Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization

Using Adaptiva is really straightforward. Users need to have some end-user computing and networking knowledge to use the solution. The project or implementation team we worked with had good technical knowledge. I really liked the solution's performance. Adaptiva helped us with network bandwidth optimization and content delivery. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.

A solid low-code builder that helps build workflows and processes in a variety of settings

It's not complex, but you need certified skills for setup to be easy. It is different for an L1 resource, who has a basic understanding of things and may not be a developer who deeply understands how to build up the solution, where that understanding is present with an L3 or L2 resource. For maintenance, you need at least one skill set for each module. You would need one for UEM and one more for MDM, which is the ideal way to do it unless you have people who know the modules in and out. We have a larger team for IT service management because the demand for IT service management is high, but we can see that for other modules as well now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features in Microsoft Intune include secure authentication, which I find very favorable, and the fact that we can remotely push applications."

"Technical support is good."

"Microsoft Intune is far more efficient and faster than MECM."

"Most people prefer to use Intune if they want to implement conditional access policies to restrict customer Exchange Online or Exchange user formats emails until their devices comply."

"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."

"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."

"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."

"This product allows us to restrict users who have access to the system, or to Office 365."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is cloud-based, which aids in deployment."

"Ivanti is really good. They have a very good vulnerability database in which even if it is used for other products like BMC or Microsoft, the vulnerabilities and patching database is well filtered and very well documented."

"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."

"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."

"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."

"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."

"The product has good stability."

"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager pros

Cons

"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."

"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."

"I'd like to see an ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."

"What I'd like to see in their next upgrade is more in the context of today's security policies and what's needed, for them to keep adding features based on that, for example boosting security, so they can keep on adding security features, and that is the best they can do."

"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."

"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."

"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."

"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."

"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

"The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization."

"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."

"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu."

"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."

"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."

"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."

"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."

"Microsoft Intune is expensive."

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

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."

"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

Information not available

"The licensing is based on assets for MDM or EM, where you need one license per asset. The license is annual, and it is not very expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."

"The pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."

"The solution is pretty expensive."
