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.
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"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."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"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."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."
"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution."
"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"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 encounter issues while working with iOS."
"The product does not work well in iOS."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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'd like the customization to be better."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"We'd like more useful support."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
