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.

Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.
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

"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"The best features of Microsoft Intune include continuous implementation of new capabilities each year, covering almost everything."
"Intune has significantly benefited our organization by providing comprehensive visibility into our device ecosystem."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"The core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The ability to deploy patches and automate software deployments to end-user devices is very useful."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"They always add more features to this product."
"The most significant features of Sophos Mobile include controlling user installations and managing features like the camera, which can be disabled or enabled."
"The security features work well."
"Sophos Mobile offers several valuable features, such as device tracking, allowing me to know where a device is located."
"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 most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
 

Cons

"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"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."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"The registration of the product during the initial setup has some issues, and it's not easy to get the quote. It's a bit cumbersome."
"There's a need for better protection against hackers trying to access key accounts such as bank accounts."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"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."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in Sophos Mobile's security management for endpoint security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
Information not available
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
