Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

A solid low-code builder that helps build workflows and processes in a variety of settings

It's not complex, but you need certified skills for setup to be easy. It is different for an L1 resource, who has a basic understanding of things and may not be a developer who deeply understands how to build up the solution, where that understanding is present with an L3 or L2 resource. For maintenance, you need at least one skill set for each module. You would need one for UEM and one more for MDM, which is the ideal way to do it unless you have people who know the modules in and out. We have a larger team for IT service management because the demand for IT service management is high, but we can see that for other modules as well now.

It is a complete and competitive solution with excellent OEM support

Matrix42 is a complete solution in terms of functionality. Still, you need to understand whether it's also capable of managing Kubernetes containers to that extent, and this is not very clear in the product fact sheet. It’s possible with Ivanti MobileIron, though, and Matrix42 seems to be one step behind in this aspect. Likewise, in terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42 to integrate with more third-party tools compared to Ivanti, which has a larger number of integrations due to its size. MobileIron is an older product that has evolved over time, offering advantages in terms of readily available third-party APIs and integrations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Without Microsoft Intune, it would be extremely challenging, if not impossible, for a large company to send out computers to users and have them set up and ready to use right out of the box in a remote location."

"Intune makes it possible for us to reach all the endpoints and have them protected at all times."

"When managing a large number of devices in an organization, it becomes easy to handle them on one platform using Microsoft Intune."

"The most valuable feature is that we can manage workstations or Android devices remotely without needing the device to be connected to our local network."

"The ability to manage devices over the cloud is a big benefit, as devices now receive updates regardless of location."

"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."

"Microsoft Intune is a good solution and it is purely based on Azure cloud, so I can use all the benefits of Azure cloud in Microsoft Intune and several good features in Microsoft Intune to manage devices."

"Microsoft Intune is extremely important from a security perspective to ensure devices are compliant and gives us the efficiency to deploy apps automatically to a large number of users without the need for interaction from a client side, which is always helpful."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."

"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."

"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is cloud-based, which aids in deployment."

"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."

"Ivanti is really good. They have a very good vulnerability database in which even if it is used for other products like BMC or Microsoft, the vulnerabilities and patching database is well filtered and very well documented."

"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."

"The product has good stability."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system if you have your software packages set up via SCCM, as it automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."

Cons

"The generic answer to what can be improved is that I hope that the reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."

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

"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."

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

"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."

"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."

"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."

"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."

"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."

"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu."

"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."

"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."

"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."

"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager cons

"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42."

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."

"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."

"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."

"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."

"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."

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

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is based on assets for MDM or EM, where you need one license per asset. The license is annual, and it is not very expensive."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."

"The pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution is pretty expensive."
