Senior Business Development Executive at Digitaltrack Solutions Pvt Ltd

Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance

One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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

"If a client is using a lot of Microsoft, it's a great product to have."

"The integration with conditional access is great."

"Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization by providing many benefits."

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

"Microsoft Intune is far more efficient and faster than MECM."

"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security, and it helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."

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

"If you want to manage your mobile devices as well as your Windows 10 devices, Intune is the best option."

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."

"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 terminal remediation feature is valuable."

"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."

"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 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 company provides great customer service."

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

"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."

"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."

Cons

"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."

"Those are the two features that did not impress me much, and currently with other customers I am improving them with Microsoft directly."

"Policy and app deployment should be faster, as it currently takes between minutes to hours to apply, with an average of one hour."

"Intune could be improved by expanding its third-party patching capabilities for a more comprehensive solution."

"Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite."

"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."

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

"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"There is a lack of flexibility."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

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

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

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

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."

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

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

"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."

"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."

"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."

"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

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."

"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."

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

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
