Joseph Merusi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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.

Offers reliability and efficiency to users
The real-time visibility offered by the product has impacted our company's IT operations, and I can say that it is a user-friendly or admin-friendly product. I recommend the product to others since it is a powerful solution. The product is reliable and efficient. The product vendors are helpful, and they try to engage with the customers and improve the product. In terms of the benefits offered by the product, it is a powerful tool where the vendor offers support to users. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."
"Our main use is Intune's management of mobile devices, like Android or iPhone devices. The application performs quite well for both types. We successfully managed almost 3,000 endpoints."
"Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."
"Microsoft Intune has helped us by improving our security posture, leading to fewer security problems, and helping us understand where we have issues."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"I find Microsoft Intune valuable primarily for its Windows management capabilities, along with its Android Enterprise and Apple device management for mobile devices."
"The product saves time and money."
"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
 

Cons

"A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."
"The security aspect could be more effective. We are using other applications to manage network devices and groups, so if Microsoft Intune could improve in this area, especially on a network level, it would be a real advantage."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"We had an APNS certificate set to expire last week. We tried to renew it two days before it expired. We logged in to the APNS portal but could not find that certificate. We didn't know where it went. All the iOS devices stopped working. We contacted the Apple and Microsoft teams, and each blamed the other. This is something that Microsoft should take care of. Last week, we had so many escalations from high-profile users who couldn't access corporate data on their devices."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"The price for Intune is fair."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
