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.

Has consistently offered in-depth customization and reliable patch management across environments
The most valuable features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager are its customization options for the agent, as you can customize patching cycle settings, maintenance windows, and reboot policies. Within a device group, all these settings can be customized based on the agents. The user interface of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is very practical and easy to understand, providing comprehensive information without clutter. It is simple enough for me to conduct a knowledge session for teammates, and they quickly grasp where each option is located. Regarding automated patch management, it allows me to download patches without manual intervention. Whenever a fresh list of patches is available on the server, I can schedule a task that automatically pulls all the new patches, but I prefer to manually control the deployment of these patches. Reporting in Ivanti Endpoint Manager allows me to create LDAP-based queries, and once I have a bit of knowledge, I can build my queries to determine what version of Chrome is installed on how many devices. It provides CSV files that serve as raw data for building reports, and I can set it to automatically email reports on a weekly or monthly basis as per my schedule.

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

"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices. We can ship devices globally, and users can set them up on their own. It's convenient."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch."
"What I appreciate the most about Microsoft Intune is that it's quick and easy to use from an authenticator perspective. There is simplicity in securing our platform. Microsoft Intune benefits my company because of its simplicity of use and cross-functional integration."
"With on-premises Active Directory, the main challenge was that we had no control when a user was working from home. We didn't know what exactly a user was doing and whether the AV was up to date or not. Intune provides better control of their machines."
"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."
"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 is a great product from a security perspective."
"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."
"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 product saves time and money."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10."
"The company provides great customer service."
"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."
"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 user interface is user-friendly."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
 

Cons

"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"Intune's server management could be better. If it could incorporate more features from System Center into Intune's Configuration Manager, it would be beneficial."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"I have not been satisfied with it, and I am planning to change it soon. There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"We are currently unable to control aspects of group policy from Teams like we can for GPO. They are still not part of Intune. Microsoft is adding this, but it's currently in preview, and few GPO features have been added to the product."
"It would be awesome if Microsoft opened their API so we could filter more properties. If we have to do anything outside of Intune that requires a third-party solution to talk back to it, we're very limited in what we can do."
"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."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."
"The reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"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."
"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."
"When it comes to the reporting part, it needs to be improved. The executive reports and the deployment reports can be more improvised."
"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."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."
"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have no comment on pricing of the solution."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"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."
"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."
"It's bundled with Business Premium and an E3 license, which is beneficial. If you have to pay extra, it's pricey, but with the bundled package, it's acceptable. They recently increased the Business Premium pricing, which we don't appreciate. The price increase and yearly commitment are causing some problems for us."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
