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.

A solid low-code builder that helps build workflows and processes in a variety of settings
It's not complex, but you need certified skills for setup to be easy. It is different for an L1 resource, who has a basic understanding of things and may not be a developer who deeply understands how to build up the solution, where that understanding is present with an L3 or L2 resource. For maintenance, you need at least one skill set for each module. You would need one for UEM and one more for MDM, which is the ideal way to do it unless you have people who know the modules in and out. We have a larger team for IT service management because the demand for IT service management is high, but we can see that for other modules as well now.

Centralized policies have improved remote endpoint control and have simplified data visibility
The integration is not simple and easy. It requires experienced users or people who have done the implementation. When certain policies are applied, they do not immediately push the policies. For example, we manage endpoint device USB access. We set a policy to block it, but it does not come into effect immediately. Sometimes it takes three or four days for it to reflect. That is a pain point. I have raised this issue with support as well, but they said that I need to limit the number of devices in the policy. In terms of application deployment, for us, it was seamless.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful, allowing users to have an out of box experience."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"Advanced endpoint analytics provides granular information about devices in Microsoft Intune, facilitating easier troubleshooting at system and application levels."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I like how Intune brings everything into one place. For example, you can set up conditional access to applications and devices inside Intune. I also like the segregation inside the Intune devices. You can segregate them by Windows, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android. You can sort it by platform, so you don't need to go into the devices section."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is very friendly and the interface is very good."
"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."
"The product has good stability."
"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."
"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."
"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."
"Ivanti is really good. They have a very good vulnerability database in which even if it is used for other products like BMC or Microsoft, the vulnerabilities and patching database is well filtered and very well documented."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection, so the process is easier and more efficient."
"Tanium is stable and it is also lightweight."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management."
"What I'd like to see in their next upgrade is more in the context of today's security policies and what's needed, for them to keep adding features based on that, for example boosting security, so they can keep on adding security features, and that is the best they can do."
"The security features should be improved."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"If you could replace SCCM completely with Intune, that would be fantastic so that you don't have to run SCCM with Intune as an extension."
"The reporting part needs improvement, and it would be beneficial if it could integrate with third-party tools instead of just Power BI."
"It could benefit from faster integration with new technologies, such as quicker adaptation to Windows updates. Additionally, more advanced customization options would be valuable."
"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."
"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."
"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."
"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."
"The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization."
"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."
"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."
"The problem or challenge is a pre-sales and go-to strategy for the SMB market delivered through a channel or model. It's very convoluted and vague, which leads to some confusion about the various types of modules, and the device-to-seat cost is extremely difficult to calculate."
"There are downsides and drawbacks in Tanium, and there is room for improvement from my perspective."
"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium."
"We set a policy to block USB access. The moment a device is being set up on the network, I apply the policy, but it does not come into effect immediately."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."

"Microsoft Intune is included in the E5 license at no additional cost."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
