Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Remote Wipe is one of the vital options everybody looks for in 42Gears SureMDM or any MDM product. We are trying to get the latest product updates as much as possible, and it is mostly automated. Two to three engineers are involved in the solution’s maintenance. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Review about BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite

For the purpose of better performance is we have some applications, internal applications, that work on document but when we did integration with BlackBerry Edit from BlackBerry Enterprise, yeah. I think that we failed. We failed on that integration. We cannot integrate that BlackBerry Edit. BlackBerry Edit has issues for editing any document. We have other internal applications that can bring or field documents but cannot edit into BlackBerry Edit. There's room for improvement with editing documents. When I was the [inaudible 00:09:48] for BlackBerry Enterprise, maybe they need to create... I'm so sorry. Because for month or once on a month, I need to delete database or some database logs from BlackBerry that use much [crosstalk 00:10:09]- I think the database slow because the BlackBerry Enterprise, it have database that put inside SQL Server, so every month I need to check the hard disk if it is sufficient to handle the database files or not. Every month, I need to check hard disk, so if it's not sufficient or it's already full, I need to delete some logs. I think on the UEM server, they can keep the database or hard disk performance, like approval. So from the UEM server, we can delete any file that is not used anymore. Yeah, something like that, I think.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time."

"Microsoft Intune does help me save time in terms of management of various devices—I don't have to go to those locations to manage the devices at those locations, I can do it remotely, which is very helpful."

"The features of Microsoft Intune that I appreciate the most are its user-friendly interface and robust security options."

"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."

"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."

"Advanced endpoint analytics provides granular information about devices in Microsoft Intune, facilitating easier troubleshooting at system and application levels."

"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."

"The best feature of Microsoft Intune is that it managed the endpoints."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."

"The solution's customer support is good."

"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."

"The tool's most valuable feature is a remote connection to the devices. You can also push and lock applications. It helps us lock devices for professional use to control which applications can be installed."

"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."

"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."

"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."

More 42Gears SureMDM pros

"The technical support for the solution is excellent."

"The most important features would be instant messaging and the security that we get from the containerization."

"Security is the most valuable feature, because we are a financial institution. We have a large number of clients and we have to make sure all communications are secure and PCI compliant."

"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."

"It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle."

"The most important feature is Blackberry Work, for sure, because that is where you have email."

"We are able to separate personal information and in the event of e breach, we are able to turn off access and/or delete this information."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

Cons

"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."

"The pricing could be improved."

"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."

"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."

"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."

"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."

"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."

"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."

"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."

"As a partner, we consider 42Gears to be a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution. So, we should be able to manage users with this particular solution. This is something that is currently not there. It is probably an area for improvement for 42Gears."

"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."

"The dashboards could be improved."

"User creation on Mac must be improved."

"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."

"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."

"What we don't have at the moment is RDP from the device to some kind of PC. Another feature would be access to a delegate's mailbox and I think that is to come in one of the next releases. There have been a lot of requests for that type of feature where, for example, a secretary can access the mailbox of the boss."

"It would be ideal if there was something for communication with Microsoft tools like Teams or Skype for Business, or perhaps even with Zoom for conference calls."

"The interface could be improved."

"The entry level support needs improvement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that we do not have premium support. Therefore, we have to go through Level 1 support for any issues."

"I would like more support for Google Chromebook operating system, so I could manage it."

"The initial installation could be simplified."

"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."

"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."

"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."

"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."

"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."

"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."

"The tool is expensive and priced at 39 dollars yearly. The pricing is fixed and I would rate it a seven-point five out of ten."

"I am satisfied with the price of this solution."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."

"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."

"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."

"There is an option to make yearly or monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. Price-wise, the product is okay."

"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."

"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."

"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."

"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."

"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."

"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."

"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."

"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."
