Find out in this report how the two Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"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."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"It works pretty well for us."
"The security features work well."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"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."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."
"It has good stability."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"The synchronization could be improved."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"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."
"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."
"The setup should be made easier."
"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."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"The product's stability for certain instances needs improvement."
"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Pricing is the only challenge right now. The licensing fee should be simplified a little bit. They have kept too many products as add ons. These need to be bundled with the low-cost, standard version. This will help customers in adopting this technology at a faster pace."
