Featured Reviews

Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

System supports legacy OS and manages endpoints efficiently but requires a more user-friendly interface and improved technical support
Ivanti Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10 ( /products/windows-10-reviews ). It provided essential features needed for our operations, including endpoint management and remote control. The licensing was quite affordable when it was an on-premises model. Despite being an older tool, it met our requirements until recent advancements.

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

"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"The feature I find most valuable in Microsoft Intune is being able to configure policies and push them directly to mobile phones."
"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"Autopilot is a feature I really like."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"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."
"The management control feature is the most valuable."
"Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 endpoints."
"The product saves time and money."
"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"Sophos Mobile has been rated nine out of ten for security and performance."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"The security features work well."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"They always add more features to this product."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
 

Cons

"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"From an end-user perspective of Microsoft Intune, I haven't experienced any challenges since installation. However, some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."
"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."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."
"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."
"I suggest improving the user interface at the admin level. Currently, it could be much better."
"There is room for improvement in Sophos Mobile's security management for endpoint security."
"There's a need for better protection against hackers trying to access key accounts such as bank accounts."
"It could be more secure."
"I noticed that the VPN aspect is not included in Sophos Mobile."
"I noticed that the VPN aspect is not included in Sophos Mobile. To acquire a VPN for mobile, I have to subscribe to Sophos endpoint, which only works on computers."
"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 product does not work well in iOS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very reasonable."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
Information not available
"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."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
