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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access."
"Previously, SCCM was used as an on-premise solution for clients, but now they are moving to Microsoft Intune as a cloud solution with better security and functions."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"These capabilities have made a significant impact in my work, providing a comprehensive view of all devices and features in a single platform."
"EAM is a godsend."
"We can implement a MAM policy in this Intune and protect the device through mobile application development without touching it. The interface is easy to use and understand."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"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."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The security features work well."
"Sophos Mobile has been rated nine out of ten for security and performance."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"It will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
"Parental control"
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"This solution is able to protect the data, files, and folders that have been hijack or encrypted."
"Customer service has been excellent. Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East."
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Mobile Security is the security it provides."
 

Cons

"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"The synchronization of devices takes a significant amount of time, between 15 minutes and two hours. Microsoft should work on reducing this sync time to improve efficiency."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"I noticed that the VPN aspect is not included in Sophos Mobile."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"There's a need for better protection against hackers trying to access key accounts such as bank accounts."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"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."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
"The main challenge with Trend Micro Mobile Security for iPhone users is the complex setup process due to Apple's stringent security requirements."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"Contact Backup."
"There is a delay issue when receiving emails on mobile compared to a laptop."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful."
"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

"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"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 Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"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 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."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"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"
