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 ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"It is absolutely a positive investment."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"Within Intune, managing policies and having a consistent way to manage devices is valuable."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"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."
"Sophos has good customer support, and that is crucial for sustaining business relationships."
"Deploying the solution is very simple and can be done in less than one hour."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"I recommend Sophos Mobile to medium-sized companies."
"The features that stand out for maintaining mobile security are compliance and the ability to install applications and configure work profiles."
"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."
"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."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"The technical support for Sophos Mobile requires improvement. I would rate it as five out of ten."
"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."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
"One area that could be improved is the compatibility with all mobile platforms, including iOS and Android, especially with the older versions."
"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

"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"The product is expensive."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
