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.

Centralized management simplifies software distribution and patch management

From the features perspective, distribution packages is the best feature in the Ivanti Endpoint Manager. We create tasks for patching or distributing software, appliances, or MSA files and schedule them. We create repair groups, push appliances, create drives, and map shared drives to distribution packages. It distributes the groups included in those packages across our entire network. It is easy to deploy appliances or applications, including OS to workstations within a single click. We can see any missing patches or vulnerabilities. It is very useful for troubleshooting and identifying patches, whether missing or installed. I would suggest including an option to manage multiple clients in future releases. For example, as a managed service provider, if I use Ivanti Endpoint Manager for one client, can I deploy or use the same server to manage other clients or multiple sites or region clients? That feature would be beneficial for managing multiple domains within a single appliance.

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 the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."

"The main value of Microsoft Intune is better asset management from a security perspective, ensuring that the security baseline is enforced on all devices, including mobile devices."

"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."

"I have seen a return on investment right from the start of the tool's usage."

"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."

"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Intune nine out of ten."

"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."

"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"What I appreciate most about Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it's easy to enroll the device, the patch is very impressive, and the patching part of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is much easier compared to InTune, where in InTune, you have to create the app deployment, but Ivanti Endpoint Manager makes it much easier to update any patch, patch updates, and application updates."

"The main benefits of Ivanti Endpoint Manager include patch management and security benefits such as vulnerability management, and it is particularly useful for managing devices in a centralized console."

"The Ivanti Endpoint Manager allows us to perform rollouts, starting small with a group of devices and expanding to a larger set of devices, and it provides the ability to download updates while pinpointing which updates we need and don't need."

"The best features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager are that the agents are very light, and the deployment monitoring is very good."

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10."

"Patch management is one of the greatest features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager because we have Rollout Projects in the Management Console that we are using for the patching process."

"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."

"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager pros

"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."

"The solution is good, 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."

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

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

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

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

"The user interface is user-friendly."

Cons

"In the future, I would like to see improvements in Microsoft Intune, especially related to policies and GPU."

"Setting up Intune Autopilot can be a little complicated."

"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."

"I find the solution quite old school with not many features."

"If you could replace SCCM completely with Intune, that would be fantastic so that you don't have to run SCCM with Intune as an extension."

"Every time we call, we get bounced to a new team... there is no cohesive end-to-end support, which is very frustrating and time-consuming."

"We are not satisfied with technical support. Some improvements might be required."

"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Despite the good features, I would suggest improvements in the console interface of the Ivanti Endpoint Manager as it appears outdated, reminiscent of the early 2000s."

"The reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."

"For larger environments such as ours, the pricing for the Ivanti Endpoint Manager should be more competitive considering how much we pay every year, making it a constant challenge to get the product and license renewed."

"When we offboard a user, sending the wipe command or lock command is slightly slower than Workspace ONE, as Workspace ONE automatically processes the lock or device wipe command instantly, while InTune is similar too."

"They should create instructional videos for every feature such as software management and patch management to help beginners who are new to Ivanti Endpoint Manager."

"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."

"Despite the good features, I would suggest improvements in the console interface of the Ivanti Endpoint Manager as it appears outdated, reminiscent of the early 2000s."

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager cons

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

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

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

"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."

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

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

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."

"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."

"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."

"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."

"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."

"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."

"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
