Giridharan G - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."
"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 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."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"Third party integrations are very convenient to use with Microsoft Intune."
"The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
 

Cons

"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"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 product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"One issue that Inutune can improve is password integration with the BitLocker key option. Another issue is assigning licenses. We can assign the licenses for some users on the BPM side, and our BPS users work on Outlook 365 but cannot access it there. A BPS person can go to the company portal and download Outlook 2016. They could improve the NDIS part to assign a license directly to the BPS person that allows them to install the Intune device manager directly on our system."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"Currently, Microsoft Intune's focus is mainly on Windows, but they can make much more improvement in terms of other platforms."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities. Improvements should be made in terms of MDM platforms for other devices."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
 

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."
"I am satisfied with the price of this solution."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."
"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."
"There is an option to make yearly or monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. Price-wise, the product is okay."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
