Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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 security solution to manage devices with patching and remediation feature
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The mobile device management is very useful."
"Microsoft Intune is cost-effective, providing ROI through the time saved for support teams and people working with computers."
"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"It is absolutely a positive investment."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"I am easily able to manage devices and assets, especially laptops and desktops."
"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."
"One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch."
"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"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."
"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is cloud-based, which aids in deployment."
"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."
"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 solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."
"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."
 

Cons

"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
"One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic."
"For additional functionality, I suggest that Microsoft could expand on asset management. Since the platform is there, they could develop it into a full-fledged asset management system."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"If you could replace SCCM completely with Intune, that would be fantastic so that you don't have to run SCCM with Intune as an extension."
"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."
"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."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."
"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."
"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"It comes with the E5 plan. We bought the E5 plan from Microsoft."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."

"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."

"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."
