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 for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management.""Easy to use.""The stability of Microsoft Intune is good.""It works pretty well for us.""Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features.""We have found the solution is capable of scaling.""The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost.""I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."

"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers.""The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The solution's customer support is good.""Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies.""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 is stable and reliable.""This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."

More 42Gears SureMDM Pros →

"You can scale the solution up or down by department.""The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes.""A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy.""Integration between our departments has been the most valuable.""The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization.""The solution is scalable."

Cons
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities.""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.""There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS.""It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features.""We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script.""We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management.""One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy.""The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert.""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.""User creation on Mac must be improved.""The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper.""The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved.""The dashboards could be improved."

More 42Gears SureMDM Cons →

"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive.""Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit.""The MDM part of the engine could be better.""The licensing is quite expensive.""The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present.""There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required.""We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate.""Its performance needs enhancement."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

    SureMDM is an intuitive and powerful enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution for Android, iOS, and Windows platforms. You can secure, monitor and manage company owned devices for dedicated use as well as employee owned devices used to access company data (BYOD). SureMDM incorporates all aspects of EMM such as Mobile Application Management, Mobile Device Management and Mobile Content Management.

    Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) is the only comprehensive solution designed to help manage and protect users, devices, apps, and data in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.
