We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) and Sophos Mobile based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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.
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"The web portal provides status reporting and ease of configuration."
"The proprietary standards and modules are the most valuable features."
"The product provides a universal dashboard."
"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard."
"The cloud dashboard's analytics data is particularly valuable, giving me insights into user activities and making it easy to track and manage devices."
"It's very easy to just keep adding devices as needed."
"Initial setup was easy."
"The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The security features work well."
"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."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"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."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"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."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough."
"System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved."
"There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better."
"The solution can be expensive."
"The maintenance is average."
"The price could be better."
"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"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."
"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 product does not work well in iOS."
"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 setup should be made easier."
