Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged
The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

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.

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 feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The company provides great customer service."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"When a user receives the machine, sets it up, and turns it on, it connects to the domain and begins installing software, becoming ready within approximately half an hour, which represents a significant time savings for IT departments."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Microsoft Intune does help me save time in terms of management of various devices—I don't have to go to those locations to manage the devices at those locations, I can do it remotely, which is very helpful."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"The mobile device management is very useful."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
 

Cons

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."
"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."
"Areas for improvement in Intune include expanding support beyond Samsung devices to accommodate other Android manufacturers like Redmi and Motorola."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"The technical support by Microsoft is not so good. We have to manage many things by ourselves and do not receive responses in a timely manner."
"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"Microsoft Intune is currently overpriced."
"I rate Microsoft support four out of 10. Support is one area where Microsoft needs to improve a lot. I recently raised a ticket for a Microsoft Azure issue, and it took two and a half weeks for support to reply. They need to improve support across their entire catalog of products."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure."
"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"Intune comes with the licensing that is common for large organizations. However, Microsoft has recently released many add-ons that are very expensive, especially for large organizations or corporations."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"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."

Hello Lahcen, I am posting this comment on behalf of one of our site users who is the Head of Infrastructure at his company. He says: One of the key differences is MobileIron is much more mature than Intune in some aspects. So you have much more granular controls in MobileIron if you need to.

The MobileIron UEM solution is now Ivanti and is divided into 3 areas: Client Management (EndPoint)-Mobile Management (MDM) and Desktop or workspace customization. Microsoft solutions are Defender Endpoint - Microsoft Intune (MDM and MAM). The advantage, if they are Windows, is because the Defender antivirus is managed in Defender EndPoint and the management or control of Android or Windows devices and application deployment With Intune; It is also complemented with Office 365. I hope to be helpful. https://www.ivanti.com/es/lp/uem/reports/gartner-magic-quadrant-for-uem

Hello Lahcen,  I am posting this comment on behalf of one of our site users who is the Head of Infrastructure at his company. He says: One of the key differences is MobileIron is much more mature than Intune in some aspects. So you have much more granular controls in MobileIron if you need to. Microsoft Intune on the other hand is easier to use in my opinion and has most features that most organization needs. If you already have a Microsoft 365 Tenant or intend to have one, Microsoft Intune is really a no-brainer. Unless you need those super granular controls that only MobileIron or Airwatch has, you will want to keep Intune. Intune is much faster and easier to deploy if you know the solution well. I typically need 1 week to configure everything in a Tenant to manage IOS & Windows devices as long as the requirements are fixed before I start the configuration. There are not many Intune experts out there but it’s not that difficult to learn either. MobileIron is a much more complicated solution and has been adopted from an on-prem solution to start with so it has its legacies limitation too. Microsoft Intune started on the cloud right from the start so it does not have such issues.
