Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, TIBCO and others in Master Data Management (MDM) Software."The most valuable feature of Microsoft MDS is its management."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"More generic related things can be included in the services."
"It's very easy to use."
"What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users."
"One of the main features I have found useful is the integration with Azure active directory."
"The most valuable feature is the administration console."
"It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"Because we have a custom, business-to-business applications, the solution's deployment features give us the ability to control the deployment of new versions. We can granularly decide which people or which phone receive updates. It's kind of like having your own "app store" and being able to control what you deploy on the phones... You can see how the deployment is happening; if it's going well or not."
"The product provides us with information about the incidents. It helped us block specific devices remotely."
"The installation is very straightforward."
"SOTI MobiControl is the right solution for customers who want a reliable and low-cost MDM solution."
"It is very reliable, and their support is excellent."
"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."
"It would be a better option to have an on-cloud version."
"I do not like using Silverlight and Internet Explorer. The new 2019 version gets rid of that, which is one of the reasons why we are looking to switch."
"The stability could be improved."
"Microsoft MDS isn't getting strong support because Microsoft is focusing more on cloud solutions."
"From my understanding, MS, as of 2021, will not maintain the product going forward."
"The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products."
"Most of the Microsoft partners, especially digitally, are separate. Personnel are business people, and they do not have technical expertise, so you end up as a company spending a lot of money training your staff and your engineers."
"More generic related things can be included in the services."
"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."
"You need to get used to the admin console. I think it could be improved. It's not the best I've seen. Certainly, the software has a lot of features so you necessarily have some complexity in the interface, but I've seen better. They could make it easier in certain aspects."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"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."
"One issue is that if someone is using an Apple device and they're on the SIM card for data, it does not push the SOTI management system through immediately. It only works when you have it on WiFi. That's something I've noticed as we're troubleshooting and deploying devices into the field."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
