A tool that offers great functionalities to manage reboot and patching
Right now, I don't have anything to say about which areas in BMC Client Management need improvement. The solution does not offer the functionality of remote access to users. From an improvement perspective, it would be great if a remote access functionality was added to BMC Client Management. I want something similar to Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) in BMC Client Management.

Automated onboarding has saved hundreds of hours and now standardizes device security globally
In terms of how Ivanti Neurons for UEM can be improved, I think there's potential for automation of some repetitive tasks. The device provisioning process has already become very close to zero-touch, but the patch deployment is still scheduled and policy-driven. As a result, I believe we can reduce endpoint administration further. I also think the number of integrations and the scalability of the tool can be improved, along with customer service, as we've encountered some issues in certain countries. Regarding the needed improvements, particularly concerning integrations or customer service challenges, we have had problems with integration with some third-party tools requiring additional configuration and testing. Occasionally, we also experienced delays between systems, particularly with user group changes and device compliance updates. The accuracy and reliability of output from Ivanti's AI can be improved. We notice that the AI-driven insights are useful, but there are anomalies and some false positives. Since we are still in a validation period, I cannot provide a definitive mark, but I believe that accuracy should be enhanced, especially for more complex and environment-specific issues where human intervention is still needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One feature I like, that was especially valuable during the pandemic, is remote control. Remote control grants administrators and support personnel access to the laptops and PCs of employees (who might be working from home) in order to fix any issues that come up as and when they come up, even without having to wait for a support request."
"It's a scalable solution. We have deployed it for customers using 3000 nodes to those using 300,000 nodes."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its patching capabilities and the help it offers when it comes to use cases, like prompting for the reboot after a certain period of time."
"The solution provides multiple features in one place."
"BMC Client Management is a stable solution and one of the best in the market. It allows me to manage all recipe endpoints, including iOS, Android, Linux, Unix, and Windows, all within the same solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are patch management and software license management."
"The support from BMC Client Management is very good."
"One of our customers is a financial institution with more than 15,000 endpoints, and we use BMC Client Management to manage their regulatory compliance needs, manage the endpoints from a security perspective, and integrate it with service management as well."
"I experience every day how the unified platform has really optimized IT and security operations processes since patch management automatically patches the vulnerabilities."
"A positive impact of using Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management on my organization is the ability to perform mass updates in the environment, as today we are able to update hundreds of thousands of computers at once."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"By moving to Intune, they were able to save the complete cost for Ivanti Neurons for UEM and put it towards something they were already paying for, and additionally they improved enrollment deployment time significantly and now can deploy laptops in an hour and even give the task to end users."
"The remote device management feature has helped our remote work strategy because manual intervention is not needed, allowing us to have real-time insights, policy enforcement, and strong security with patch management."
"Ivanti Neurons for UEM has positively impacted my organization by saving time and improving efficiency."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"From the reporting we receive, we perform patching updates every week with no tickets or complaints from users saying they dislike it or their computers were abruptly restarted."
 

Cons

"BMC Client Management could improve in the area of integration."
"The on-premises version of BMC Client Management has powerful remote control functionality and decent compliance features, but these features both rely on the discovery tool in order to gain a complete set of insights about the endpoint's environment. Now, BMC's discovery solution depends on having an agent installed in each endpoint and sometimes the agent doesn't work properly, making it difficult to get an accurate understanding of the environment (including special topologies) even with BMC's discovery tool."
"The solution needs to add whitelisting because many customers request it."
"BMC Client Management supports only iOS devices. It would be good if they would support Android as well."
"The solution does not offer the functionality of remote access to users."
"In BMC Client Management, I would like to see more features for executing commands remotely. For example, with SAP, there isn't the capability to execute all the commands available in the console. The latest version includes more endpoints, but they do not cover everything the operations team needs. Additionally, I think improving the hierarchy for managing endpoints is crucial. Extending the endpoint capabilities would be highly beneficial."
"It would be good if BMC Client Management can perform vulnerability assessment scanning at the endpoint on its own and mitigate that. Then, we wouldn't have to rely on a third party VA tool. I would like to see this application move to being a web-based one."
"Sometimes there is a lag with the environment, and we need to refresh before using it."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"An improvement Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management needs is a dashboard that shows which devices are not in sync or a proper dashboard that displays all telemetries related to machines with high CPU, RAM, missing patches, or those needing attention, or a health check."
"I have not seen a return on investment with Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management."
"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."
"Regarding Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management agent in general, it can seem somewhat laggy."
"Regarding how Ivanti Neurons for UEM can be improved, the dashboard can be quite complex for first-time users and even small-scale organizations."
"I noticed one thing when comparing Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management with other software in the market, such as Cherwell, where we can see the rating of the person. In Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management, I feel the individual ratings and feedback feature is missing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Client Management is a very affordable solution. There is one main server license which I believe is around $1,000 per year, and then there is the license for the actual solution. With the solution license, you can opt for a suite license where you get access to all the features and benefits, or alternatively you can buy any of the five main components of the suite license individually."
"To use BMC Client Management they charge annually per node."
"The solution is low cost."
"BMC Client Management is a high-priced solution, but given its performance and capabilities, I think it offers great value. I don't have the exact number for the yearly licensing costs. I believe there is an additional cost of around two hundred dollars."
"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"The solution is affordable."
"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
