We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro 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."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."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Easy to use."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"Automated Device Enrollment workflows are great for zero-touch deployments, vital in the current global context. With Automated Device Enrollment workflows, we can deploy new Apple devices directly to end-users without help from the IT support team."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"Patch management and associated policies help us manage and update our fleet's software."
"We can put certain devices into smart groups based off of device name, department, etc."
"There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS."
"The action and trigger is the main thing for us. We like the kind of repetitive script which we can use there."
"Jamf cut the time it takes to deploy a new machine to a new user."
"It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management."
"The company's support is the best. That'd be the number one thing."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"Among the valuable features are managing configurations of all devices and being able to remote into devices... We send out configurations for each site that has its devices. Each site has a different configuration, and SOTI manages each configuration for each site"
"The remote control we have helps us a lot."
"The most valuable feature of SOTI MobiControl is the feature to control what software is on the equipment that is authorized."
"The Lockdown Kiosk Mode is very useful... When you have 9,000 people remotely using your applications, you want to make sure that they don't play with Facebook while they're supposed to be working... It also prevents installation of software that could be harmful or compromise the security of the phone."
"The installation is very straightforward."
"The other one would be just how easy it is to deploy applications."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"A dark mode would for sure be appreciated."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"A more modern UI in the next release will make the product absolutely perfect."
"There is still no feature for properly patching T2 Security Chip-enabled Macs."
"One feature or improvement that would be awesome is some sort of mobile app from Jamf that can be used to alert admins of custom alerts."
"I'm not exactly sure where it could be improved off the top of my head, but there is room for improvement."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"They should improve the lockdown feature."
"They could make it easier to configure. While setting it up from scratch, I find many networking issues, and I have to call our network people for them, but our network people don't understand. It's a nightmare to try to communicate to them that this port needs to be open, or this needs to be opened here or there. Networking people are very security conscious, and they're wary of doing anything. So, if you can't tell them exactly why they need to do something, they get really paranoid. SOTI could do a better job of making the configuration of their software easier to understand and more clear. The prerequisites should be clear. They should clearly specify what is required to get this software working. There should be a list of prerequisites that is easier to understand and trust."
"Improving the reporting section would be beneficial for enhancing the product's overall functionality."
"The pricing policy of SOTI is not stable. You buy it today at one price, and the following year, it becomes something like 5% or 7% higher. From my point of view, SOTI is a little bit weak in terms of implementation on the new Windows 10 devices, and they have to work on this. It can't compete with Intune and other solutions when it comes to Windows implementation. It almost doesn't work with iOS. It works well with Android."
"SOTI MobiControl currently lacks some DLP features."
"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..."
"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."
"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."
