Support for windows 8 phones very poor

Gemschag

Hello,

Why is almost every feature of controlling windows phone 8 impossible with Sophos Mobile control?

Is there any news of these features getting support in newer versions of sophos mdm? Because I think a lot of companies will want to start using windows phone 8 because of their IT landscapes already being Microsoft for a huge part. I now have to either start looking for a new mdm solution or stop my company from wanting to use Windows Phones.

    Hi Gemschag,

    Sophos Mobile Control currently offers support for Windows Phone 8. Gived the limited MDM interface of this version, we can only handle the following settings:

    • passcode rules
    • restrictions (2)
    • Exchange configuration
    • root certificaed

    All those settings also work for Windows Phone 8.1.

    In addition to the features mentioned above, the upcoming SMC 5.0 release will support:

    • More restrictions (20+)
    • Wi-Fi configuration
    • roaming control
    • Device lock/unlock
    • command push via push message
