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.

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…

Positive experience with strong features but there is potential for better pricing and tracking capabilities
The product name is REV (R for Romeo, E for Echo, V for Victor) BITS. Trend Micro Mobile Security DLP is not as strong as actual DLP solutions such as Forcepoint. When we pitch DLP to our clients, we usually recommend Forcepoint. However, if someone wants a DLP feature rather than a complete DLP solution, we can provide it through Trend Micro Mobile Security. The technical support is quite good because Trend Micro Mobile Security has their own team in Pakistan. The distributors have their own teams and they help partners develop technical skills. We have three layers of technical support. They offer direct support from Trend Micro Mobile Security at some cost if you want an SLA with them. They respond quickly and you can sign an SLA to monitor their SOC 24/7 for Trend Micro Mobile Security products. Compared to other products selling in Pakistan, they have superior technical teams and support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are."
"Intune saves time, and it is very easy to use. It allows us to manage applications completely."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The security features work well."
"The features that stand out for maintaining mobile security are compliance and the ability to install applications and configure work profiles."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"The most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
"Parental control"
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"Trend Micro Mobile Security is good at responding immediately and making the user aware of potential threats, which is a significant improvement over my previous experience with Kaspersky mobile security over 10 years ago."
"The solution effectively detects virus trends and prevents threats."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Mobile Security is the security it provides."
"Customer service has been excellent. Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East."
"Compared to other products selling in Pakistan, they have superior technical teams and support."
 

Cons

"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."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."
"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
"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 technical support for Sophos Mobile requires improvement. I would rate it as five out of ten."
"It could be more secure."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"The setup should be made easier."
"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."
"The main challenge with Trend Micro Mobile Security for iPhone users is the complex setup process due to Apple's stringent security requirements."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware."
"The only disadvantage I see is that my mobile is very slow after installing this scanner."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"Contact Backup."
"They could improve the prices of Trend Micro Mobile Security products, which are quite expensive."
"There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"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."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"We have a license that we renew yearly."
"Each license costs about $10/year. It's fairly inexpensive because it's a new product. In Pakistan, no more than two or three companies can apply for mobile protection right now. I don't know if there are ancillary costs above the standard licensing fee."
"Very cheap in cost"
