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

"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"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."
"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"If any user tries to access company data, it directly interacts with the conditional access policy. This helps us protect our data and set the criteria for how data can be accessed and shared."
"Intune is flexible. If you want to move a device that was previously on-prem, we can bring it to the cloud and apply all the policies. This is helpful for even those organizations that were on-prem and not on the cloud. They can also come and use these features, which are pretty cool and would be handy to protect the data and manage the devices as well."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"It is a cloud solution, and you can easily scale as your needs grow."
"It is absolutely a positive investment."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tool works in real-time."
 

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."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"Reporting can be better. Only global administrators can see detailed reports at the moment, and I don't want to use the global admin."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful."
"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."
"The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."
"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 am satisfied with the price of this solution."
"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"The product is expensive."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
