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

"Their support is mind-blowing."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"The mobile device management is very useful."
"The best features in Microsoft Intune include secure authentication, which I find very favorable, and the fact that we can remotely push applications."
"Using Azure and Intune has helped us resolve most of these issues, as we no longer need a physical infrastructure to manage systems and can push policies remotely while maintaining control over the devices."
"It significantly reduces the overhead associated with providing support."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home."
 

Cons

"The dashboards could be improved."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"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 user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities. Improvements should be made in terms of MDM platforms for other devices."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite."
"There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
"The technical support could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."

"I am satisfied with the price of this solution."
"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."

"It is reasonable for the features it has."
