Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"Easy to use."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively."
"Zero-touch deployment is the most valuable feature because many organizations have employees working from home. This feature allows devices to be configured and ready for use without needing physical handling by IT staff, making it important for remote work environments."
"Jamf Pro allowed us to patch and manage endpoints while collecting log data to help improve operational efficiency."
"We can put certain devices into smart groups based off of device name, department, etc."
"The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service."
"The design of the GUI, as compared to other solutions, really makes a difference."
"It is a great tool. Its ease of use is fantastic. It is very simple, and you don't really have a high learning curve with this."
"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 solution provides us with data protection."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"The security features work well."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"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 add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"The security features should be improved."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The on-going improvements & innovation that Jamf provides over time is something that needs to be maintained, as it is what is needed to fulfill a business & team need at the right time."
"The ability to ask a device to run a policy regularly would be a real advantage."
"I wish there was a profile that could be created for configuring Apple software updates on a global basis for our devices, via a configuration profile."
"The patching can definitely use a little bit of improvement. They should make it a little bit more automated."
"For patch management in Jamf, two Smart Groups are required as patch policies cannot be scoped as of now. This is not a major issue, as there is a great workaround by using a wrapped "member of" duplicate Smart Group. However, being able to avoid two Smart Groups for patch management would be nice."
"Jamf doesn't make the Cloud file system visible so there are rare occasions where the local repository and Cloud repository get out of sync."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
"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."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"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."
"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 product does not work well in iOS."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
