We performed a comparison between Sophos Mobile and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"Sophos can block the Wi-Fi connection on a mobile device. That's one feature we wanted, but the main thing is the ability to disable the device if it's lost or stolen. We need to shut down PayPal, so it can't be used to make unauthorized purchases."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"The security features work well."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The solution can scale."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"The most valuable features of VMware Workspace ONE are security and having support for all the latest features that are coming out from Apple. They're pretty fast at adopting new features. This is one of the most vital aspects of mobile device management systems."
"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"Workspace ONE has something like an orchestrator model that allows me to configure a set of steps to onboard new PCs, laptops, or tablets. So, it makes my work easy."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"The product does not work well in iOS."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"The setup should be made easier."
"It could be more secure."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"To manage the Apple devices is not that straightforward there are a lot of features the other third parties solutions are offering which Sophos Mobile is not."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
