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

"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"Microsoft Intune saves eight hours per day, and during my work hours, I use my time to study and run tests on configurations I'm curious about and try them out in my environment."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"Microsoft Intune does a great job of helping protect our environment."
"The most significant features of Sophos Mobile include controlling user installations and managing features like the camera, which can be disabled or enabled."
"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 most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
"The features that stand out for maintaining mobile security are compliance and the ability to install applications and configure work profiles."
"Sophos has good customer support, and that is crucial for sustaining business relationships."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"I recommend Sophos Mobile to medium-sized companies."
"Sophos Mobile has been rated nine out of ten for security and performance."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."
"The interface is not as modern as some competitors in terms of single pane of glass visibility across the entire landscape. It has a very Azure vibe and may not be as graphically appealing as other products."
"To make it a perfect ten, it would be helpful if there was a better way to troubleshoot user issues, as I've had a few users with corrupt files before and had to redeploy it without knowing the root cause."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
"The technical support for Sophos Mobile requires improvement. I would rate it as five out of ten."
"I suggest improving the user interface at the admin level. Currently, it could be much better."
"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."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"One area that could be improved is the compatibility with all mobile platforms, including iOS and Android, especially with the older versions."
"The application might have issues with other software."
"It could be more secure."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."
"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."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
