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.

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.

Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged

The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Autopilot is a feature I really like."

"Microsoft Intune scales very effectively with our growing needs."

"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."

"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."

"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."

"The solution is stable."

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

More Microsoft Intune pros

"ShareFile, in particular, is valuable with its ease of sharing, and the best category security that is in the hands of users."

"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."

"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."

"The MAM applications of the product are great."

"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."

"Users can log in anytime, anywhere, using any device, which is a significant advantage."

More Citrix Endpoint Management pros

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."

"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 features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"The company provides great customer service."

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

Cons

"I rate Microsoft customer service six out of 10. While some technicians go above and beyond, there is inconsistency, and connecting with the most helpful representatives is occasionally challenging."

"From an end-user perspective of Microsoft Intune, I haven't experienced any challenges since installation. However, some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."

"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."

"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."

"Some enrollment features could be improved."

"The user interface should be more user-friendly, as it can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Microsoft often relocates features, making it difficult to consistently find what I need."

"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft."

"Intune should support platforms other than Windows. We have encountered several limitations, especially when handling iOS devices."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

"The iOS version updates do not work as well as I would like."

"Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."

"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."

"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."

"The tool’s battery usage was high."

"The support provided by Citrix needs improvement."

"Citrix needs to improve the architecture. They also need to strengthen the application integration. They keep referring to some things to be required as security, and they keep selling the next level and on-premise separately. They should give the customer the opportunity to decide whether they want to use the next level on-premise or on-cloud, but they should not charge additional fees if the customer wants to deploy the next level on-premise because the customer is already being charged as the end user. They should allow next level on-premise optimization without any additional charges."

More Citrix Endpoint Management cons

"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."

"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

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

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

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."

"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."

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

"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."

"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."

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

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"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."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
