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.

Feature-rich, easy to use, and has responsive technical support

We are working on the proof of concept for both MobileIron and Workspace ONE. We are only testing MobileIron and Workspace ONE. After that, we will decide which device to use. Workspace ONE by VMware Similarly, we will use MobileIron as a mobile device management tool, allowing us to manage our endpoints remotely. So far, we have not had any issues with VMware, and we have resolved some, if not all, of the issues. I have been testing with VMware Workspace ONE for the same amount of time as MobileIron UEM, three weeks. We are using the latest version, and it is deployed on a public cloud. The cloud provider is VMware. I have also been working with Google Chrome. Google Workspace is an email production tool provided by Google. We don't have a firewall because we're in the cloud right now. We have no on-premises network and all of our systems are hosted in the cloud.

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 user interface is user-friendly."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The company provides great customer service."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

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

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"The solution has significantly improved managing a diverse range of devices. We have observed enhancements across Android, iOS, and Windows devices."

"Overall, I like Intune as a solution and would rate it nine out of ten."

"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."

"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."

"We were trying to solve many issues, mainly the lack of centralized management. Before Microsoft Intune, we had to manually support devices one by one, installing applications and configuring policies individually. When we implemented the tool, it became much easier to manage our devices. We enroll them in Microsoft Intune and can manage all devices with a few clicks. For application management, it's the same process. If we want to deploy applications to hundreds or thousands of devices, we can do it easily with just a few clicks. This also applies to policies."

"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."

"The most valuable feature of Intune is the user-friendly portal for end users."

More Microsoft Intune pros

Cons

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

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"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."

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

"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 interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."

"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."

"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."

"I would like more clarity on how Intune is migrating control from Active Directory group policies, especially as we move over to Windows 11. It seems inefficient to manage some settings in Active Directory and others in Intune."

"The installation could be improved to be simplified."

"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."

"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."

"We are currently unable to control aspects of group policy from Teams like we can for GPO. They are still not part of Intune. Microsoft is adding this, but it's currently in preview, and few GPO features have been added to the product."

More Microsoft Intune cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."

"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"Microsoft licenses are costly."

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

"It is not expensive."

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."

"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."

"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."

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.
