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.

Centralized management simplifies software distribution and patch management

From the features perspective, distribution packages is the best feature in the Ivanti Endpoint Manager. We create tasks for patching or distributing software, appliances, or MSA files and schedule them. We create repair groups, push appliances, create drives, and map shared drives to distribution packages. It distributes the groups included in those packages across our entire network. It is easy to deploy appliances or applications, including OS to workstations within a single click. We can see any missing patches or vulnerabilities. It is very useful for troubleshooting and identifying patches, whether missing or installed. I would suggest including an option to manage multiple clients in future releases. For example, as a managed service provider, if I use Ivanti Endpoint Manager for one client, can I deploy or use the same server to manage other clients or multiple sites or region clients? That feature would be beneficial for managing multiple domains within a single appliance.

Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged

The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

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 aspect of the product is data loss prevention, which is really a benefit of the platform in general."

"The solution is easy to use and it has good performance."

"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."

"Microsoft Intune saves eight hours per day, and during my work hours, I use my time to study and run tests on configurations I'm curious about and try them out in my environment."

"Overall, the best features of Microsoft Intune are its ease of management and robust security protocols, which are what I value most about it and how it stands out."

"When comparing Microsoft Intune to Jamf, Microsoft Intune is superior."

"Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow."

"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The main benefits of Ivanti Endpoint Manager include patch management and security benefits such as vulnerability management, and it is particularly useful for managing devices in a centralized console."

"The product saves time and money."

"The license cost is lower than other products in the market."

"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."

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

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

"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."

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager pros

"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM pros

Cons

"The security features should be improved."

"The support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."

"There could be more features added. For me, as I mentioned, one area is the reporting. If the reporting became better, I think you would not need to use more RMMs."

"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."

"The reports aren't complete, and it's not easy to build custom reports. For example, Windows Autopilot isn't working well in cases where the computers don't have a good internet connection. Then the option is not good enough."

"Customer service used to be better. In the last couple of years, support has not been very good, even with Premier and Premium support. It's been very hit-or-miss."

"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019."

"The only drawback or challenge is that it does not support server deployment."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"Despite the good features, I would suggest improvements in the console interface of the Ivanti Endpoint Manager as it appears outdated, reminiscent of the early 2000s."

"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."

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

"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."

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

"Improvements could be made in creating collections and enhancing patch packaging."

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

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager cons

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"As a partner, we always look for how we can generate more revenue from a consulting point of view, but I do not see any complaints from the customer side regarding pricing, so they are satisfied with it."

"The product is expensive."

"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."

"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."

"It is reasonable for the features it has."

"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
