We performed a comparison between Sophos Mobile and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"The stability is good."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The security features work well."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"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 like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The most valuable features of VMware Workspace ONE are security and having support for all the latest features that are coming out from Apple. They're pretty fast at adopting new features. This is one of the most vital aspects of mobile device management systems."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"We find it to be reliable."
"The contained browser is a good feature."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"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 product does not work well in iOS."
"The setup should be made easier."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved, the initial configuration and setup of the environment could probably be made a little bit easier. There are so many pieces that go into it. Intune is absolutely insane and Sophos is better, but it still is a bit complex to get it all set up correctly."
"To manage the Apple devices is not that straightforward there are a lot of features the other third parties solutions are offering which Sophos Mobile is not."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
"This product makes use of SAML across the board, which has seven known security flaws. It would be good if the company created a way to protect against SAML flaws. One way would be to integrate a firewall server or an endpoint out in the cloud with which you could establish trust. If you knew nothing about SAML and you did some Google searches about what SAML is, what are the flaws, and what are the known vulnerabilities, eventually, you'll find that there are seven flaws. There are two methods that you can use to solve those seven problems. They essentially involve putting a firewall or putting rules, such as access controls, so that anybody in the world can't just come in, authenticate, and either be a good guy or be someone trying to knock on my door and get into my house. If I could eliminate that, it would be awesome."
"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"The console comes bunched together as a package and inbuilt. Its called Workspace ONE. Whenever we have an issue, we contact the service provider, and instead of a fix, we are just getting the next version of Workspace ONE."
