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

"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"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."
"Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"The most effective features for device security are the policy and management capabilities."
"I recommend Sophos Mobile to medium-sized companies."
"Sophos Mobile offers several valuable features, such as device tracking, allowing me to know where a device is located."
"The security features work well."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"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."
"We can easily manage the devices because it's already in the cloud. For example, if any phone that belongs to the company is lost, we can easily erase the data."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"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."
"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."
"I noticed that the VPN aspect is not included in Sophos Mobile. To acquire a VPN for mobile, I have to subscribe to Sophos endpoint, which only works on computers."
"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 application might have issues with other software."
"The area for improvement in Sophos Mobile is troubleshooting."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"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

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"Pricing can be improved."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
