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.

Consistently manages a large number of devices without downtime and offers quality support
In terms of areas where they could improve, if they provided solutions for every OEM, similar to what every other MDM platform is doing, that would be beneficial. For example, products such as InTune and MobileIron have no limitations. They support both iOS devices and Android devices. However, Samsung Knox specifically targets Samsung devices only. If they develop a solution that supports everything, along with the selling of devices and the product, they could achieve more business. Samsung Knox does not require any maintenance on my end.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"I find Microsoft Intune valuable primarily for its Windows management capabilities, along with its Android Enterprise and Apple device management for mobile devices."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is very friendly and the interface is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"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."
"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."
"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 product saves time and money."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
"Based on my experience and understanding, Samsung Knox is quite good, user-friendly, and top-notch."
"Samsung Knox is essential because you can centrally manage all your devices, including Android devices, iPhones, and Windows devices, in one platform at an affordable price, improving your security with GPOs and different policies, which is crucial in these times when we need to secure all communications, software, and various components against hackers."
"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."
 

Cons

"One thing that could be better in Microsoft Intune is the file size, as it is quite large at times."
"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."
"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them."
"For autopilot, there should be more granularity on the settings that they offer at this stage."
"Intune could be improved by expanding its third-party patching capabilities for a more comprehensive solution."
"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."
"The mobile management is good for iPhone and iPad, but the Apple Mac management needs improvement. That is probably because Microsoft does not have low-level access to Apple Mac hardware. If you are doing basic things, it is okay, but if you want to image Apple Macs and do things like that, then Jamf is much better."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"When it comes to the reporting part, it needs to be improved. The executive reports and the deployment reports can be more improvised."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"The reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."
"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."
"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."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."
"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."
"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."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"We faced multiple issues when pushing configuration profiles and policies through Samsung Knox. The students were cracking the entire system."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."
"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
