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.

A solid low-code builder that helps build workflows and processes in a variety of settings
It's not complex, but you need certified skills for setup to be easy. It is different for an L1 resource, who has a basic understanding of things and may not be a developer who deeply understands how to build up the solution, where that understanding is present with an L3 or L2 resource. For maintenance, you need at least one skill set for each module. You would need one for UEM and one more for MDM, which is the ideal way to do it unless you have people who know the modules in and out. We have a larger team for IT service management because the demand for IT service management is high, but we can see that for other modules as well now.

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 block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"Microsoft Intune does help me save time in terms of management of various devices—I don't have to go to those locations to manage the devices at those locations, I can do it remotely, which is very helpful."
"First of all, the integration with the rest of Microsoft's products is a major win."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"I like how Intune brings everything into one place. For example, you can set up conditional access to applications and devices inside Intune. I also like the segregation inside the Intune devices. You can segregate them by Windows, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android. You can sort it by platform, so you don't need to go into the devices section."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."
"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 product has good stability."
"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."
"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is cloud-based, which aids in deployment."
"Sophos Mobile offers several valuable features, such as device tracking, allowing me to know where a device is located."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"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."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"Sophos Mobile has been rated nine out of ten for security and performance."
 

Cons

"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Sometimes, it shows double or triple entries of the same thing, which affects the count's accuracy. Also, some applications onboarded in Microsoft Intune do not get updated. When we look for solutions online, there is often no clear answer."
"I rate Microsoft support between six to eight. The support often involves third parties hired by Microsoft who are knowledgeable, but sometimes the help I receive is not adequate."
"It could offer more attributes for authentication."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"Some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"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."
"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."
"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."
"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."
"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu."
"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."
"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."
"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."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"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."
"Our support reps are based in the Philippines, and it's hard to connect with them sometimes. It took me about two months to resolve my issue, so it wasn't a good experience."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"I suggest improving the user interface at the admin level. Currently, it could be much better."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"The product is expensive."
"The licensing is based on assets for MDM or EM, where you need one license per asset. The license is annual, and it is not very expensive."

"The pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."

"The solution is pretty expensive."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
