    Although
    it is extremely rare, performance issues can arise when we protect data because
    of the rising volume of traffic on our system. The constant version updates
    annoy me a lot. It's difficult to upgrade the clients frequently if you have a
    larger number of clients.

    I recommend it for any corporate scenario of companies that have smartphones, tablets, and computers and want to manage them all by controlling what to install, permission to use applications and services, and easily obtaining a report and inventory of everything. We protect against viruses, spam, and the main cyber threats and also physical security against theft. Data can be erased from the cloud from anywhere, and we prevent data theft. It is compatible with all operating systems, and Sophos technical support is available worldwide.

    Even programmers who build complex code do not experience any
    negative effects from this lightweight agent, which cannot be readily destroyed
    or removed so that devices are always being watched. Additionally, it offers
    deception technologies that other suppliers frequently do not in comparable
    solutions. It has the capacity to proactively quarantine potentially infected
    devices.

    Personally, haven't seen any other MDM on the market, but I feel since Sophos is greatly known to have easy to use products, that the others may not be as easy to use as Sophos Mobile Control. One of the key factors for organizations to choose Sophos Mobile Control and Security is because the Android OS (most attacked OS on the planet) is protected with award-winning antivirus and anti malware from Sophos. We have seen as advisors, how unprotected customers, get huge telecom bills because of the lack of security, since they think that an Android OS is healthy enough... big mistake. One simple thing I always tell friends, family and customers, protect your Android device with Sophos Security (it's free for home users).
