We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly.""The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side.""It has a useful device management feature.""Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature.""This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions.""It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources.""Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge.""It works pretty well for us."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use.""The company provides great customer service.""The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration.""The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage.""The user interface is user-friendly."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM Pros →

"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.""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.""The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization.""The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users.""One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password.""The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices.""The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance.""The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."

More Sophos Mobile Pros →

Cons
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies.""The add-ons must be integrated into the solution.""It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities.""One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that.""Technical support is not that great.""When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application.""China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center.""There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that.""MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices.""UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated.""We would like the initial setup to be simpler.""The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM Cons →

"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile.""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 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.""For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support.""We encounter issues while working with iOS.""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."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
