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.

Offers scalability and ability to create granular policies

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 In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior. I have been using it for five…

Has consistently offered in-depth customization and reliable patch management across environments

The most valuable features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager are its customization options for the agent, as you can customize patching cycle settings, maintenance windows, and reboot policies. Within a device group, all these settings can be customized based on the agents. The user interface of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is very practical and easy to understand, providing comprehensive information without clutter. It is simple enough for me to conduct a knowledge session for teammates, and they quickly grasp where each option is located. Regarding automated patch management, it allows me to download patches without manual intervention. Whenever a fresh list of patches is available on the server, I can schedule a task that automatically pulls all the new patches, but I prefer to manually control the deployment of these patches. Reporting in Ivanti Endpoint Manager allows me to create LDAP-based queries, and once I have a bit of knowledge, I can build my queries to determine what version of Chrome is installed on how many devices. It provides CSV files that serve as raw data for building reports, and I can set it to automatically email reports on a weekly or monthly basis as per my schedule.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The mobile device management is very useful."

"Intune significantly simplifies application deployment, mobile application management, and policy enforcement, such as restricting user access to specific applications, thereby enhancing overall environment security."

"Microsoft Intune has definitely reduced management burdens."

"I would rate the overall solution as a 10."

"Third party integrations are very convenient to use with Microsoft Intune."

"The management control feature is the most valuable."

"The most useful features in Microsoft Intune are the policy enforcement and conditional access. These features make our operations easier from a company perspective."

"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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 terminal remediation feature is valuable."

"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."

"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."

"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 valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."

"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."

"What I appreciate most about Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it's easy to enroll the device, the patch is very impressive, and the patching part of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is much easier compared to InTune, where in InTune, you have to create the app deployment, but Ivanti Endpoint Manager makes it much easier to update any patch, patch updates, and application updates."

"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10."

"The Ivanti Endpoint Manager allows us to perform rollouts, starting small with a group of devices and expanding to a larger set of devices, and it provides the ability to download updates while pinpointing which updates we need and don't need."

"The product saves time and money."

"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."

"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."

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager pros

Cons

"We do not utilize Microsoft customer service and technical support since it is generally a waste of time."

"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."

"There are challenges with Intune, specifically in reporting. Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive. You can connect to Azure, monitoring, and the workbooks, but it's not streamlined."

"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."

"There could be more competent processes and improvements in the policy space."

"Historically, Group Policy has simplified the management of various items, such as printer and drive mappings and while Intune offers workarounds, it lacks native support for these functionalities."

"While no specific feature requires immediate improvement, the ongoing expansion of reporting and inventory capabilities promises to enhance its utility."

"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."

"The tool's stability could be better."

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."

"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."

"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."

"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."

"The reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."

"When it comes to the reporting part, it needs to be improved. The executive reports and the deployment reports can be more improvised."

"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."

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."

"I don't have any problem as far as cost is concerned. It is bundled with our license."

"The pricing needs improvement."

"If you're subscribing to Premium or E3, there are no additional costs for Intune, it's included."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"Other than the standard licensing fee, there aren't any additional or hidden costs, although I believe Avalanche could be made more affordable in general."

"Although the solution is a bit costly in my opinion, for customers who really need this solution, Ivanti Avalanche is worth it."

"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."

"You will need to purchase licenses for each device."

"The license is based on assets. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
