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

"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is very scalable, you can do many things at different times and it requires only one staff person for maintenance."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"We created a whole new program that revolves around this solution."
"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."
"This solution saves us a lot of time once it's implemented."
"One of our clients migrated the model workplace based on Intune, achieving a 78 percent cost reduction, which is quite a lot."
"The feature I find most valuable in Microsoft Intune is being able to configure policies and push them directly to mobile phones."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Once it is well integrated with the rest of the environment, it makes everything easy."
"Autopilot is one of the best features because we can use it during remote migration and it especially helps in this pandemic situation where we don't need any end-user computing engineer support."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"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."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Manually syncing devices to enforce policies is cumbersome."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"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 Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"I am satisfied with the price of this solution."
"There is an option to make yearly or monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. Price-wise, the product is okay."
"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."
"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."
"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."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
