We performed a comparison between Sophos Mobile and Trend Micro Mobile Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)."With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"It is a stable solution."
"Intune's most valuable features are the device, compliance, and configuration policies."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"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."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"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 most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"The security features work well."
"This solution is able to protect the data, files, and folders that have been hijack or encrypted."
"It will reduce the vulnerability level for safe browsing."
"Their ransomware protection is useful."
"The solution offers a lot of custom features."
"Customer service has been excellent. Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East."
"Setting up the product is not too difficult."
"Parental control"
"The Android protection, it’s faster."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"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."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"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."
"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 encounter issues while working with iOS."
"The setup should be made easier."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"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 iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone."
"Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful."
"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware."
"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."
"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."
"Contact Backup."
"There is always room for improvement in security."
"There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow."
