valuable features."
"It is a stable solution that functions twenty-four hours and seven days a week."
"The licensing is simple."
"SOTI MobiControl is the right solution for customers who want a reliable and low-cost MDM solution."
"It's been very stable over the past few years."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."
"It is very reliable, and their support is excellent."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"The remote control we have helps us a lot."
"The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"It's difficult for someone like me to set up a phone that doesn't require a SIM card, like Apple's new phones."
"Sometimes IBM MaaS360 seems buggy...The solution's technical support team is sometimes slow to respond and not competent enough."
"The interface is clunky and the layout is a bit outdated. Also, I don't think MaaS360 has as many features as Intune. It doesn't integrate with Office as seamlessly as Intune does, which isn't surprising, given that Intune and Office are Microsoft products."
"Zero day support is something they can work on. They can make it a little bit more user-friendly."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"For the most part, the application deployment works well. Occasionally, when moving a gun, we'll see that we have to manually intervene, when working with the setup."
"If the interface was a little bit more intuitive, more easily allowed me to get to where I want to be, that would be a little bit nicer, as far as the file sync goes."
"I wish I had the ability to select an app singly and install or refresh it, instead of having to go into the application controls and assign it to a group. I wish there was a spot that listed all my applications. I could go into a single one and refresh or update. It's not very easily accessible, per application."
"Adding more features for iOS devices would be an improvement."
"Its user interface needs to be improved."
"Companies like SOTI and Mobile Iron are working with Google to help them manage these devices and eliminate the use of bar code scanner sales and mobile device sales. That's kind of crazy."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration and more features around the iOS and macOS platforms."
"Improving the reporting section would be beneficial for enhancing the product's overall functionality."
