Sophos Mobile Control

Fully-featured MDM that saves you time and money

You can deploy Sophos Mobile Control in two ways:

Software for installation on your premises

If you have a larger numbers of users and want to keep all your data in-house on your own server, this is the ideal version for you. You can also manage access to your corporate email.

  • Recommended for large installations
  • Fully integrated into your IT environment
  • Installed on your premises, so all your data stays in-house
  • EAS proxy for control over email access; allows you to block non-compliant devices

Software as a Service hosted by Sophos

No hardware necessary, no installation onsite. Our Software as a Service (SaaS) version is the ideal choice if you have restricted IT resources to install and maintain a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. Your admin manages device administration via the web console. Get groups of users up and running in no time. Leave the rest up to us.

  • Ideal if your organization has limited resources and expertise
  • No change to your IT (except for LDAP), so you're up and running in minutes
  • No installation, allowing you to concentrate on managing your devices and policies
  • Simply use a web browser for all administrative tasks
  • Makes MDM simple and quick to deploy
