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.

Enhancing security with strong policy management and an easy setup
We are working with Sophos and other products like Managed Engine, focusing on enterprise management and mobile device management solutions. We primarily use Sophos for server or endpoints. We have integrated it as a same solution We have no specific threats in mobile because we are working as…

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

"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."
"What I like the most about Microsoft Intune is its ability to manage mobile devices. Through integration with System Center, it can also manage desktops and laptops."
"We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use."
"The navigation, the keys, and the settings are easy to find. It is easy to understand."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"Deploying the solution is very simple and can be done in less than one hour."
"The most significant features of Sophos Mobile include controlling user installations and managing features like the camera, which can be disabled or enabled."
"Sophos Mobile has been rated nine out of ten for security and performance."
"Sophos has good customer support, and that is crucial for sustaining business relationships."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Intune endpoint analytics can be challenging."
"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."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"We are facing issues with Apple products. With macOS and iOS, there are some difficulties with the updates because we cannot get full control of Apple products. In the case of Windows, it is fine, but in the case of Apple, we have some difficulties. We cannot control everything through Intune."
"Possibly, in future releases, it could be more enhanced."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"In terms of what could be improved, the initial configuration and setup of the environment could probably be made a little bit easier. There are so many pieces that go into it. Intune is absolutely insane and Sophos is better, but it still is a bit complex to get it all set up correctly."
"It could be more secure."
"The product does not work well in iOS."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"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 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."
"To manage the Apple devices is not that straightforward there are a lot of features the other third parties solutions are offering which Sophos Mobile is not."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"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."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
