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…

Positive experience with strong features but there is potential for better pricing and tracking capabilities
The product name is REV (R for Romeo, E for Echo, V for Victor) BITS. Trend Micro Mobile Security DLP is not as strong as actual DLP solutions such as Forcepoint. When we pitch DLP to our clients, we usually recommend Forcepoint. However, if someone wants a DLP feature rather than a complete DLP solution, we can provide it through Trend Micro Mobile Security. The technical support is quite good because Trend Micro Mobile Security has their own team in Pakistan. The distributors have their own teams and they help partners develop technical skills. We have three layers of technical support. They offer direct support from Trend Micro Mobile Security at some cost if you want an SLA with them. They respond quickly and you can sign an SLA to monitor their SOC 24/7 for Trend Micro Mobile Security products. Compared to other products selling in Pakistan, they have superior technical teams and support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability."
"Autopilot is a feature I really like."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the central dashboard for compliance and policy management."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"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."
"Deploying the solution is very simple and can be done in less than one hour."
"I recommend Sophos Mobile to medium-sized companies."
"They always add more features to this product."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"The solution effectively detects virus trends and prevents threats."
"It will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Mobile Security is the security it provides."
"Compared to other products selling in Pakistan, they have superior technical teams and support."
 

Cons

"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"A major challenge is making all the products work within device management solutions like Intune. It would be beneficial if Microsoft removed support for older products much earlier in the process."
"Technical support is not that great."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"The support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"The technical support for Sophos Mobile requires improvement. I would rate it as five out of ten."
"There is room for improvement in Sophos Mobile's security management for endpoint security."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"I noticed that the VPN aspect is not included in Sophos Mobile."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"The application might have issues with other software."
"The setup should be made easier."
"One area that could be improved is the compatibility with all mobile platforms, including iOS and Android, especially with the older versions."
"They could improve the prices of Trend Micro Mobile Security products, which are quite expensive."
"Contact Backup."
"There is a delay issue when receiving emails on mobile compared to a laptop."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful."
"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware."
"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"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."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"Very cheap in cost"
"Each license costs about $10/year. It's fairly inexpensive because it's a new product. In Pakistan, no more than two or three companies can apply for mobile protection right now. I don't know if there are ancillary costs above the standard licensing fee."
"We have a license that we renew yearly."
