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

"Microsoft Intune not only saves costs by reducing the number of personnel needed but also offers a comprehensive solution for managing laptops, applications, security, individual access, and enrollment."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."
"We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use."
"Sophos Mobile has been rated nine out of ten for security and performance."
"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 most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
"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."
"Sophos Mobile is efficient in threat detection."
"The most significant features of Sophos Mobile include controlling user installations and managing features like the camera, which can be disabled or enabled."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"Parental control"
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"The solution effectively detects virus trends and prevents threats."
"Compared to other products selling in Pakistan, they have superior technical teams and support."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Mobile Security is the security it provides."
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"Customer service has been excellent. Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East."
"It will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
 

Cons

"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"We do not utilize Microsoft customer service and technical support since it is generally a waste of time."
"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"However, with Microsoft, it takes a lot longer, and I’m not getting quick resolutions. Sometimes, I find myself bouncing around between different support groups."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be 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."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"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 is room for improvement in Sophos Mobile's security management for endpoint security."
"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's a need for better protection against hackers trying to access key accounts such as bank accounts."
"The setup should be made easier."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"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."
"They could improve the prices of Trend Micro Mobile Security products, which are quite expensive."
"There is a delay issue when receiving emails on mobile compared to a laptop."
"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 is always room for improvement in security."
"Contact Backup."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"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's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"We have a license that we renew yearly."
"Very cheap in cost"
