Intercept X for iOS with Alternate MDM

Hi Jenna Richardson.

You can install the free version of Sophos Intercept X for mobile on IOS if you don't want to use the managed version of Sophos MObile. 

Our understanding is that you cannot use more than one MDM, so we have to choose between Sophos MDM and using Sophos Mobile, or keeping our existing, preferred, MDM. 

If we could use Sophos Mobile but still manage our devices with our existing MDM, we'd like to. Is that possible?

Hi Jenna Richardson, 

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to run 2 MDMs simultaneously. So if you want the protection features of Sophos, you can use the free Sophos Intercept X for Mobile app and the other MDM service. However, you won't get all the protection features in the free app, which are included with the Sophos Mobile MDM service.

Hi Jenna Richardson,

To add more details, you can deploy Intercept X for Mobile through either Sophos Mobile or 3^rd party MDMs. So you'll have the following 2 options: 

• Manage the device with Sophos Mobile and install Intercept X for Mobile – this requires the Mobile Advanced license.
• Manage the device with 3^rd party MDM and deploy Intercept X for Mobile via the 3^rd party MDM – this requires the Central Intercept X for Mobile license
