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.
Giridharan G - PeerSpot reviewer
Used to control mobile devices
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.
Nathan  Piratheepan - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers scalability and ability to create granular policies
It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution.  Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior. I have been using it for five…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is its scalability."
"I appreciate Intune's autopilot feature, which allows us to enroll devices and install applications to meet corporate requirements seamlessly."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"It is a cloud solution, and you can easily scale as your needs grow."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"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."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."
"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."
"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."
"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."
 

Cons

"Back in 2020, there were significant problems with report accuracy, particularly regarding web patching."
"The solution's app deployment needs to be improved."
"The synchronization of devices takes a significant amount of time, between 15 minutes and two hours. Microsoft should work on reducing this sync time to improve efficiency."
"I heard some pain points. The main thing is the learning curve. It took time to implement. It was not the best product starting out of the gate."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."
"I rate Microsoft support between six to eight. The support often involves third parties hired by Microsoft who are knowledgeable, but sometimes the help I receive is not adequate."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."
"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."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."
"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
"The tool's stability could be better."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
"There is an option to make yearly or monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. Price-wise, the product is okay."
"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."
"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."
"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."
"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."
"You will need to purchase licenses for each device."
"Other than the standard licensing fee, there aren't any additional or hidden costs, although I believe Avalanche could be made more affordable in general."
"Although the solution is a bit costly in my opinion, for customers who really need this solution, Ivanti Avalanche is worth it."
"The license is based on assets. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
