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."Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"It's easy to manage."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"The stability is very good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The patch manager is good, and it's easy to use."
"Its cross-platform capabilities and the ability to do both OS-level patching and third-party patching are valuable. It is difficult to find a software product that will do all that for you out of the box, and you don't have to do any configuration other than your initial setup. Once you do that, there is a very minimalistic approach to getting it operational. You can have it up and running within a 20-minute time span."
"We can scale the product."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Patch Management."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central is stable."
"Page management and ADA integrations are the most valuable features of ManageEngine Endpoint Central."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"The security features work well."
"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 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."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"They always add more features to this product."
"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 is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"The solution is expensive."
"The team should work on improving the stability, particularly with massive patches deployment, clients are not 100% getting patches and the information provided by the system does not help; more detailed report would be very useful."
"The product must provide more API integrations with different ERP tools."
"Compared to the solution we use to manage our Mac products, this solution lacks the ability to create dynamic groups. We would like the ability, for example, for machines which have been upgraded to form part of a grouping based on this upgrade."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"Not many things are needed for improvement, everything seems to be great as it is. One thing that would be good to have would be the ability to add MDM to a tablet running Android 5.0 using the EMM Token Enrollment. If we wanted to add MDM to an older tablet, we just have to go the "long route" to get it added."
"I would like to see them include the ability to find out the network usage but I believe that might be a feature of it already."
"The MDM feature isn't very good. It doesn't support Amazon vendors."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The setup should be made easier."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"It could be more secure."
