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…

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

"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"I appreciate how easy it is to deploy certificates to end users to get control over their device with Microsoft Intune; that's what Microsoft Intune is known for, and that's what we use them for."
"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"Implementing Microsoft Intune has provided a more streamlined and consistent method for device management across our multiple domains, effectively consolidating our administrative efforts."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"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 features that stand out for maintaining mobile security are compliance and the ability to install applications and configure work profiles."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"In terms of valuable features, we liked the lock feature, the roll-out white feature, and the find feature. I think that Sophos had a GPS locator, so you could figure out where the phone was from a GPS location."
"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."
"Sophos has good customer support, and that is crucial for sustaining business relationships."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"If we could remote into a device, it would be great. Currently, we cannot directly connect to the user device. We have to use other tools such as VMware for connecting to devices."
"Sometimes, it takes time to synchronize the policies between the portal and the devices, you don't have a way to estimate how long it will take to deploy. You have some kind of gray area, where it can deploy in 30 minutes or three days."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"The setup should be made easier."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"The technical support for Sophos Mobile requires improvement. I would rate it as five out of ten."
"It could be more secure."
"I suggest improving the user interface at the admin level. Currently, it could be much better."
"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."
"The application might have issues with other software."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing needs improvement."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"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."
