Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment.""It is a very helpful solution.""If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good.""It's easy to manage.""Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment.""Among the most valuable features are the Company Portal that is built into Intune, and the update rings so that we can manage what types of future updates the devices get.""It is a stable solution.""We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer.""The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility.""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.""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 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."

More Ivanti Avalanche Pros →

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use.""The company provides great customer service.""The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration.""The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage.""The user interface is user-friendly."

Cons
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar.""It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing.""Regarding mobile devices, Intune is good, but there are other services that I would say are ahead of Intune from an administration and reporting point of view.""It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes.""Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved.""They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard.""The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients.""The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"The tool's stability could be better.""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.""There is a lack of flexibility.""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."

More Ivanti Avalanche Cons →

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler.""The interface is complicated and not very easy to use.""MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices.""UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated.""The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

Microsoft Intune provides both the flexibility and the control needed for securing all your data on the cloud, no matter where the device with the data is located.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

    Avalanche is rooted in managing the mobile computers that drive the supply chain. As those devices have evolved, Avalanche has continued to keep pace. So, whether you have legacy Windows CE devices deployed in your warehouse, or are looking to extend mobility to the showroom with today’s latest Android and iOS devices, Avalanche can manage them all.
