Collaborations engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

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 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…

Feature-rich, easy to use, and has responsive technical support

We are working on the proof of concept for both MobileIron and Workspace ONE. We are only testing MobileIron and Workspace ONE. After that, we will decide which device to use. Workspace ONE by VMware Similarly, we will use MobileIron as a mobile device management tool, allowing us to manage our endpoints remotely. So far, we have not had any issues with VMware, and we have resolved some, if not all, of the issues. I have been testing with VMware Workspace ONE for the same amount of time as MobileIron UEM, three weeks. We are using the latest version, and it is deployed on a public cloud. The cloud provider is VMware. I have also been working with Google Chrome. Google Workspace is an email production tool provided by Google. We don't have a firewall because we're in the cloud right now. We have no on-premises network and all of our systems are hosted in the cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."

"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."

"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."

"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."

"The automatic patch management feature in the Intune Suite is helpful."

"It's easy to manage."

"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."

"I rate Intune 10 out of 10."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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 terminal remediation feature is valuable."

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

"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 user interface is user-friendly."

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

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

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

"The company provides great customer service."

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

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

Cons

"I, as such, do not have any specific inputs or needs. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to scalability."

"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."

"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."

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

"Reporting needs improvement."

"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."

"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."

"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

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

"The tool's stability could be better."

"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."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

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

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

"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."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

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

"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."

"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."

"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."

"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
