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."It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"The solution is stable."
"Apple School Manager integration and access to VPP content made the integration of devices into our fleet flawless and application installation much simpler and faster."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the policies."
"The Smart Groups have been very beneficial for quick reporting when a critical, out of cycle patch is required."
"I found that automated enrollment is very powerful because you can bring standardization to the environment."
"The DEP enrollment is quite good. We're planning to migrate to the Jamf cloud this month."
"The time that we save in hours for new deployments, redeployments, application upgrades and OS upgrades more than makes up for the cost of the product."
"Integration with Apple's DEP program and the ability to image systems quickly and efficiently is one of the best features. I use Jamf Pro to push out remote access tools that allow us to help our users with issues that require more "hands-on" than only MDM can provide, which is nice as well."
"The action and trigger is the main thing for us. We like the kind of repetitive script which we can use there."
"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."
"It's been very stable over the past few years."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of moving items from one configuration to another; it's a Windows-like setup. Also, the admin console is very easy to manage and to move through."
"The licensing is simple."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SOTI's most valuable feature has to be mobile device management and visibility through the main console. There's a central dashboard that you can use to monitor the devices and keep track of usage, battery consumption, and battery life."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"The upgrade process of this solutions could be improved. It is not possible to use Jamf Pro to upgrade devices."
"There is still no feature for properly patching T2 Security Chip-enabled Macs."
"It would be nice to be able to search smart groups and/or filter them."
"I would love to see an integrated ticketing system built-in, better reporting templates to help analyze the data (software usage, etc.), and integration with FREE SSL Cert (letsencrypt.org) with auto-renewal."
"Jamf should give the option to download individual device policy logs, as this capability would really help to diagnose issues."
"I think it would be best if Jamf had support tiers."
"A dark mode would for sure be appreciated."
"SOTI MobiControl could improve by being more user-friendly."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration and more features around the iOS and macOS platforms."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
