Helps save time and money for users
I used Ivanti Endpoint Manager because I had one of their other tools in my old company, which is a DSM. DSM was used for my old environment, which I was responsible for, and I was really satisfied with Ivanti. Ivanti later on decided not to sell DSM anymore and stopped supporting it. Ivanti then offered people a tool named LANDESK. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is a tool we are bringing in place in our current company, and it has a similar functionality to DSM, a reason why my company decided to go for it. We also install machines from scratch with the tool. We can also patch third-party products, and it does not even have to be Microsoft always. Actually, we get a lot of freeing up resources because we can now manage Ivanti Endpoint Manager from a central point, which was not possible earlier, and we had to run to each machine.

Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product saves time and money."
"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"The ability to deploy patches and automate software deployments to end-user devices is very useful."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"Microsoft Intune's autopilot has been nice to have."
"The best part of Intune is device control. If we need to block a user from opening something in their organization's system, we can do it from Intune. If we want to restrict the movement of an organization's data to prevent users from copying the data into Outlook, WhatsApp, or their personal Gmail, we can limit that via Intune. It secures all corporate data."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
 

Cons

"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive."
"Microsoft Intune could improve in reporting data for endpoints and fleets. Enhanced capabilities to run queries and gather specific device data to identify trends or issues would be beneficial. The feature parity for MacOS and handling devices from an MDM perspective is not comprehensive. Consolidation of these functionalities within Intune would simplify processes and finances."
"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
