Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Helpful technical support, and performs well, but initial setup could be simplified
They are constantly improving the scalability of BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite. More collaborative features are being developed. I know they have integrations with a lot of other vendors and applications, and it's constantly growing. Our company has approximately 3,000 users. I would say we have ten people for actual administrative roles with Blackberry.

Mobile security has improved posture and now provides centralized control and secure BYOD spaces
An area I can suggest for improvement in Sophos Mobile is in the area of management; while it has been great so far, integration with more third-party solutions would also be a great improvement. Regarding functionality, I think an area Sophos Mobile can actually improve is by infusing more AI-integrated services and solutions into the product. The setup process for Sophos Mobile is not very cumbersome; to set it up, I just send the setup email link to the user, but the user still has some activities to carry out, and that may be another area of improvement if Sophos can enable the entire configuration possible from the management console without users having to perform activities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"What I like most about Intune is its seamless enrollment process, particularly the Autopilot method."
"Microsoft integrated BitLocker and Active Directory into Intune, simplifying management."
"The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection."
"On the cloud, you can manage everything; you can push policies, maintain patches, and maintain security because everything interacts on the cloud and a VPN is not required."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"The system itself is great."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable."
"Cylance, their newest antivirus product, is the most valuable feature for us so far."
"We are able to secure and control all company-owned devices which is essential for us as a financial company."
"From my customers' standpoint, it's reasonably easy to get set up; it's just there, and it just works."
"It was a big improvement to activate applications with one authentication; that was a big plus for the user experience."
"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."
"We are able to separate personal information and in the event of e breach, we are able to turn off access and/or delete this information."
"The technical support for the solution is excellent."
"The security features work well."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"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 most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"Sophos Mobile offers features like cash mode and safe mode, and allows for central management, which I find effective for device security, though it depends on the clients' needs and the types of mobile devices used."
"The most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"If we can not seem to get even half a dozen users working with the product in a way we consider stable, the scalability is in question."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."
"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that."
"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."
"One issue that is very annoying at that moment, that we're having an argument about with BlackBerry, is the inability to remove the signature automatically from the server."
"The first installation is very complicated but future installments are much easier."
"The interface could be improved."
"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."
"We cannot integrate BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise. BlackBerry Edit has issues when we are editing any document."
"Some users have complained that some features cannot be done through the BlackBerry Access Hub."
"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."
"An area I can suggest for improvement in Sophos Mobile is in the area of management; while it has been great so far, integration with more third-party solutions would also be a great improvement."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"The features of Sophos Mobile could improve. The way the system works together could be better."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"I noticed that the VPN aspect is not included in Sophos Mobile."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."
"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."
"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."
"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."
"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."
"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."
"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."
"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
