Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

IT Mobility Support Analyst at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Helpful technical support, and performs well, but initial setup could be simplified

They are constantly improving the scalability of BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite. More collaborative features are being developed. I know they have integrations with a lot of other vendors and applications, and it's constantly growing. Our company has approximately 3,000 users. I would say we have ten people for actual administrative roles with Blackberry.

Centralized management simplifies software distribution and patch management

From the features perspective, distribution packages is the best feature in the Ivanti Endpoint Manager. We create tasks for patching or distributing software, appliances, or MSA files and schedule them. We create repair groups, push appliances, create drives, and map shared drives to distribution packages. It distributes the groups included in those packages across our entire network. It is easy to deploy appliances or applications, including OS to workstations within a single click. We can see any missing patches or vulnerabilities. It is very useful for troubleshooting and identifying patches, whether missing or installed. I would suggest including an option to manage multiple clients in future releases. For example, as a managed service provider, if I use Ivanti Endpoint Manager for one client, can I deploy or use the same server to manage other clients or multiple sites or region clients? That feature would be beneficial for managing multiple domains within a single appliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."

"The Autopilot feature is fantastic; it is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."

"The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are."

"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."

"Intune helps the organization manage access to its internal apps, data, and resources."

"The feature of remotely wiping devices in Microsoft Intune is what I prefer the most."

"Its protection policies are most valuable, it protects mobile devices as well as individual apps, it is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good."

"What I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that we can manage multiple devices simultaneously in a single frame of time, and I can manage everything remotely from anywhere."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Provides access to our Lotus Notes system in a controlled and managed manner and is device agnostic with a similar interface for the gamet of devices in the market."

"The most important feature is Blackberry Work, for sure, because that is where you have email."

"The container approach gets you separation between private and corporate data."

"It has allowed us to manage many different mobile device platforms, like Windows 10, Android, Apple, and BlackBerry 10, all through a single pane of glass."

"Having access to our internet was extremely beneficial."

"The security is outstanding."

"There is very high flexibility for different setups of single users, so it can give a single use many different device types with different enrollment types."

"The containerization of the workspace is what we have found to be the most valuable."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."

"The best feature that Ivanti Endpoint Manager offers is remote desktop management, which allows viewing a user's screen."

"What I appreciate most about Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it's easy to enroll the device, the patch is very impressive, and the patching part of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is much easier compared to InTune, where in InTune, you have to create the app deployment, but Ivanti Endpoint Manager makes it much easier to update any patch, patch updates, and application updates."

"The interface is intuitive for administrators to understand patching, package creation, deployment, troubleshooting, remote access, and PowerShell scripting automation."

"The Ivanti Endpoint Manager allows us to perform rollouts, starting small with a group of devices and expanding to a larger set of devices, and it provides the ability to download updates while pinpointing which updates we need and don't need."

"The product saves time and money."

"The best features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager are that the agents are very light, and the deployment monitoring is very good."

"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager pros

Cons

"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."

"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins. We continue to experience issues with machines losing their hybrid domain join status."

"The installation could be improved to be simplified."

"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."

"In Microsoft Intune, there is significant slowness, and there needs to be more logs when we deploy software, parameters, or scripts to troubleshoot problems and errors in the interface, workstations, and Android devices."

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

"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"I would like to see better integration with our AD. Instead of having to use Active Directory groups, we'd like to use Active Directory attributes instead. There is a lot of overhead in managing. Whereas, if we could key on something tied to HR, or some other feed indicating who they are or what role they have, and manage them that way, that would be much preferable than having to manage people with Active Directory groups. Because, if people move roles, then we have to make sure that we move them from one Active Directory group to another, which is hands-on, a lot of overhead."

"The newest features sometimes pop in very slowly."

"The installations on the device could be simpler. It is a good solution, and all the features are there. So, there isn't a lot to improve. I'm sure they already have their thought process on how to improve it."

"It's too difficult to manage ourselves. We have to get a third-party in to do that."

"What we don't have at the moment is RDP from the device to some kind of PC. Another feature would be access to a delegate's mailbox and I think that is to come in one of the next releases. There have been a lot of requests for that type of feature where, for example, a secretary can access the mailbox of the boss."

"The entry level support needs improvement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that we do not have premium support. Therefore, we have to go through Level 1 support for any issues."

"The application is consistent across devices, but the interface is not as robust as you would expect for an enterprise solution."

"As far as being able to remotely wipe a device, or remove it from the console, this is not simple to do. It is not a one-click motion, as it requires several steps."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"When we offboard a user, sending the wipe command or lock command is slightly slower than Workspace ONE, as Workspace ONE automatically processes the lock or device wipe command instantly, while InTune is similar too."

"They should create instructional videos for every feature such as software management and patch management to help beginners who are new to Ivanti Endpoint Manager."

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."

"Improvements could be made in creating collections and enhancing patch packaging."

"When it comes to the reporting part, it needs to be improved. The executive reports and the deployment reports can be more improvised."

"Despite the good features, I would suggest improvements in the console interface of the Ivanti Endpoint Manager as it appears outdated, reminiscent of the early 2000s."

"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."

"The reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."

"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."

"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."

"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."

"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."

"The price could be better."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."

"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."

"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."

"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."

"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."

"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."

"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."

"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."
