Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Easy to use."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"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 valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"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 management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The security features work well."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"The Central Management server."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"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."
"The product does not work well in iOS."
"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."
"MacOS X is missing features."
