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.

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"The solution is very scalable, you can do many things at different times and it requires only one staff person for maintenance."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"We created a whole new program that revolves around this solution."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"Microsoft Intune impacts my organization positively by saving significant time via faster onboarding; there is no requirement for manual imaging or setup."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"Microsoft Intune is a must and should be needed for this time, for this hybrid model period, and I highly recommend this product for employees, education institutions, or device management."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"Microsoft Intune's autopilot has been nice to have."
 

Cons

"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."
"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."
"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 dashboards could be improved."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"For autopilot, there should be more granularity on the settings that they offer at this stage."
"I'd like to see an ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"I rate Microsoft support between six to eight. The support often involves third parties hired by Microsoft who are knowledgeable, but sometimes the help I receive is not adequate."
"One area where Microsoft Intune could improve is policy troubleshooting and reporting. Identifying why a device is non-compliant or why a deployment failed can sometimes require longer than expected."
"The solution's app deployment needs to be improved."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"For additional functionality, I suggest that Microsoft could expand on asset management. Since the platform is there, they could develop it into a full-fledged asset management system."
"A major challenge is making all the products work within device management solutions like Intune. It would be beneficial if Microsoft removed support for older products much earlier in the process."
