We can manage all aspects of our devices from a single console, easy to scale, and quick to deploy
Intune has many benefits from the Microsoft perspective. This solution can manage Windows 10 devices, app management, and provide security solutions. We don't need to worry about our network connection, and we'll be more secure with regular security patches and compliance. Since everything will be deployed through the internet and users will log in using the internet only, the risks have been mitigated. Security updates, security patching, and the application will be targeted from Intune. The location tracker will be available to track where the device is and the user's location. The user will be restricted from accessing certain applications using compliance policies. Conditional access policies will be based on the reason why the user needs access to the application. Microsoft Intune is one of the best products in the industry for managing Windows devices. The solution has more feature restrictions. The conditional access policies also eliminate the dependency on the on-prem network for the devices. The solution also manages our security settings and a lot of other beneficial features such as Microsoft Purview which gives us the compliance portion. We can manage all aspects of our device from a single console, including M365 services. This allows us to configure data classification types, such as public, private, internal, confidential, and highly confidential.

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

"I like how Intune deploys the policies and makes them customizable. You can deploy it through Intune and forget about it."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."
"The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"The product is capable of acting in many different ways to help secure architecture."
"ShareFile, in particular, is valuable with its ease of sharing, and the best category security that is in the hands of users."
"We have seen improvements in compliance management on the devices."
"The MAM applications of the product are great."
"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."
"Users can log in anytime, anywhere, using any device, which is a significant advantage."
"A valuable feature of Citrix Endpoint Management is that it's stable. The stability is not a challenge among the move to the cloud."
"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."
"The product saves time and money."
 

Cons

"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"The worst aspect is the reporting."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"We are currently unable to control aspects of group policy from Teams like we can for GPO. They are still not part of Intune. Microsoft is adding this, but it's currently in preview, and few GPO features have been added to the product."
"Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."
"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."
"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 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."
"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

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"The price of Intune is included with the license for Office 365, so we don't have to pay anything extra for it."
"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."
