Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
2.1
Ivanti Endpoint Manager enhances efficiency and security, reducing downtime and workload while proving valuable despite unquantified ROI.
Sentiment score
5.7
Microsoft Intune offers cost savings, enhanced productivity, and seamless integration, cutting expenses up to 60% with efficient management.
Everything we've gained from it makes my job easier day after day, and I see value in it as an engineer.
Microsoft Intune not only saves costs by reducing the number of personnel needed but also offers a comprehensive solution for managing laptops, applications, security, individual access, and enrollment.
Importantly, when someone leaves the company, it helps protect document access on their devices.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
4.2
Ivanti Endpoint Manager support is responsive and expert, despite occasional language barriers, providing quick resolutions and interactive assistance.
Sentiment score
5.5
Microsoft Intune's technical support has mixed reviews, with praise for higher-level engineers but criticism for lower-level support.
It's always better to jump on a call and share screen, which they are willing to do rather than just going through a list of troubleshooting steps.
Their technical support is generally good in terms of quality and speed.
They provided detailed information that helped me convince the security team to approve the necessary port openings.
When a support ticket is submitted, it directly reaches someone with Intune support expertise.
When I contacted Microsoft, they had the same expertise, if not more, which is phenomenal because I felt heard and my problem was solved.
Sometimes, the support provided is excellent, and the representative is knowledgeable, while other times, the service needs improvement.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.6
Ivanti Endpoint Manager efficiently scales and manages growth for mid-sized and large organizations with robust support and adaptability.
Sentiment score
6.7
Microsoft Intune offers scalable, cloud-based device management, integrating with systems like Office 365 for seamless enterprise flexibility and performance.
I rate the scalability of Ivanti Endpoint Manager around seven to eight because it offers options to manage the devices effectively, requiring only the addition of licenses.
Ivanti Endpoint Manager is indeed scalable.
The scalability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten.
Ideally, we want to automatically segregate devices based on user properties like primary use, but currently, dynamic groups seem limited to device properties.
It supports organizations with 200 endpoints and those with more than 15,000 endpoints.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Ivanti Endpoint Manager is stable and reliable, with minimal downtime, effective compliance, but requires regular updates for optimal performance.
Sentiment score
6.6
Microsoft Intune is stable and reliable, with minor sync delays, benefiting from a cloud-based infrastructure for improved performance.
Regarding stability and reliability, I have never seen the server go down or any functionality taken offline.
Due to the large number of devices in our environment, when we load the console for the first time, it takes a while to update the database.
For stability, once you get the system up and running, it's consistently stable without any lagging, crashing, or downtime.
We have not experienced downtime, bugs, or glitches.
It appears Microsoft Intune undergoes changes without informing customers.
Microsoft Intune has been very stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Ivanti Endpoint Manager needs UI enhancements, easier integration, better reporting, improved support, and enhanced compatibility with Active Directory.
Microsoft Intune needs improved reporting, faster policy deployment, automation, enhanced integration, and better support for BYOD and non-Microsoft systems.
It lacks features like easy connection to remote computers and has a complicated software deployment process.
I would suggest improvements in the console interface of the Ivanti Endpoint Manager as it appears outdated, reminiscent of the early 2000s.
When we offboard a user, sending the wipe command or lock command is slightly slower than Workspace ONE.
Features like unlocking devices sometimes fail, and the support offered for other operating systems is insufficient.
There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now.
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.
 

Setup Cost

Ivanti Endpoint Manager offers economical on-premises pricing, flexibility in modular licensing, but SaaS is costly without enhancements.
Microsoft Intune is seen as cost-effective, offering significant savings when bundled with Microsoft 365 and EMS licenses.
The transition to a Software-as-a-Service model led to significant price increases without corresponding enhancements in the platform.
Ivanti Endpoint Manager charges a flat fee for the implementation and product purchase, followed by yearly maintenance
Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs.
The Intune suite and add-ons, such as batch management and remote help, are costly.
It costs approximately forty euros per user per month.
 

Valuable Features

Ivanti Endpoint Manager excels in patch management, remote capabilities, centralized control, user-friendly interface, and efficient IT operations management.
Microsoft Intune offers zero-touch deployment, security, cross-platform management, and intuitive interface for streamlined device and application management.
It provided essential features needed for our operations, including endpoint management and remote control.
From the features perspective, distribution packages is the best feature in the Ivanti Endpoint Manager.
The most valuable feature of the Ivanti Endpoint Manager is the Windows update patching.
Intune excels in configuration and compliance management for Windows 10, ensuring devices receive timely updates and adhere to organizational standards.
Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow.
Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management.

Featured Reviews

Mohammad Abrar Shaikh - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
