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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"The ability to deploy patches and automate software deployments to end-user devices is very useful."
"The best features of Microsoft Intune include helping to know if computers are configured correctly and if users have access to apps or the platform."
"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."
"I like Intune's ability to manage roles, maintenance tasks, compliance settings, and patch development for all endpoints."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
 

Cons

"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"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."
"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"Microsoft Intune could improve in reporting data for endpoints and fleets. Enhanced capabilities to run queries and gather specific device data to identify trends or issues would be beneficial. The feature parity for MacOS and handling devices from an MDM perspective is not comprehensive. Consolidation of these functionalities within Intune would simplify processes and finances."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an option to make yearly or monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. Price-wise, the product is okay."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
