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

"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"The automatic patching is the most valuable feature of Intune."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"Sophos has good customer support, and that is crucial for sustaining business relationships."
"The features that stand out for maintaining mobile security are compliance and the ability to install applications and configure work profiles."
"Sophos Mobile offers several valuable features, such as device tracking, allowing me to know where a device is located."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The security features work well."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"Sophos Mobile is efficient in threat detection."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"Intune could be improved by organizing different solutions, like Defender and Sentinel, into a single package. This would allow us to focus on security while Microsoft manages other areas. Having a unified solution would drive better management of various sectors. Although the Intune user experience is good, we should continue enhancing it."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device."
"In Microsoft Intune, there is significant slowness, and there needs to be more logs when we deploy software, parameters, or scripts to troubleshoot problems and errors in the interface, workstations, and Android devices."
"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."
"Reporting can be better. Only global administrators can see detailed reports at the moment, and I don't want to use the global admin."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The granular support for other device types in Microsoft Intune could be improved."
"It could be more secure."
"The technical support for Sophos Mobile requires improvement. I would rate it as five out of ten."
"The product does not work well in iOS."
"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."
"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 area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"The application might have issues with other software."
"There is room for improvement in Sophos Mobile's security management for endpoint security."
"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."
"I am not that aware of the pricing, but as compared to other MDM solutions, Microsoft is providing a lot of things at the organizational level. So, it is quite reasonable as compared to other MDM solutions."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"It is not expensive."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"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."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
