We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%.""Easy to use.""There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers.""The solution is easy to use and it has good performance.""The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities.""Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful.""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.""The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"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.""I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment.""The security features work well.""The solution is quite user-friendly.""The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance.""The initial setup process is straightforward and fast.""The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."

More Sophos Mobile Pros →

"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."

More Zimperium Pros →

Cons
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies.""The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products.""They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft.""Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement.""The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite.""It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar.""For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune.""We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"The setup should be made easier.""The product does not work well in iOS.""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.""It could be more secure.""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.""There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile.""The features of Sophos Mobile could improve. The way the system works together could be better. Additionally, the integration with other Sophos products could improve.""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."

More Sophos Mobile Cons →

"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."

More Zimperium Cons →

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

    Sophos Mobile is a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and security solution that helps businesses spend less time and effort to manage and secure traditional and mobile endpoints. The only UEM solution that integrates natively with a leading next-gen endpoint security platform, Sophos Mobile supports management of Windows 10, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.

    The Zimperium Mobile Threat Defense platform delivers real-time on-device threat detection and remediation for Android and iOS devices, the networks they connect to, and the apps running on them, with an underlying console and integration to leading MDM/EMM mobility management solutions and SIEM dashboards.
