AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Vikram - PeerSpot reviewer
Really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization
Using Adaptiva is really straightforward. Users need to have some end-user computing and networking knowledge to use the solution. The project or implementation team we worked with had good technical knowledge. I really liked the solution's performance. Adaptiva helped us with network bandwidth optimization and content delivery. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.
VivekKumar10 - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution supports seamless integration and promotes effective device management
For technical support of Citrix, I find they are responsive, but L1 is not very capable; this product requires some mature understanding, so sometimes they can handle small problems, but for major or architecture-related issues, their L3 or our L3 engineer helps them understand the problem.I would assess the technical support of Citrix as a seven from 1 to 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The compliance and configuration policies in Microsoft Intune are the most valuable features, saving significant time compared to manual implementation."
"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Intune is the detection and remediation script capability."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"Microsoft Intune simplifies device management by replacing the traditional method of installing OS, joining a domain, and configuring everything manually."
"If any user tries to access company data, it directly interacts with the conditional access policy. This helps us protect our data and set the criteria for how data can be accessed and shared."
"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"One key feature is secure application delivery, which enables the secure delivery of mobile and web applications to end-user devices. This ensures data protection and compliance with corporate policies."
"ShareFile, in particular, is valuable with its ease of sharing, and the best category security that is in the hands of users."
"Users can log in anytime, anywhere, using any device, which is a significant advantage."
"We have found the ability to manage user accounts on shared devices valuable as it reduces the need for multiple licenses, which saves costs."
"The product is capable of acting in many different ways to help secure architecture."
"We have seen improvements in compliance management on the devices."
"A valuable feature of Citrix Endpoint Management is that it's stable. The stability is not a challenge among the move to the cloud."
"For mail containerization, Citrix Endpoint Management is very good, for document reading is very good, and if I have in-house applications, then if I want to publish them without compromising the data, then it's very good."
 

Cons

"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Microsoft Intune lacks the ability to provide seamless remote assistance or remote control."
"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"Not all technicians are knowledgeable of the Microsoft solution, so they have to work on that as well."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The reporting causes problems because we're trying to gather data to present to the management, but we can't get the data they request. If a user has removed an application from his device, but it won't report it at exactly the right time. It takes time to sync from the device to the portal. Let's say we are preparing a list or deck for the number of compliant devices that meet all of the organization's requirements. In a real-time scenario, that device could be compliant, but it is showing as non-compliant on the portal. It sometimes hampers the overall decisions that we make on our end."
"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"The iOS version updates do not work as well as I would like."
"Citrix often depends on other services like backend data centers, network security, and application firewalls. Issues in these areas can be misinterpreted as Citrix issues by users."
"I would rate Citrix Endpoint Management as two out of ten overall, due to the policy changes and the lack of significant features or stability improvements."
"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."
"Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."
"The support provided by Citrix needs improvement."
"For technical support of Citrix, I find they are responsive, but L1 is not very capable; this product requires some mature understanding, so sometimes they can handle small problems, but for major or architecture-related issues, their L3 or our L3 engineer helps them understand the problem."
"The iOS version updates do not work as well as I would like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"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."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"The price is very reasonable."
Information not available
"The licensing costs vary depending on the customer and the licensing model. We have three main types: per-user, subscription, and concurrent user licenses, plus a user-based model."
