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.

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.
Jijin Joseph - PeerSpot reviewer
An MDM solution for controlling and restricting data on devices
Everyone is using high-end devices, such as mobile devices. If they lose their devices, how about the data copied to other devices? Once the device is lost, you can remotely delete all of the data and block the device, preventing anyone from using or reusing it. This will keep your devices secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is patching-related capabilities."
"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Microsoft Intune to organizations looking for management of a large number of devices and enterprise environments."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"The core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates."
"The ability to work from all over the planet is valuable. You just need a functioning and working Internet connection."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"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."
"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."
"Scalefusion is easy to use, and they have a broad knowledge base, so you can quickly find answers if you're unsure how to do something. The articles on the knowledge base are well-written, with clear steps on what to do for a specific scenario. That part is well documented."
 

Cons

"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."
"There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"Its integration with Mac and Linux devices can be better. They should provide more features similar to Windows. We should be able to manage policies within Linux and Mac machines. If we can have more granular controls for these two operating systems, it will be really helpful."
"Intune's areas for improvement revolve around security and certificate management."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The dashboards could 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 product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"One area for improvement could be streamlining permissions during initial device setup, especially for corporate-owned devices, to reduce manual user interaction and expedite deployment."
"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button. Currently, we have to sift through different groups to block a device. It would be nice if Scalefusion allowed me to block without moving the device to a different profile. Another helpful feature they could add is the ability to migrate from one MDM to another. I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"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."
"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."
