Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

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.

Streamline enrollment with seamless security and integration while technical support improves
Integration is required first. Samsung Knox needs to be configured initially. Once configured for the first time, the process becomes simplified. For example, in our client's case, they ship Samsung Galaxy devices directly to employees. When the end user receives the device, they simply open the box and attempt to enroll by entering their username and password. No additional steps are required beyond that. There are very few questions asked. Once authentication is completed, the user can proceed without selecting many options. The system directly logs in, and the user receives apps pushed by the console. It is also integrated from the MDM. Certain apps are pushed to employees for their use. This ensures the work profile remains secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution saves us a lot of time once it's implemented."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"The solution is fully integrated with the Microsoft platform and the Autopilot feature, which is a unique feature."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"We are transforming our flat network by adopting different cloud solutions, and our own applications are hosted in the cloud. Intune ensures our security throughout our entire cloud-based system, improving our security posture."
"From the user perspective, Microsoft Intune enables access to corporate data and apps even on personal devices, which is convenient."
"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."
"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10."
"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 best feature that Ivanti Endpoint Manager offers is remote desktop management, which allows viewing a user's screen."
"The best features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager are that the agents are very light, and the deployment monitoring is very good."
"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 product saves time and money."
"Based on my experience and understanding, Samsung Knox is quite good, user-friendly, and top-notch."
"One portal for all the features and the remote support capability in Samsung Knox is highly valued. The enterprise editions and the free Knox Suite licenses for one year are also beneficial."
"Samsung Knox has very seamless integration capabilities for deployment; we easily upload devices through the KME, Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment."
"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."
"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."
"Samsung Knox functions as a UEM (User Endpoint Management); for IT professionals, certain features help save time, and we enable IT professionals and technical teams of organizations by training them, handling deployments, and assisting with troubleshooting when needed."
"Samsung Knox is doing excellent work with its current offerings."
"Samsung Knox has good support for data protection, especially when using devices for profile installations, firmware updates, or configuration suites, as they are all data protected with a double layer of protection using our own MDM server alongside Samsung Knox services."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are areas that have room for improvement in Microsoft Intune, particularly regarding integrations."
"The main differences between Intune and other products are, like I mentioned, in terms of the Mac. If the customers are majorly moving and adopting Mac laptops while they are using the Intune, they are leaving for other platforms, like Workspace ONE and vMOX."
"My assessment of the user experience of Microsoft Intune is that it is sometimes good and sometimes poor, depending on Microsoft's infrastructure."
"In Microsoft Intune, error messages are an area that has room for improvement. Regarding error messages, I would like to see more detailed logs added."
"The way the apps are getting deployed, the checkboxes for deleting previous versions are actually creating more conflicts than fixing problems."
"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."
"Intune is a good product for UEM, which is helpful for Windows 10 management. However, for MAM, there is lots of improvement needed."
"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."
"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."
"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 reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."
"When it comes to the reporting part, it needs to be improved. The executive reports and the deployment reports can be more improvised."
"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."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
"We faced multiple issues when pushing configuration profiles and policies through Samsung Knox. The students were cracking the entire system."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."
"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."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"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."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
