We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity and Ivanti Avalanche based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It is a stable solution."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."
"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."
"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."
"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."
"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"I want the tool to improve its support. It should also incorporate some functionalities. Currently, preparing presentations in Google is a pain point. The tool’s certain features like user provisioning are not intuitive as well. The product’s LDAP support is very poor. Clients do not trust the product due to the spam."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"Technical support is slow."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"The solution's storage capacity could be increased."
"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
"The tool's stability could be better."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
