We performed a comparison between 42Gears SureMDM and Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"It's really easy to access."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"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."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer."
"We use this solution for MDM."
"The most valuable features include remote inventory analysis, security features like geofencing, and software distribution."
"It's robust, and we like the device availability, ease of purchase, and supplier stock availability."
"We can reconfigure a client’s setup remotely with minimal effort."
"The best features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager include its simplicity and ease of use. It is straightforward to set up and manage devices compared to other products."
"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) are its ability to do geofencing for devices, manage thousands of devices with only a push of a button, and quick application deployment in seconds. It's amazing. For example, in an education scenario, you can deploy an application update for thousands of iPads in two clicks."
"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."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"User creation on Mac must 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."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"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."
"System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved."
"It would be beneficial to have better integration with other OS."
"Integration with other tools, such as, ConnectWise Automate."
"The maintenance is average."
"The tool's pricing needs to be more flexible like Cisco's."
"We've really only experimented with their iOS client. This is due to the fact that their Windows client has a lot to be desired. We first tried experimenting with the Windows one but very quickly determined that it wasn't going to cut it for most Windows cases. The Windows portion of this product needs improvement. I'd say that it's not really viable."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"One area for improvement in Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is the ability for more advanced users to make detailed and non-standard changes."
