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.

A stable, scalable solution, and easy to deploy

I give the solution an eight out of ten. Maintenance of the solution usually requires two people. One engineer from Ivanti and one of ours. The solution is used by the people that scan devices in the warehouse. We currently have around 200 users. Ivanti Avalanche is a great tool for the management of devices and I recommend it to others.

Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged

The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."

"Microsoft Intune is very stable due to its cloud-based infrastructure and its reliability in performance."

"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."

"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."

"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."

"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."

"The feature I find most valuable in Microsoft Intune is being able to configure policies and push them directly to mobile phones."

"Previously, we used on-prem SCCM to deploy applications we built manually. After migrating to Intune, we automated and streamlined the process of deploying applications with autopilot. I can do more with my day. I can manage more applications and ensure that they're updated without monitoring and manually starting that process all over again."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."

"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."

"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."

"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."

"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."

"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"The company provides great customer service."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

Cons

"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."

"The information we receive at the device level needs improvement."

"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."

"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."

"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."

"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."

"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."

"The tool's stability could be better."

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."

"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."

"The Intune license model is costly."

"The price could be better."

"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."

"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."

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."

"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."

"Other than the standard licensing fee, there aren't any additional or hidden costs, although I believe Avalanche could be made more affordable in general."

"You will need to purchase licenses for each device."

"The license is based on assets. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Although the solution is a bit costly in my opinion, for customers who really need this solution, Ivanti Avalanche is worth it."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
