Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 19, 2025

Microsoft Intune and Ivanti Neurons for MDM are both prominent players in the mobile device management category. While both have strengths, Intune has a slight edge due to its seamless integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, which offers existing Microsoft users a smoother experience and better return on investment.

Features: Microsoft Intune excels with its integration with Office 365 and Azure, offering a single sign-on experience, and is managed from the Azure console. It supports conditional access policies and co-management with System Center and Windows Defender, making it ideal for organizations heavily invested in Microsoft’s ecosystem. Ivanti Neurons for MDM stands out with advanced MDM features such as zero-touch provisioning and seamless enrollment, which streamline device setup and management processes.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Intune needs better reporting, faster policy application, and enhanced support for Android policies. There's also a demand for improved macOS management and integration with non-Microsoft solutions. Ivanti can enhance its user interface, language support, and the integration between MobileIron and Advanced Neurons, as well as focus on improving overall monitoring capabilities.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Intune offers smooth deployment in both Public and Hybrid Clouds with its streamlined cloud provisioning. Premium support is often praised, although technical support experiences vary. Ivanti, also suitable for Public and Hybrid Cloud setups, sometimes presents challenges in setup and language support, with technical support being adequate but sometimes lacking in precise integration assistance.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Intune often comes bundled with other Microsoft services, making it cost-effective for organizations already using Microsoft products. Its competitive pricing, especially when combined with other licenses, is a significant benefit. Ivanti Neurons for MDM also offers competitive pricing, though it may not be as cost-efficient as Intune, especially for those leveraging extensive Microsoft integrations. Intune's seamless integration within the Microsoft ecosystem provides clear ROI benefits for existing Microsoft clients.

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 features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"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 company provides great customer service."

"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 most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."

"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."

"The initial setup is not complex."

"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."

"I like Intune's ability to manage roles, maintenance tasks, compliance settings, and patch development for all endpoints."

"It's easy to manage."

"It is more efficient to have one solution rather than having security parts spread across three, four, or five solutions."

"Our configuration profiles used to be all over the place. For example, there's a lot of legacy stuff in Active Directory. Going through Intune has helped us enforce settings, which has improved device security and functionality. When you apply something through Intune, you know it works. You don't have to worry about a legacy setting from Active Directory that was uploaded by somebody seven years ago. With Intune, you can see that a device has a setting, and you can be confident that the device is configured how you want."

More Microsoft Intune pros

Cons

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."

"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."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."

"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."

"The reporting functionality of Microsoft Intune is limited compared to Microsoft System Center, which offers many more reporting options."

"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."

"The Mac integration has room for improvement."

"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."

"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."

"I rate Microsoft customer service six out of 10. While some technicians go above and beyond, there is inconsistency, and connecting with the most helpful representatives is occasionally challenging."

More Microsoft Intune cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."

"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"

"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."

"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."

"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."

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

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.
