Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."

More McAfee MVISION Mobile Pros →

"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use.""The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks.""I like the support most of all.""With Sophos, I only need to generate the password and give that to a user to be able to allow them to login to the admin page of the Endpoint and do whatever they need to do. The user cannot go ahead and uninstall it. It's kept us much more secure because of this. Should any event happen on a particular system, I'm given the username and the system IP address. I get notifications and can deal with issues right away.""Policy deployment is easy and quick to do.""I like its ease of use the most. The management console is really nice. I like having one pane of glass that does everything. It does the Sophos anti-virus and encryption. Everything that you need is in one place. It is easy to use, and it is also pretty fast. It provides some pretty good details, and it lets you know who has access to a file. You can also add additional people to the encrypted documents, which is pretty good. Its stability and performance are also very good.""It's easy to use. You have to pay extra for additional, but the basic product is fantastic. It will be a good solution for you, depending on your requirements.""The product is easy to use."

Cons
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."

More McAfee MVISION Mobile Cons →

"The dashboards lack sufficient information.""The security does not have 100% authentication.""It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent.""SafeGuard's user interface is ugly and doesn't provide reports, so we have to go into the database and get information from there by creating queries.""I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products.""There are times that this solution takes up too much memory that needs to be resolved. If it is not fixed it will definitely create issues in the future.""The lack of need for the patch for an extra password is a shortcoming. It will be a great improvement if the patch requires an extra password so that they can find out how to synchronize your Windows password with the same password for Sophos SafeGuard.""The solution lacks direct connectivity to Azure AD."
