Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"They always add more features to this product."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"The security features work well."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
"The setup should be made easier."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
