In order have Secure Mobile Connection to the company (permanent/automatically or just on demand or simply per App VPN). A Sophos owned VPN Client, integrated in Sophos Mobile App or even standalone VPN App would be needed. The VPN should at least work together with XG Firewall/UTM Remote VPN.

From customer:

"What I would like in my report is something that I can use to see details of our assets, so we can upload details into our Asset management software.

I would like to have the following in the report along with what is already in the report: IMEI, Reported phonenumber, SIMCarrierNetwork, Model

If possible, take out the following: GroupName, RegistrationDate, LastNativeSyncDate, Managed, Compliant, Ownership.

ability to have the device to check in with their locations on interval times and track the location. so there is a location report or history of the device has been.

As requested by some working councils in Germany, SMC EAS Proxy can be used to block e-mail delivery after the working hours. Sample: E-Mail to mobile devices will just be send 7am-7pm. After 7pm mail delivery will be stopped via EAS Proxy. The profile remains, no mail will be deleted

Instead of whitelisting/blacklisting specific apps, why not be able to allow/block certain categories of apps instead? So that you are able to block games but allow productivity apps. Trojanized and malicious apps could be blacklisted as default.

When a device gets non-compliant today we have the chance to send a "lockdown" profile. Could be useful if it is compliant again to have the possibility to have an automatic remediation that delete the "lockdown" profile.

I have a number of customers asking for a widget in SMC 5.0 for Sophos Mobile Security. Would it be possible to view things like viruses detected, PUA's blocked etc for those Android devices that have Mobile Security installed?

Failing that could there be an option to have it as a report template perhaps?

In the compliance rules, mandatory apps can be enforced. But unfortunately, this does not work, if the admin wants to enforce a certain minimum version. User often ignore to update their apps, which can cause problems in operation of a large device fleet.

Like Gmail, when an user changed his Windows Password, have a notification to explain there is a synchonization problem.
Invite the user to change his password instead of go to his mails accounts.

Please add the ability to whitelist or create an empty blacklist for natively installed apps when enrolled under Device Owner mode for Androd for Work / Enterprise devices? Other MDM's have this functionality and it would prove VERY useful to have this feature

Allow the admin to configure the home screen layout on iOS devices

In Sophos Mobile 8.6 its is possible to update IOS apps automatically devices. As noted in the feature request

https://ideas.sophos.com/forums/143212-sophos-mobile/suggestions/34599766-automatic-update-for-apps-ios

We would like to be able to do this in Android.

Getting 100s of users to upgrade apps is really difficult.

We would really appreciate all your votes.

Currently, all Android Enterprise approved apps are available to all devices managed by SMC(both in managed Google Domain or Play store mode). Please combine the apps into groups, which will be assigned to devices and device group. Or assign the apps to the device groups directly.
As a result, each user group sees only the relevant apps for them.

Can you please rethink about supporting "Apple School Manager". This is an Issue for schools: we cannot address Sophos Mobile without this feature. Usually a school gets up to 500 iPads that will be used by kids.

It would be great if you could distribute several Exchange accounts via MDM to iOS devices, because then the private / business seperation would be given for these additional accounts (without Secure eMail).
Are there plans for that? Or is there iOS restrictions here?
Thank you.

Please add the functionality to set the background picture or logo on Android devices, This is possible with Android Enterprise
With this option, companies can kind of brand their devices.

"Work profiles on fully managed devices" - Dieses Kombination ist ja seit Android 8 möglich. Es wäre dringend nötig, dass Sophos Mobile dies auch unterstützt. Wann kann man damit rechnen?

"Work profiles on fully managed devices" - This combination is possible since Android 8. It is urgent that Sophos Mobile support this. When can you expect it?

User disables GPS or location completley on device. Device is lost or stolen, admin or user wants to locate it. If the client is capable of turning it GPS on (with SAFE) - turn it on, get the location and turn it off.
