Director at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
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

"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"Ivanti Neurons for UEM has positively impacted my organization by saving time and improving efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"Ivanti's unified platform for IT and security operations helps streamline processes, especially because the manual intervention of having to constantly monitor, update, and maintain endpoints and applications has significantly reduced by leveraging Ivanti Neurons for UEM."
"Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management has had a significant positive impact on my organization, particularly in reducing manual endpoint management efforts and moving from reactive support to proactive remediation."
"Ivanti Neurons for UEM has impacted the organization positively by improving user experience, supporting the IT team by allowing them to resolve issues remotely without disrupting employees' activities, and providing visibility into system issues without extensive troubleshooting, which has improved productivity within the IT team and enhanced our overall user experience."
"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."
"One of the features I found very nice in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is that it's good at scanning and fixing issues on its own."
"The user interface is good. Managing and monitoring tools are also good."
"One of the features I found very nice in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is that it's good at scanning and fixing issues on its own. The solution is very good at finding a lot of applications and notifying you about systems that have issues. Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile can run headless without having to report back which I found very nice about it. I also like that the solution would create alerts when a certain amount of time lapsed for systems, and it would recommend going through and scanning the systems. As an actual endpoint protection product, Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is good."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to power up a device and wipe the data remotely."
"Integration is good. You can integrate them with an off-brand endpoint solution. It has quite a few integration features you can use."
"Your endpoint protection depends on the signature piece, so it's mainly for virus and malware protection, as well as also to control devices and applications."
"The solution has a lot of extremely useful features, is reliable and makes search engines more powerful, and the user interface, managing, and monitoring tools are also good."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is very easy to deploy, and it is really easy to set up the policies."
 

Cons

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"In terms of areas for improvement, we have a lot of problems with the console. After they do upgrades, there are always some issues; they probably do not beta test enough."
"The ticket resolution workflow requires duplicate documentation, which does not add value and increases the time required to process tickets."
"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."
"I also found the UI to be quite complicated to work with, so it takes quite a bit of time to train any new staff and to get them to understand how the solution works."
"The biggest improvement I would like to see in Ivanti Neurons for UEM is a more intuitive interface with simpler navigation for common tasks."
"The price is too expensive for the Egyptian market here. Compared to other products or the other competition here in the local market, they need to be more competitive cost-wise."
"For a lot of the issues my team experienced from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile, Symantec said that getting the issues resolved would mean going through the partner that sold the product and creating an incident report to get the team to work on the actual company environment. A lot of the problems my team has been having from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile were associated with Outlook for endpoint users who were being locked out of the Outlook application. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is its central web hub, where you're supposed to be able to update all of the endpoints because it wasn't reaching the endpoints. For example, even if the central web hub was able to see the endpoints and do the required scans, whenever you'd go to do a policy change, the policy change wouldn't propagate down to the endpoints. The central web hub allows you to monitor all of your endpoints and allows you to choose actions you'd want to do to each of the endpoints such as pushing down on updates or scanning the system. The problem my team usually gets is that majority of the time, whenever my team would do policy updates, the updates won't propagate down to the users, so it was very inconsistent. Needing to manually go through and scan systems is also an area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile. Currently, there's no way to automate its scanning process. A lot of the other issues started appearing in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile during situations when people wanted to customize different applications. Symantec doesn't like people doing a lot of customizations. For example, the main problem in my company is users losing access to Outlook, but then my team discovered that there was a specific policy set that you could disable, and it would fix a lot of the Outlook issues. However, when you'd go to change that policy set and attach that to a user to overwrite policies on the user side, it just wouldn't do anything for that user. It wouldn't even show that the policy was updated, so this is what needs to be improved in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile."
"Application and device control needs to be improved."
"I'm not sure if there's anything lacking; I personally don't use the solution too much, so I'd have to look at it a bit and do some more research. I'm more on the operation side of things."
"Application and device control needs to be improved. We also need to enhance login features for management to have good visibility of the events."
"When there is an attack attempt on mobile, there doesn't seem to be much of a notification."
"Having better, real-time support would be an improvement over having to send an email."
"It would be nice to have more flexibility regarding deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"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 solution is affordable."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"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."
"You get the solution for free if you purchase the complete endpoint security licensing."
