Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
Everything has worked better since we started using it
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. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

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…

Straightforward initial setup, it took less than a week to get everybody up and running
We are using the latest version of this solution. My primary use case is for mobile device protection The middleman protection and the WiFi protection are the most valuable features.  General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time so reporting could be improved,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."
"If I assess Intune's user experience, I would say it is perfect and simple."
"Microsoft Intune is easy to use, and it is able to enforce policies towards multiple devices. It is able to bring multiple classes of devices into the same security posture. I found that very useful."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time."
"I recommend Sophos Mobile to medium-sized companies."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"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 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."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"The security aspect could be more effective. We are using other applications to manage network devices and groups, so if Microsoft Intune could improve in this area, especially on a network level, it would be a real advantage."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"One area that could be improved is the compatibility with all mobile platforms, including iOS and Android, especially with the older versions."
"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."
"The technical support for Sophos Mobile requires improvement. I would rate it as five out of ten."
"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 setup should be made easier."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."
"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."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
