Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it.""The solution is stable and reliable.""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.""Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers.""Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies.""The solution's customer support is good.""The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."

"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data.""Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful.""The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management.""At the moment, Autopilot is the most 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.""If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good.""We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution.""I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."

Cons
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure.""The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper.""User creation on Mac must 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 user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved.""42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert.""The dashboards could be improved."

"Reporting in Microsoft solutions is pathetic. With Intune, I'm getting a free inventory tool, but I don't get a reporting tool. When I go to Intune, I can see one machine's entire data in terms of the hardware and the software running on it, but I cannot generate a report for all the machines in the organization. The reporting is the only feature holding back the functionality that is already there.""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.""I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product.""The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market.""There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas.""Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved.""For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune.""Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
