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.

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."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Microsoft Intune to organizations looking for management of a large number of devices and enterprise environments."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"Microsoft Intune does help me save time in terms of management of various devices—I don't have to go to those locations to manage the devices at those locations, I can do it remotely, which is very helpful."
"The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."
"The main benefit for us with Microsoft Intune is centralized management of all devices, allowing us to apply one policy across the company from one location."
"My favorite feature of Microsoft Intune is the dashboard; the dashboard is very simple and user-friendly, and any person, even without prior knowledge, can understand it easily by seeing the interface dashboard."
 

Cons

"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"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."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"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 Mac integration has room for improvement."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"The only issues I have had with Microsoft Intune were with applications where if they are not an MSI file, I cannot really upload it as an application."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
