Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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

"Microsoft Intune does a great job of helping protect our environment."

"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."

"Microsoft Intune is a core product, and it's very stable"

"As an IT administrator, I appreciate Intune's ability to implement granular device-level policies for our organization's employees."

"Microsoft Intune has positively impacted our organization by covering processes, improving security, and saving time."

"The solution’s most valuable feature is its ease of use."

"The product helps organizations have a model or place to allow users to access the corporate resources from any device that the user wants and in a highly secured way."

"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."

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."

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

"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."

"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 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 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 terminal remediation feature is valuable."

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

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

"The company provides great customer service."

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

"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."

"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."

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

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM pros

Cons

"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."

"There's a significant discrepancy in Intune pricing between tenants."

"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."

"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."

"If you have a reporting-extensive company, for example, then you may need to look for other products."

"What I'd like to see in their next upgrade is more in the context of today's security policies and what's needed, for them to keep adding features based on that, for example boosting security, so they can keep on adding security features, and that is the best they can do."

"Reporting in Microsoft Intune presents challenges because the built-in reports are often too basic."

"There is room for improvement in Microsoft Intune regarding Linux and Mac compatibility because some limitations exist."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper."

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

"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."

"The tool's stability could be better."

"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."

"I also found the UI to be quite complicated to work with, so it takes quite a bit of time to train any new staff and to get them to understand how the solution works."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"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."

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

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

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

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing needs improvement."

"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."

"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."

"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."

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

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."

"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

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

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
