Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Centralized device control has strengthened compliance and continuously improves risk visibility
The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all. Hexnode UEM should be flexible in its solution offering. Currently, they only have around three types of licenses or packages, and whether you use the solution or the features or not, they are already included in the suite. Some products offer an a la carte solution, so in order to compete with those products, Hexnode UEM should consider repackaging the solution with respect to the region where it is being offered. The solution offered to India might not be optimal if it is offered to the Philippines or a different country, so the offering should be on a country-by-country basis or a regional basis.

Has improved mobile device management through features such as geofencing, firmware upgrades, and centralized control
One of the best features of SOTI MobiControl is that it is one of the oldest MDM solutions available. There are many features such as geofencing with map integration, APK upgrade, firmware upgrade, and it provides battery status, device status, and more. SOTI MobiControl impacts organizations positively because customers want an application MDM solution for managing their mobile devices from a central control. They have given good feedback and were happy with the solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Microsoft Intune is cost-effective and easy to use, so I can recommend it."
"Autopilot is a feature I really like."
"We have seen a clear ROI with Microsoft Intune; time saved has reduced device setup from three to five hours to thirty minutes, and there is a workload reduction of around twenty to thirty percent less manual effort from the IT team."
"The best features of Microsoft Intune include helping to know if computers are configured correctly and if users have access to apps or the platform."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"Microsoft Intune has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of security and efficiency."
"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."
"Intune's compliance features are valuable because they allow immediate visibility into ongoing situations."
"Hexnode UEM has in-depth support of device operating systems, which is one of the most common requirements."
"It's very easy to use."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"It is very reliable, and their support is excellent."
"It saves us time for expensive labor representatives and in pushing out applications and updates and getting what our customers need to them quicker."
"We can do auto patch updates using SOTI. SOTI has been well placed in terms of the number of endpoints it can handle."
"There are many aspects in which we've improved the efficiency of our operation."
"Using SOTI Mobicontrol we have been able to install and upgrade the Mobile application on 1600+ devices in the field."
"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."
"It helps in enrolling, managing, and relocating the devices quickly."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to deploy apps on the fly. We're able to update and deploy new applications, directly from the cloud. That's been a huge feature for us. Instead of putting hands on each of these devices - and we're talking thousands of devices - we can manage it all from the backend."
 

Cons

"I would like Intune to natively support easier report generation. This improvement would enable less experienced staff to run reports more efficiently without relying on additional tools or functions."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"I've dealt with Microsoft way too many times, and needless to say, I'm not too fond of Microsoft support most of the time."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports."
"The generic answer to what can be improved is that I hope that the reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"One issue that Inutune can improve is password integration with the BitLocker key option. Another issue is assigning licenses. We can assign the licenses for some users on the BPM side, and our BPS users work on Outlook 365 but cannot access it there. A BPS person can go to the company portal and download Outlook 2016. They could improve the NDIS part to assign a license directly to the BPS person that allows them to install the Intune device manager directly on our system."
"The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"SOTI MobiControl's user interface is very tough to handle and should be made more user-friendly."
"There is a limitation if you want to migrate from the AirWatch to SOTI."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration and more features around the iOS and macOS platforms."
"SOTI MobiControl could improve by being more user-friendly."
"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."
"Customer service is good, but sometimes it is challenging to reach them promptly during urgent situations."
"The main feature that we would like to have with Soti is the ability to push an iOS update without having people come to my office. That is the main reason why we went with Soti. And that feature is not working on my version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
Information not available
"The price is average. SOTI manages the price according to the type of client they have. I would rate the cost as five out of ten."
"They've been pretty flexible with us, because we've changed the way we do our licensing a few times. We did a yearly, and then we went back and we did a quarterly, and I think we're back to yearly right now. We've been able to work stuff out and pricing has gone down since the onset. We've got a better rate per device and it's reasonable. The licensing cost from SOTI usually doesn't scare anybody, away once it's explained."
"It's a little bit expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a five."
"SOTI MobiControl is a budget-friendly solution."
"I thought pricing was kind of high, but I believe that Soti is probably the best out there for this type of software, so there's not much I can do about that. The licensing is annual, per device."
"There are additional costs if you want to use extra features."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
