Mobile Standard is the management side: it handles device management, app deployment, passcode policies, and corporate email and data control. Mobile Advanced includes everything in Standard and adds Intercept X for Mobile threat defense, so you both manage and protect devices from one console. If you only need to protect the devices and not manage them, Mobile Security (Intercept X for Mobile on its own) is the lighter option.

Sophos Mobile is a Unified Endpoint Management solution that manages iPhones and iPads, Android phones and tablets, Chromebooks, Windows computers, and Macs. You manage all of them from a single Sophos Central console, which is why teams with a mixed fleet tend to prefer it over separate tools for each platform.

Sophos Mobile is licensed per user, not per device. One user license covers all of that person's enrolled devices, such as their phone, tablet, and laptop, which keeps pricing simple for people who carry more than one device. Licenses come in user bands and one, two, or three year terms. Tell us your user count and term and we will quote the right band.

Yes. Sophos Mobile is managed through Sophos Central, the same cloud console that runs Intercept X endpoint, server, firewall, and email protection. If you already run Sophos Central, mobile shows up alongside everything else, so you get cross-platform visibility and can feed mobile threat data into Sophos XDR for threat hunting.

It is. Sophos Mobile supports BYOD through the Android Enterprise Work Profile and iOS User Enrollment, which keep corporate email and apps in a separate, encrypted container from the user's personal data. Admins keep control of company content and can remove it without touching personal photos, messages, or apps, so employees keep their privacy.

Yes. With Mobile Standard or Mobile Advanced you can remotely lock a device, wipe it fully, or wipe just the corporate container while leaving personal data alone. You can also enforce passcode rules and run compliance checks that automatically restrict access when a device falls out of policy.

Sophos license and renewal products are delivered by email after purchase, then activated in your Sophos Central account under Licensing. If you have not seen the email or need help activating, contact us and a rep will track down your license and walk you through it. Note that Sophos license and renewal products can only be activated in the United States.

Yes. Intercept X for Mobile is available as a free app on the Apple App Store and Google Play for basic protection, and Sophos offers a free evaluation of the full platform so you can test management and threat defense before you buy. Ask us and we can point you to the current trial.
