Featured Reviews

Giridharan G - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Department at Waycool
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.
Sanjay Mukhopadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer
Director - Sales & Operations - India at Intertec Systems
It is a complete and competitive solution with excellent OEM support
Matrix42 is a complete solution in terms of functionality. Still, you need to understand whether it's also capable of managing Kubernetes containers to that extent, and this is not very clear in the product fact sheet. It’s possible with Ivanti MobileIron, though, and Matrix42 seems to be one step behind in this aspect. Likewise, in terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42 to integrate with more third-party tools compared to Ivanti, which has a larger number of integrations due to its size. MobileIron is an older product that has evolved over time, offering advantages in terms of readily available third-party APIs and integrations.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

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 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."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."
"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access."
"This solution saves us a lot of time once it's implemented."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"There are no complaints about the stability. It works one hundred percent of the time."
"I have been using the Enterprise Application Management feature of Microsoft Intune, which enhances abilities when it comes to app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"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 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."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."
"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42."
"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities."
"One thing that could be better in Microsoft Intune is the file size, as it is quite large at times."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"I have not been satisfied with it, and I am planning to change it soon. There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"A feature I would want to see added in Microsoft Intune is the ability to manage other non-Microsoft devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."

"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."
"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."
"I am not sure the price of this solution but I would imagine it is fairly expensive because of the complexity, you would not use it in a small company."
"Matrix42 is more affordable than Ivanti."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"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."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
