Featured Reviews

Varun Mehra

Collaboration Support Engineer at a retailer with 11-50 employees

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.

Director - Sales & Operations - India at Intertec Systems

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.

Mairajuddin Ahmed

Division Manager, Information Technology at a legal firm with 51-200 employees

Centralized policies have improved remote endpoint control and have simplified data visibility

The integration is not simple and easy. It requires experienced users or people who have done the implementation. When certain policies are applied, they do not immediately push the policies. For example, we manage endpoint device USB access. We set a policy to block it, but it does not come into effect immediately. Sometimes it takes three or four days for it to reflect. That is a pain point. I have raised this issue with support as well, but they said that I need to limit the number of devices in the policy. In terms of application deployment, for us, it was seamless.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune is valuable for managing various endpoints and integrating with the Azure cloud, which is essential for our organization."

"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."

"I have no issues with the scalability and ability to expand Microsoft Intune."

"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."

"It significantly reduces the overhead associated with providing support."

"I have been using the Enterprise Application Management feature of Microsoft Intune, which enhances abilities when it comes to app discovery, deployment, and automatic updating."

"It is very easy for me to configure all the things. Once I create policies and applications in Intune, it is very easy for us to enroll users."

"I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others; it is a very good and scalable solution."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."

"The product has good stability."

"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."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager pros

"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."

"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."

"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."

"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."

"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."

"Tanium is stable and it is also lightweight."

"Tanium’s best features include support for any Windows, Linux, or Mac endpoint, regardless of where it is, and the ability to do IT operations and security operations."

"For inventory purposes, it's from one of the best things on the scene, as you can get live inventory."

More Tanium pros

Cons

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."

"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."

"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."

"If you wish to block any App Store application, there is no way to do so."

"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."

"The MacBook management could be better."

"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."

"There is always a noise when you are going to manage any endpoint devices, and noise is definitely there with this solution."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"It could benefit from faster integration with new technologies, such as quicker adaptation to Windows updates. Additionally, more advanced customization options would be valuable."

"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."

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

"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

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

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

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

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

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager cons

"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."

"There are downsides and drawbacks in Tanium, and there is room for improvement from my perspective."

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."

"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium."

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."

"The problem or challenge is a pre-sales and go-to strategy for the SMB market delivered through a channel or model. It's very convoluted and vague, which leads to some confusion about the various types of modules, and the device-to-seat cost is extremely difficult to calculate."

More Tanium cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."

"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."

"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."

"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."

"The product is expensive."

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."

"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"

"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The solution is pretty expensive."

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

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

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

"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 product is expensive."

"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."

"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."

"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."

"The solution offers value for money."

"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
