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.

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.

Software Engineer at Romsym Data

Great features with very good function management

Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

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 Intune's ability to push out updates for the security and antivirus. I also like Intune's copilot and the ability to automate processes. For example, if you have 5,000 employees who are issued new PCs and you need to set them up with everything they need."

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."

"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices."

"It works pretty well for us."

"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."

"Microsoft Intune is reliable, scalable, and user-friendly."

"One of our clients migrated the model workplace based on Intune, achieving a 78 percent cost reduction, which is quite a lot."

"Microsoft Intune policies, remote wipe, and using corporate and private profiles are valuable features, but MFA is the most valuable feature as it ensures that the end user is authentic."

More Microsoft Intune pros

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

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

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

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

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The solution's customer support is good."

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

"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."

More 42Gears SureMDM pros

"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."

Cons

"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."

"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."

"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."

"Intune could add more features that are relevant to the core application control functions. For example, it would be helpful if it had more control over the on-prem environment from the cloud platform. Greater Teams availability in the Saudi market would also be helpful."

"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."

"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."

"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."

"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The dashboards could be improved."

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

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

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

"User creation on Mac must be improved."

"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."

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

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

"Lacks a factory reset feature."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."

"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."

"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."

"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."

"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."

"The solution is cost-efficient."

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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