We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Endpoint Central and Sophos Mobile based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"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 detail 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."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine Endpoint Central is the central management console. Additionally, inventory tracking is helpful for knowing where our assets are."
"We use the product to know about our assets and manage remote support."
"Identification of gaps and filling the gaps with updates are most valuable. We are able to identify known updates or missing updates and then update."
"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management capabilities, especially for third-party applications, along with quick and easy configuration and deployment processes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Patch Management."
"The reporting tool is very good."
"Has good functionality and is user-friendly."
"Desktop Central has improved these organizations and this is why it has been repeated multiple times at multiple organizations. If something works and is getting better it is worth repeating."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The security features work well."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"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 management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"There are occasional glitches."
"The team I've currently got is not using it particularly well, due to the fact that they don't know how to use it particularly well. They've not done any training and so on."
"The product must provide more API integrations with different ERP tools."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central is very limited. When you scan your system, it will only recognize Microsoft Windows Defender and BitLocker."
"The MDM feature isn't very good. It doesn't support Amazon vendors."
"Documentation could improve so we don't need to create the support requests first."
"We are looking for a complete solution for patch management with central management and the cloud which ManageEngine Endpoint Central does not provide."
"In relation to ManageEngine Endpoint Central, ManageEngine NGAV seems to be completely useless right now."
"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."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"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."
"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."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"It could be more secure."
"The product does not work well in 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."
