Everything has worked better since we started using it
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. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Offers flexible application management that allows secure delivery of applications to endpoints, enabling users to operate applications on the go
VMware is also a part of our practice, but my focus is predominantly on Citrix, which constitutes about 80% of our management, with VMware covering the remaining percentage. VMware excels in server-related virtualization and is considered the best in that domain. However, for desktop virtualization, Citrix is more mature. Both offer comprehensive product support and robust security features, with extensive partnerships across hardware vendors like HP and Cisco. In terms of cons, VMware tends to be more expensive and complex, with some degree of vendor lock-in. Citrix, on the other hand, offers a better user experience and is more flexible and scalable. While both platforms have their features, Citrix has less licensing complexity compared to VMware, and support quality is comparable between the two.

Helps save time and money for users
I used Ivanti Endpoint Manager because I had one of their other tools in my old company, which is a DSM. DSM was used for my old environment, which I was responsible for, and I was really satisfied with Ivanti. Ivanti later on decided not to sell DSM anymore and stopped supporting it. Ivanti then offered people a tool named LANDESK. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is a tool we are bringing in place in our current company, and it has a similar functionality to DSM, a reason why my company decided to go for it. We also install machines from scratch with the tool. We can also patch third-party products, and it does not even have to be Microsoft always. Actually, we get a lot of freeing up resources because we can now manage Ivanti Endpoint Manager from a central point, which was not possible earlier, and we had to run to each machine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"Microsoft Intune simplifies device management by replacing the traditional method of installing OS, joining a domain, and configuring everything manually."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier."
"We have found the ability to manage user accounts on shared devices valuable as it reduces the need for multiple licenses, which saves costs."
"We have seen improvements in compliance management on the devices."
"The MAM applications of the product are great."
"A valuable feature of Citrix Endpoint Management is that it's stable. The stability is not a challenge among the move to the cloud."
"The product is capable of acting in many different ways to help secure architecture."
"Users can log in anytime, anywhere, using any device, which is a significant advantage."
"We have found the ability to manage user accounts on shared devices valuable as it reduces the need for multiple licenses, which saves costs."
"One key feature is secure application delivery, which enables the secure delivery of mobile and web applications to end-user devices. This ensures data protection and compliance with corporate policies."
"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."
"The product saves time and money."
 

Cons

"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"Intune could add more Linux security features and more integration with on-prem devices. The application deployments can also be improved."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"Intune could be improved by expanding its third-party patching capabilities for a more comprehensive solution."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."
"The iOS version updates do not work as well as I would like."
"The support provided by Citrix needs improvement."
"Citrix needs to improve the architecture. They also need to strengthen the application integration. They keep referring to some things to be required as security, and they keep selling the next level and on-premise separately. They should give the customer the opportunity to decide whether they want to use the next level on-premise or on-cloud, but they should not charge additional fees if the customer wants to deploy the next level on-premise because the customer is already being charged as the end user. They should allow next level on-premise optimization without any additional charges."
"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."
"Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."
"Citrix often depends on other services like backend data centers, network security, and application firewalls. Issues in these areas can be misinterpreted as Citrix issues by users."
"The tool’s battery usage was high."
"The iOS version updates do not work as well as I would like."
"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"The licensing costs vary depending on the customer and the licensing model. We have three main types: per-user, subscription, and concurrent user licenses, plus a user-based model."
