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."Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"Intune provides full endpoint visibility and IT control across device platforms. You can individualize it for your company with the Intune Company Portal app."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"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."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The tool's most valuable feature is a remote connection to the devices. You can also push and lock applications. It helps us lock devices for professional use to control which applications can be installed."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"They always add more features to this product."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"In terms of valuable features, we liked the lock feature, the roll-out white feature, and the find feature. I think that Sophos had a GPS locator, so you could figure out where the phone was from a GPS location."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The security features work well."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"As a partner, we consider 42Gears to be a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution. So, we should be able to manage users with this particular solution. This is something that is currently not there. It is probably an area for improvement for 42Gears."
"In terms of what could be improved, the initial configuration and setup of the environment could probably be made a little bit easier. There are so many pieces that go into it. Intune is absolutely insane and Sophos is better, but it still is a bit complex to get it all set up correctly."
"The setup should be made easier."
"We have experienced issues in updating iOS devices when we set a minimum version requirement policy, and we do not have the option to force automatic installation. This means that the device must be supervised in order for updates to be applied, which we would like to see improved."
"They continue to work on integration with mobile device management and mobile security. They are improving the protection but I think that the capabilities still need to be enhanced."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"The features of Sophos Mobile could improve. The way the system works together could be better. Additionally, the integration with other Sophos products could improve."
