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.

"The solution's customer support is good."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."

Cons

"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."

"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"Technical support is not that great."
"I rate Microsoft customer service six out of 10. While some technicians go above and beyond, there is inconsistency, and connecting with the most helpful representatives is occasionally challenging."
"When we implemented Intune, it would have been helpful if Microsoft had provided some videos or data about Intune."
"There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."
"Setting up Intune Autopilot can be a little complicated."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
