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.
MobileIron UEM and Microsoft Intune are both Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions, but they have differences:
Vendor: MobileIron is a dedicated UEM provider, while Microsoft Intune is part of the Microsoft 365 suite.
Integration: Intune integrates seamlessly with Microsoft's productivity and security tools, while MobileIron offers flexibility to work with various ecosystems.
Ecosystem: Intune primarily targets Windows and Microsoft-centric environments, whereas MobileIron supports a broader range of platforms, including iOS and Android.
Features: Intune offers extensive app management and security features for Microsoft apps, while MobileIron may provide more robust cross-platform security and app management capabilities.
Pricing: Pricing structures differ; Intune may be bundled with Microsoft 365, while MobileIron's pricing varies based on features and platform support.
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
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...
