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.

Consistently manages a large number of devices without downtime and offers quality support
In terms of areas where they could improve, if they provided solutions for every OEM, similar to what every other MDM platform is doing, that would be beneficial. For example, products such as InTune and MobileIron have no limitations. They support both iOS devices and Android devices. However, Samsung Knox specifically targets Samsung devices only. If they develop a solution that supports everything, along with the selling of devices and the product, they could achieve more business. Samsung Knox does not require any maintenance on my end.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is quite good because there's not much disturbance in the background; it's just running in the background."
"Microsoft Intune helps us avoid issuing everyone company-owned devices. We provide a stipend, allowing users to bring their own devices. This approach gives us leverage against other MSPs. It also enhances collaboration because clients already covered by specific licensing can optimize their usage of Microsoft Intune."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"It is absolutely a positive investment."
"What I appreciate the most about Microsoft Intune is that it's quick and easy to use from an authenticator perspective. There is simplicity in securing our platform. Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"One portal for all the features and the remote support capability in Samsung Knox is highly valued. The enterprise editions and the free Knox Suite licenses for one year are also beneficial."
"Samsung Knox has very seamless integration capabilities for deployment; we easily upload devices through the KME, Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment."
"Based on my experience and understanding, Samsung Knox is quite good, user-friendly, and top-notch."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
"Samsung Knox has good support for data protection, especially when using devices for profile installations, firmware updates, or configuration suites, as they are all data protected with a double layer of protection using our own MDM server alongside Samsung Knox services."
"Samsung Knox functions as a UEM (User Endpoint Management); for IT professionals, certain features help save time, and we enable IT professionals and technical teams of organizations by training them, handling deployments, and assisting with troubleshooting when needed."
"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."
"Samsung Knox is doing excellent work with its current offerings."
 

Cons

"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"The solution does require maintenance, and it is complex to maintain, especially regarding updates, patching, and releases."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"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 dashboards could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"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 product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
"We faced multiple issues when pushing configuration profiles and policies through Samsung Knox. The students were cracking the entire system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"We work in the charity sector, so a lot of our clients get Microsoft Premium licenses or Business Premium for free. They get ten licenses free, and a lot of our clients do not have more than ten staff members. They are getting the tool for free, so its cost is not an issue."
"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."
"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."
"I am satisfied with the price of this solution."
"There is an option to make yearly or monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. Price-wise, the product is okay."
