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.

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

"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"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."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune is best for Windows devices and security in Office 365 and Microsoft-related enterprise environments. It's a nice platform for endpoint management."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"What I appreciate the most about Microsoft Intune is that it's quick and easy to use from an authenticator perspective. There is simplicity in securing our platform. Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration."
"Microsoft Intune not only saves costs by reducing the number of personnel needed but also offers a comprehensive solution for managing laptops, applications, security, individual access, and enrollment."
"It helps us manage user certificates."
"It is very easy for me to configure all the things. Once I create policies and applications in Intune, it is very easy for us to enroll users."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
 

Cons

"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could 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."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."
"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."
"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"Back in 2020, there were significant problems with report accuracy, particularly regarding web patching."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"Each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four 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."
"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 am satisfied with the price of this solution."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."
"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."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
