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.
Nathan  Piratheepan - PeerSpot reviewer
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…

Efficient patch and asset management with room for reporting enhancements
One of the best things about Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that the agents it uses are very lightweight, so they don’t slow down our systems. It also gives us great visibility during deployments—we can see exactly what’s happening and collect all the necessary data. The system shows us codes that help us understand what’s going on in each environment. For example, every month we roll out patches, and monitoring is a big part of that. We can check the status of each machine without having to log into them individually. It also helps us troubleshoot issues by showing the exact error codes, which makes fixing problems much easier. Ivanti also lets us organize our servers and devices in a way that makes sense for us—by operating system, group, or IP address. This helps us manage everything more efficiently. Patching is one of our main tasks, and Ivanti gives us detailed information about each patch. Another great part is the training and support Ivanti offers. The training helps us learn how to use all the features, and the support team is always there when we need help. Since we work in a large environment, Ivanti is a great fit—it’s built to handle big setups and makes it easy to group and manage everything. We even use it to deploy our own in-house apps, not just third-party software.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune provides a centralized management solution, although its suitability depends on specific needs and comparisons with alternatives like Jamf, Kandji, or ManageEngine."
"One valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is the enrollment process, which is user-based, making it easier to manage compared to AirWatch."
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"We are transforming our flat network by adopting different cloud solutions, and our own applications are hosted in the cloud. Intune ensures our security throughout our entire cloud-based system, improving our security posture."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is that it is more of a one-stop shop, providing an easier experience."
"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."
"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."
"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."
"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 valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"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 best features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager are that the agents are very light, and the deployment monitoring is very good."
"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."
"The product saves time and money."
"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."
 

Cons

"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Since the devices are configured over the Internet, whatever policy we apply from the compliance portal does not reflect immediately on the endpoint."
"We've faced significant pushback with Copilot as our clients aren't seeing a favorable cost-benefit analysis."
"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."
"Technical support is not that great."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
"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 tool's stability could be better."
"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."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"When it comes to the reporting part, it needs to be improved. The executive reports and the deployment reports can be more improvised."
"The reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."
"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you ask the accountant or the finance department, they'll tell you that it is way too expensive, but when I look at the cost and compare it with the value you actually get, it's more than fair."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."
"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"Although the solution is a bit costly in my opinion, for customers who really need this solution, Ivanti Avalanche is worth it."
"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."
"The license is based on assets. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."
"You will need to purchase licenses for each device."
