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…

Great features with very good function management

Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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, but by using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click."

"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."

"Ivanti Avalanche has reduced the time needed to perform updates on all the devices across our clients' organizations; it's a great time-saver for the client."

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

"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."

"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."

"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."

"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."

"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."

"Microsoft Intune scales very effectively with our growing needs."

"Maturity makes it a stable product."

"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."

"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."

"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."

More Microsoft Intune pros

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."

"However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."

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

"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper."

"The tool's stability could be better."

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

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"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."

"Lacks a factory reset feature."

"In terms of the admin experience, it is straightforward, but the Windows enrollment experience could be improved. Sometimes, for enrollment, we have to reset devices and re-enroll them. Just configuring Windows, Azure, or Active Directory doesn't enroll the devices. We need easy enrollment for Windows."

"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."

"Each feature has a separate license, making logistics and cost management difficult if not strategically bundled together."

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

"Setting up Intune Autopilot can be a little complicated."

"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."

"I would like Intune to natively support easier report generation. This improvement would enable less experienced staff to run reports more efficiently without relying on additional tools or functions."

"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."

More Microsoft Intune cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

Information not available

"The Intune license model is costly."

"It comes as a bundle, so you do not really know what the prices are. Microsoft does not break it down to the user cost for us. It is just bundled with our E5 license."

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."

"We are partners, so we receive some discount. However, from the customer's perspective, Microsoft Intune's pricing is competitive with non-Microsoft technology, and the price is good compared to other market competitors."

"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."

"The solution is cost-efficient."

"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."

"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
