We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and Sophos Mobile 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."Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"Jamf Pro is the only product we can use at the moment because they are ahead of their competitors in zero-touch deployment for the end-user. Jamf Pro has a self-service feature that has helped us minimize our support cases. That's a feature the customers like very much."
"It's a scalable product."
"We are able to configure the laptop with the security requirements needed, default applications, and so on without touching it."
"Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices."
"There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS."
"Smart groups and just the way MDM works are valuable. We like all the features that they have. We try to use it as much as possible, and then we have the support and community involvement to reach out to."
"I am most excited about a feature that is called User-Initialed Enrollment."
"We have been able to successfully manage applications and inventory within our machines."
"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 solution is quite user-friendly."
"The security features work well."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"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."
"They always add more features to this product."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"Training should be more accessible and cheaper."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"One feature or improvement that would be awesome is some sort of mobile app from Jamf that can be used to alert admins of custom alerts."
"I would like to see either a report section or an integration with a new reporting module to allow us to pull real metrics from the system easily."
"I would like to see improved integration of some of the additional tools that users create within Jamf itself."
"I wish there was a profile that could be created for configuring Apple software updates on a global basis for our devices, via a configuration profile."
"Jamf Pro currently is only used on Mac computers and could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems. We have to use other tools to manage our Windows and Android devices. There could be other improvements but I am still exploring and learning more about the features."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"The product does not work well in iOS."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
"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."
"The setup should be made easier."
"We encounter issues while working with iOS."
