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.

Offers scalability and ability to create granular policies

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 In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior. I have been using it for five…

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

"Everything has worked better since we started using Intune."

"It saves time, money, and resources; when there was a local liaison, managing everything was a significant challenge, but with Microsoft Intune, it has become much easier—around 60% to 70% easier—and in terms of reliability and ease of use, it excels."

"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."

"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."

"The initial setup is easy."

"We are a Microsoft 365 E5 customer and the product promises the capabilities that we need and is available without additional cost."

"Before having Intune, we didn't have the capability to have computers wiped, couldn't manage the operating system from a central location, and weren't able to deploy policies and verify software updates, and it's helped with software update needs, operating system version update needs, and security policy enforcement."

"I have no issues with the scalability and ability to expand Microsoft Intune."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Ivanti Avalanche has reduced the time needed to perform updates on all the devices across our clients' organizations; it's a great time-saver for the client."

"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, but by using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"We have very good technical support; when we had big issues, the support was fantastic, I have nothing to complain about, and it was important for us to have that level of security from the company."

"The company provides great customer service."

"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."

Cons

"Back in 2020, there were significant problems with report accuracy, particularly regarding web patching."

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

"Improvements are needed in Microsoft Intune's enterprise app management, including support for more applications in app patching, boot batching, and discovery. I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function. Our customers need that capability, or they will buy it from a third party at a premium."

"There could be more competent processes and improvements in the policy space."

"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."

"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."

"One thing I would suggest is that servers are not getting managed through Microsoft Intune."

"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The tool's stability could be better."

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

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."

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

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

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

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."

"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."

"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."

"Microsoft Intune has been incorporated into our Microsoft E5 licenses."

"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."

"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

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

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

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
