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.

Trainer/Consultant at Koenig Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

Effective product tracking and monitoring enhances daily operations despite needing documentation improvement

The documentation part of Workspace ONE UEM can be confusing. The documentation is not comprehensive compared to other VMware solutions or Microsoft documentation. Most people struggle to connect the dots when looking at the documentation. Even the training material and PowerPoint slide decks that trainers use are sometimes too confusing or overwhelming, with too much content but not enough clarity. The support side has recently become weaker compared to what it used to be with VMware. This is another area that needs improvement. Since working with Workspace ONE UEM from when it was AirWatch, it has improved significantly over the last five years. However, there are still some gray areas and scope for improvement, especially in documentation and workflow between different aspects of the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When a user receives the machine, sets it up, and turns it on, it connects to the domain and begins installing software, becoming ready within approximately half an hour, which represents a significant time savings for IT departments."

"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."

"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."

"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."

"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."

"I have seen a return on investment with Microsoft Intune, as it has saved me resources; previously, I managed my infrastructure with a team of around six to seven members, but after transitioning to the Microsoft Intune hybrid model, I am able to manage it with just one resource, allowing me to cut costs significantly, around 50-60 lakhs."

"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."

"We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."

"The solution's customer support is good."

"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"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."

"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."

More 42Gears SureMDM pros

"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."

"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."

"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."

"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"

"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution."

"The location and remote management services are the most valuable."

"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."

"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."

"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."

"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."

"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."

"The tool's tunnel gateway is not very good, making it an area where improvements are required."

"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."

"Microsoft Intune's app deployment presents challenges for non-MSI and non-store apps, particularly EXEs, requiring the use of a Win32 wrapper tool and adding overhead to the process."

"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."

"User creation on Mac must 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 dashboards could be improved."

"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."

"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."

"The product's stability for certain instances needs improvement."

"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."

"The solution needs to adapt to the cloud based reality of the current world model. Some customers may have reluctance to this, but it is the next level for all of the big providers. Azure, AWS and Google are all on the forefront of cloud-based solutions."

"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."

"Setup is not too complex."

"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."

"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."

More Workspace ONE UEM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"

"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"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."

"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."

"I am satisfied with the price of this solution."

"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."

"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."

"There is an option to make yearly or monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. Price-wise, the product is okay."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."

"The pricing currently is higher than the competition."

"You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."

"We are paying about $145,000 a year on a three-year subscription with no ability to scale up or scale down within that class model."

"It is quite expensive, but I think large companies have agreements with these organizations that provide remote monitoring for phones, and they get massive discounts. The public price does not reflect what they pay. You won't get the same pricing if you're buying for 10 employees versus 1,000 employees. On the public price, you get perhaps a 10% discount, but if you're buying 1,000, the discount could be really massive, especially if you signed a contract for a number of years."

"Depending on the requirements of users, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."

"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."

"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."

Reviews from Real Users

Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
