Varun Mehra - PeerSpot reviewer
collaboration support engineer at a retailer with 11-50 employees
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.

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

"Intune's feature that I have found most valuable is its auto-pilot feature."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"Advanced endpoint analytics provides granular information about devices in Microsoft Intune, facilitating easier troubleshooting at system and application levels."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data loss prevention, which is really a benefit of the platform in general."
"I have been using the Enterprise Application Management feature of Microsoft Intune, which enhances abilities when it comes to app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"I would rate the overall solution as a 10."
"The product is capable of acting in many different ways to help secure architecture."
"I still think XenMobile MDM is a leading solution for Mobile Device Management but its bundling with the other XenMobile Apps and NetScaler makes it very difficult to implement."
"A valuable feature of Citrix Endpoint Management is that it's stable."
"A valuable feature of Citrix Endpoint Management is that it's stable. The stability is not a challenge among the move to the cloud."
"Users can log in anytime, anywhere, using any device, which is a significant advantage."
"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."
"We have seen improvements in compliance management on the devices."
"I really like the solution and have supported it for years, as it meets customers' requirements and is seen by many Endpoint Management users as a stable, capable platform with constantly improving features."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

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

Cons

"Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view."
"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"I have not been satisfied with it, and I am planning to change it soon. There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"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 tool’s battery usage was high."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. But we have seen battery life is slightly drained faster."
"The Multi-Tenant component (MTC) was very finicky to get up and running and upgrades was hit and miss."
"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."
"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."
"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."
"Doesn't yet support Android devices natively, though that is coming."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"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."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"We have a limited budget for security investments, so Microsoft should consider reducing pricing in our region. This would make investment more viable, especially since larger businesses in other countries can afford it easily."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
