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.

Simplifies device management, making performing various administrative tasks easier
Sometimes, the server gets slow. The dashboard is only getting loaded. Jamf Pro offers many features, but some improvements could make it even more user-friendly. For example, streamlining authentication controls would enhance its security value. Too many complex settings on the dashboard make it hard for users to navigate. Simplifying the settings would make it easier to use. Adding a more interactive and cleaner UI design would also improve the user experience. Additionally, automatically categorizing policies and configurations by type would be helpful, making the dashboard more organized. Introducing auto-filtering based on categories would streamline configuration management. On the security side, enabling two-factor authentication for console login would provide better protection than single sign-on. Only authorized users can access sensitive data, like the asset inventory stored in the console. 2FA would help keep the system secure, preventing unauthorized access even if login credentials are compromised. Device management needs automation, and Jamf is likely to integrate Apple's Apple Intelligence into its framework once it's available. This integration is expected to be a significant enhancement for the Jamf console, potentially transforming the way device management is handled.

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 most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."
"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."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"I find Microsoft Intune valuable primarily for its Windows management capabilities, along with its Android Enterprise and Apple device management for mobile devices."
"The best features include the management, which is quite good, and endpoints."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"Having the ability to automate our workflows has been great."
"Jamf is stable, reliable, secure and you have lots of customization options."
"There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS."
"We have been able to successfully manage applications and inventory within our machines."
"Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices."
"Patch management and associated policies help us manage and update our fleet's software."
"It offers professionals an endless amount of possibilities to keep users and the company happy."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"They always add more features to this product."
"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 most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
 

Cons

"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"I think it would be best if Jamf had support tiers."
"I would like to see either a report section or an integration with a new reporting module to allow us to pull real metrics from the system easily."
"I'm not exactly sure where it could be improved off the top of my head, but there is room for improvement."
"I can only say that I would love to see a more customizable dashboard."
"There needs to be a mass policy change tool."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"It will be very helpful if we could restore users after they have been removed from Jamf because I have some cases of deleting a computer before unlocking it."
"I think that there should also be more integrations with Jamf that could better the intelligence-gathering when making business decisions."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"The technical support for Sophos Mobile requires improvement. I would rate it as five out of ten."
"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."
"There's a need for better protection against hackers trying to access key accounts such as bank accounts."
"The setup should be made easier."
"We have experienced issues in updating iOS devices when we set a minimum version requirement policy, and we do not have the option to force automatic installation. This means that the device must be supervised in order for updates to be applied, which we would like to see improved."
"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."
"The application might have issues with other software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"The price of this solution is a bit high but it is worth the money for the features. There is an annual license for the use of this solution."
"This is a pricey solution."
"The only thing that is kicking us a bit is the rand to the dollar exchange rate. It is priced in dollars. Every time the rand goes worse, it just costs more. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing because it is very unpredictable because of the rand to the dollar exchange rate."
"Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."
"Don’t go into a sales call without knowing all the details of your system because Jamf has a ton of tools outside of Jamf Pro to offer and knowing them ahead of time is a must."
"The setup is pricey upfront for support and setup."
"We have signed a licensing contract for three years. There is an option to buy an annual license subscription, but we opted for three years as it came with a 25% or 30% discount."
"JumpStart is available at an additional cost."
"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
