We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console.""The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies.""The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies.""Stable solution at a good price.""...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard.""It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network.""The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."

"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.""They always add more features to this product.""The solution provides us with data protection.""I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment.""The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices.""The security features work well.""The solution is quite user-friendly.""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 Central Management server."

More WinMagic SecureDoc Pros →

Cons
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices.""It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies.""Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated.""The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type.""Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions.""The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune.""There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough.""There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

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

"MacOS X is missing features."

Microsoft Intune makes it possible for your team members to work anywhere using their mobile devices. Microsoft Intune provides both the flexibility and the control needed for securing all your data on the cloud, no matter where the device with the data is located.

    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.

    SecureDoc is used by some of the world's largest organizations. By simplifying data security we can help save time and reduce costs associated with security management. At the end of the day, we make data security easy.
