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.

Sophos Samsung Plugin is well protected from being uninstalled by the user (can not be unticked from within the device admin menu). Is there a chance to carry this protection over to the SMC client?

I think the current functionality of the reporting is not enough - not so informative, not be able to scheduled. One of partners that are about to start SaaS with SMC is trying to extract data from the SMC database directly. But the schema of the DB is not open to public.
If the reporting interface like Sophos Enterprise Console is provided, user can easily　create his own report as he like.

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.

Add possibility to use exchange 2013 shared mailboxes

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.

Currently Sophos Mobile Control already works with Zarafa Mailservers (Exchange alternative) but is not officially supported. This product is quite widespread an a support would extend our possibilities to promote the solution.

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

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.

Hello there, i think it would great to bring back the Installation of the Android SMC Client direct from the Server. In SMC 5 i can only link to a trusted web Server. For a lot of our customer this is not solution because we have to Setup a second Server or to Setup a webserver on the smc Server what is a dirty solution. Kind Regards

Create a lockdown version of Android by installing a custom launcher, which only shows the apps, the user is allowed to access

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.
