"The tool's most valuable feature is remote access."
"The flexibility in their management is great."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"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 remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"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 solution must be more user-friendly."
"The product's price is an area where improvements are required."
"The support team of the product needs improvement. Sometimes we have issues with multiple authentications, but there is no help from the support team."
"This solution normally works but at times, we have had trouble with connectivity."
"User experience and after-sales support could be better. For example, over the last couple of years, when this COVID scenario was going on, there were multiple attacks on these types of solutions. SQL has been attacked numerous times, and there were a lot of vulnerabilities, and our customers had to update and upgrade the devices every two weeks or every month. This was a headache. It could also be more scalable."
"Ivanti Connect Secure needs to have faster connections. It also needs to improve the stability."
"Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it."
"We want to switch to another solution because there are some challenges with the support from Pulse. The quality of documentation is also not good. It is sometimes very hard to find documentation that provides a solution and describes how all this works."
"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."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"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."
"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."
"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 setup should be made easier."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
