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.
Chris Reece - PeerSpot reviewer
A security solution to manage devices with patching and remediation feature
The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization.
Ramunas Tranavicius - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"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."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."
"Microsoft integrated BitLocker and Active Directory into Intune, simplifying management."
"The product has good stability."
"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."
"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."
"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is cloud-based, which aids in deployment."
"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."
"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."
"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."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"The security features work well."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"I recommend Sophos Mobile to medium-sized companies."
"The features that stand out for maintaining mobile security are compliance and the ability to install applications and configure work profiles."
 

Cons

"Customer service is not really good. I would give it a six out of ten. The main issue is the time it takes to get someone involved who truly understands what the product does."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"Technical support can be challenging when resources shift, requiring repeated explanations. Support from India sometimes provides information without the right solution."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."
"The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization."
"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."
"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu."
"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."
"It could benefit from faster integration with new technologies, such as quicker adaptation to Windows updates. Additionally, more advanced customization options would be valuable."
"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."
"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."
"One area that could be improved is the compatibility with all mobile platforms, including iOS and Android, especially with the older versions."
"I suggest improving the user interface at the admin level. Currently, it could be much better."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"There is room for improvement in Sophos Mobile's security management for endpoint security."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"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

"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."

"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."

"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
