Pros
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing.""It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices.""The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult.""The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices.""One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways.""The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune.""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.""We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."

"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 utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance.""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 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 solution provides us with data protection.""The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."

"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."

More Zimperium Pros →

Cons
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune.""Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices.""The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement.""Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation.""The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me.""The synchronization could be improved.""Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies.""There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support.""We encounter issues while working with iOS.""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.""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.""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.""The product does not work well in iOS.""There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."

More Sophos Mobile Cons →

"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "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 details 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."

    Sophos Mobile is a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and security solution that helps businesses spend less time and effort to manage and secure traditional and mobile endpoints. The only UEM solution that integrates natively with a leading next-gen endpoint security platform, Sophos Mobile supports management of Windows 10, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.

    The Zimperium Mobile Threat Defense platform delivers real-time on-device threat detection and remediation for Android and iOS devices, the networks they connect to, and the apps running on them, with an underlying console and integration to leading MDM/EMM mobility management solutions and SIEM dashboards.
