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.

Centralized device control has reduced data costs and protects lost mobiles and tablets
Synchronization is a problem sometimes, and I suggest that IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson should improve by making the user interface more user-friendly. It feels pretty average, which gives a hard time for new users. It should be more user-friendly and intuitive. IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson should reduce the cost of the per-device subscription, because when you have a lot of devices like our organization has, it becomes pretty expensive to manage all the devices. It should also allow simplified device management. The cost reduction of 30 to 40% is primarily from reduced device losses, less manual work for admins, and other factors. The more devices you have to manage, the more the cost, especially because they bill per device. In our case, IBM Security MaaS360 can be a bit expensive. It could be less expensive for a small organization dealing with a few devices. The setting is slightly complicated because of the unintuitive interface.

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

"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"Microsoft Tech Support is good, providing solid support."
"Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune as eight out of ten."
"It's really easy to access."
"The user experience is good; we could work and deploy many controls through Microsoft Intune."
"It helps us manage user certificates."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"Cloud-based device management is the best feature for me as it impacts my company the most; it is much easier than the previous Configuration Manager or SCCM."
"Everything since we started using IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson has been phenomenal, especially security, which has improved overall on our devices and our data."
"IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to manage all our devices in one place, settle all the issues remotely through troubleshooting, and it allows the AI feature for reporting."
"IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson has positively impacted our organization by improving our security posture through effectively managing and securing mobile devices, apps, and content."
"Patch management is one of the greatest features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager because we have Rollout Projects in the Management Console that we are using for the patching process."
"The main benefits of Ivanti Endpoint Manager include patch management and security benefits such as vulnerability management, and it is particularly useful for managing devices in a centralized console."
"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 best feature that Ivanti Endpoint Manager offers is remote desktop management, which allows viewing a user's screen."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10."
"The license cost is lower than other products in the market."
"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better integration with Microsoft."
"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 most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"We are facing issues with Apple products. With macOS and iOS, there are some difficulties with the updates because we cannot get full control of Apple products. In the case of Windows, it is fine, but in the case of Apple, we have some difficulties. We cannot control everything through Intune."
"I'd like to see an ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"Cost can also be a challenge, as this tool may come with a significant cost, particularly for organizations managing a large number of devices."
"Synchronization is a problem sometimes, and I suggest that IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson should improve by making the user interface more user-friendly."
"One area IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson can be improved is that once a device is lost, I have to continue to pay for the license, which should be looked upon and configured otherwise."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"For larger environments such as ours, the pricing for the Ivanti Endpoint Manager should be more competitive considering how much we pay every year, making it a constant challenge to get the product and license renewed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft licenses are costly."
"Most of our clients come to us with licensing already in place. On average, it costs $6 per device per month to add Intune to an Office 365 subscription, but I am not sure."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."
