We performed a comparison between Sophos Mobile and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"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."
"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."
"They always add more features to this product."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."
"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"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."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"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."
"The technical support could be improved."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
"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."
"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 setup should be made easier."
"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."
"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 technical support could be improved."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
