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.

Modern endpoint management has transformed onboarding and strengthened remote security controls
The features of Microsoft Intune are straightforward, including Windows Autopilot, zero-touch deployment, centralized device management, and conditional access security controls. Using zero-touch deployment and Windows Autopilot in Microsoft Intune has significantly improved my workflow and organization. New laptops are shipped directly to users with no IT handling needed, and there is no manual imaging or configuration required. These features have a real impact. They save hours of manual setup per device, reduce dependency on the IT team for basic provisioning, and ensure every system is configured consistently and securely. Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization by improving device management. Devices are managed from a single cloud console. It has reduced manual work for provisioning and configuration. It has faster onboarding using Autopilot. It has enhanced security posture through enforced compliance policies, encryption, antivirus, and password rules. Conditional access ensures only trusted devices can access resources. I have better support for remote users, as devices can be managed from anywhere with no dependency on office network or VPN for basic management. It has easy troubleshooting and policy updates.

Cons

"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."
"Intune is a good product for UEM, which is helpful for Windows 10 management. However, for MAM, there is lots of improvement needed."

"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
