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 technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"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."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"We were trying to solve many issues, mainly the lack of centralized management. Before Microsoft Intune, we had to manually support devices one by one, installing applications and configuring policies individually. When we implemented the tool, it became much easier to manage our devices. We enroll them in Microsoft Intune and can manage all devices with a few clicks. For application management, it's the same process. If we want to deploy applications to hundreds or thousands of devices, we can do it easily with just a few clicks. This also applies to policies."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The features that stand out for maintaining mobile security are compliance and the ability to install applications and configure work profiles."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"They always add more features to this product."
"Sophos has good customer support, and that is crucial for sustaining business relationships."
"The most significant features of Sophos Mobile include controlling user installations and managing features like the camera, which can be disabled or enabled."
"I recommend Sophos Mobile to medium-sized companies."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"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."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"It could be more secure."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"There is room for improvement in Sophos Mobile's security management for endpoint security."
"I suggest improving the user interface at the admin level. Currently, it could be much better."
"The setup should be made easier."
"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."
"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 features of Sophos Mobile could improve. The way the system works together could be better. Additionally, the integration with other Sophos products could improve."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"The price is very reasonable."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"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."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
