Modern endpoint management has transformed onboarding and strengthened remote security controls
The features of Microsoft Intune are straightforward, including Windows Autopilot, zero-touch deployment, centralized device management, and conditional access security controls. Using zero-touch deployment and Windows Autopilot in Microsoft Intune has significantly improved my workflow and organization. New laptops are shipped directly to users with no IT handling needed, and there is no manual imaging or configuration required. These features have a real impact. They save hours of manual setup per device, reduce dependency on the IT team for basic provisioning, and ensure every system is configured consistently and securely. Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization by improving device management. Devices are managed from a single cloud console. It has reduced manual work for provisioning and configuration. It has faster onboarding using Autopilot. It has enhanced security posture through enforced compliance policies, encryption, antivirus, and password rules. Conditional access ensures only trusted devices can access resources. I have better support for remote users, as devices can be managed from anywhere with no dependency on office network or VPN for basic management. It has easy troubleshooting and policy updates.

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

"The feature I find most valuable in Microsoft Intune is being able to configure policies and push them directly to mobile phones."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"The Advanced Endpoint Analytics in Microsoft Intune has improved and helps us proactively detect and remediate anomalies in endpoints."
"It is a stable solution."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that we are able to send application deployments and certifications for conditional access."
"Our configuration profiles used to be all over the place. For example, there's a lot of legacy stuff in Active Directory. Going through Intune has helped us enforce settings, which has improved device security and functionality. When you apply something through Intune, you know it works. You don't have to worry about a legacy setting from Active Directory that was uploaded by somebody seven years ago. With Intune, you can see that a device has a setting, and you can be confident that the device is configured how you want."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."
"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."
"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."
"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 products are quite good when they are operational."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

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

Cons

"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
"Issues such as Windows 32 app failures occur frequently, and detailed manual detection rules are often necessary."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper."
"However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"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."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"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."
"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
