Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

An affordable solution to control BlackBerry applications but has latency issues
The solution is complicated for new users. There are a lot of buttons on the first page. It can be very confusing if you’re not aware of the terms they use. For example, a button labelled ‘edit device’ doesn't explain exactly what it does or how to use it. Setup is difficult, time-consuming, and a lot of procedures are involved. There are latency issues on the application.

Provides effective mobile security for small companies yet needs a clearer user interface and better support
We provide services to small companies with ten to fifty clients. It is important for us, as we operate as an IT company and system integrator, to deploy solutions like Sophos Mobile for mobile security and device management The features that stand out for maintaining mobile security are…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"Microsoft Intune has definitely reduced management burdens."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"The solution has a lot of features, such as adding different applications and devices to one platform. This allowed us to manage many devices and applications from a single platform."
"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."
"The security features work well."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
"Sophos Mobile is efficient in threat detection."
"Deploying the solution is very simple and can be done in less than one hour."
"Sophos Mobile offers several valuable features, such as device tracking, allowing me to know where a device is located."
"We can easily manage the devices because it's already in the cloud. For example, if any phone that belongs to the company is lost, we can easily erase the data."
 

Cons

"If we could remote into a device, it would be great. Currently, we cannot directly connect to the user device. We have to use other tools such as VMware for connecting to devices."
"The security aspect could be more effective."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
"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."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The solution is complicated for new users. There are a lot of buttons on the first page. It can be very confusing if you’re not aware of the terms they use. For example, a button labelled ‘edit device’ doesn't explain exactly what it does or how to use it."
"There's a need for better protection against hackers trying to access key accounts such as bank accounts."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"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."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"There is room for improvement in Sophos Mobile's security management for endpoint security."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
Information not available
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
