Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment.""The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature.""Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access.""I like that we can implement conditional access.""While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."

It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies.""The solution is stable and reliable.""Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers.""The solution's customer support is good.""The tool's most valuable feature is a remote connection to the devices.

Cons
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android.""We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks.""Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation.""I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows.""In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken.""There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune.""I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune.""Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

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

More 42Gears SureMDM Cons →

"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us.""They need to allocate more energy in terms of their offering to devices that are not Apple devices.""The maintenance is average.""The price of the solution could be reduced.""Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions.""Cisco's authorized scripting can be complicated. For example, we sometimes enter the wrong code using this script, and then we had to dictate to find the problem.""The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost.""Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution."

    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."

    SureMDM is an intuitive and powerful enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution for Android, iOS, and Windows platforms. You can secure, monitor and manage company owned devices for dedicated use as well as employee owned devices used to access company data (BYOD). SureMDM incorporates all aspects of EMM such as Mobile Application Management, Mobile Device Management and Mobile Content Management.

    Every user is unique. Every device, a bit different. Systems Manager keeps the network in the loop about constantly changing devices, automatically tracking device posture and adjusting security policies to match.
