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.

"Sophos Mobile offers features like cash mode and safe mode, and allows for central management, which I find effective for device security, though it depends on the clients' needs and the types of mobile devices used."

Cons

"There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"You can have a bad day where 80% of the enrollments failed. The next day it's running with the same devices without any changes, and you don't know why."

"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."
"They could improve the prices of Trend Micro Mobile Security products, which are quite expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The main challenge with Trend Micro Mobile Security for iPhone users is the complex setup process due to Apple's stringent security requirements."
"There is a delay issue when receiving emails on mobile compared to a laptop."
"Contact Backup."
"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"The product is expensive."
"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 cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"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."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"Very cheap in cost"
"We have a license that we renew yearly."
