Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization
Using Adaptiva is really straightforward. Users need to have some end-user computing and networking knowledge to use the solution. The project or implementation team we worked with had good technical knowledge. I really liked the solution's performance. Adaptiva helped us with network bandwidth optimization and content delivery. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.

Automation has reduced repetitive endpoint maintenance and keeps our educational devices compliant
Every software has some drawbacks and cons. For Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management, I think the first improvement I would suggest is to simplify initial configuration. The process to make endpoint enrollment, device grouping, and configuration easier, particularly for organizations managing different categories of devices, would be helpful. If the initial configuration is simplified, better workflows for shared computers, labs, faculty workstations, and administrative devices would make it easier to apply different software and security policies without duplicating configuration. For my work, I would suggest one improvement that would make my experience with Ivanti smoother than before. I would want Ivanti to clearly explain the root cause when something fails, such as when a patch deployment or automated remediation fails. It shows the error code, but when we are doing a lot of work, it kind of makes a lot of hassle to read the documentation or ask an AI what kind of error it is facing. My recommendation here is to show the issue, show the full explanation of how it is working, where it failed, and show whether the issue can be safely resolved automatically without needing a third party. I think it needs a lot of improvement. First of all, centralized management and scalability can be improved, particularly the ability to manage endpoint configuration, which would be more helpful for my field of work. Regarding scalability, centralized deployment and policy enforcement can help maintain consistency across larger device fleets without configuring every endpoint individually. I think another improvement would be detailed failure diagnostics, flexible maintenance scheduling, controlled policy rollouts, and clearer reporting on whether the fix will cause any issues.

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 Microsoft Intune include remote updates. The update runs in the background, so there's no need in most cases to go on-site to do it."
"Before having Intune, we didn't have the capability to have computers wiped, couldn't manage the operating system from a central location, and weren't able to deploy policies and verify software updates, and it's helped with software update needs, operating system version update needs, and security policy enforcement."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"The main value of Microsoft Intune is better asset management from a security perspective, ensuring that the security baseline is enforced on all devices, including mobile devices."
"The user experience is good; we could work and deploy many controls through Microsoft Intune."
"It's easy to manage."
"Microsoft Intune brings all our endpoint and security management tools into one place, acting as a comprehensive solution where we can manage numerous devices and configuration profiles, and block specific URLs, among many other capabilities."
"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"We manage over 1,000 new devices per year, saving more than 1,500 hours of manual IT work annually."
"A positive impact of using Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management on my organization is the ability to perform mass updates in the environment, as today we are able to update hundreds of thousands of computers at once."
"The technical support from Ivanti is good."
"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"Ivanti Neurons for UEM has positively impacted my organization by enabling faster patch deployment, quicker identification of non-compliant devices, and less time spent on manual endpoint administration."
"I experience every day how the unified platform has really optimized IT and security operations processes since patch management automatically patches the vulnerabilities."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
 

Cons

"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"Almost every day during the initial deployment, I would chat with technical support for solutions. They did not give me a suitable solution to solve the false positive alarms."
"Those are the two features that did not impress me much, and currently with other customers I am improving them with Microsoft directly."
"I personally work in a Samsung Android environment and there's a lot more feature support in other EMMs."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved by providing more detailed and easier-to-navigate reporting and troubleshooting, especially when diagnosing policy failures."
"The MacBook management could be better."
"The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune."
"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management can be improved by ensuring it runs a little more smoothly. It should not lag every single time I have to open a window, and it should not take so much time to load a lot of data."
"I also found the UI to be quite complicated to work with, so it takes quite a bit of time to train any new staff and to get them to understand how the solution works."
"The price being quite high and the limited container storage are areas that have room for improvement."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."
"Regarding how Ivanti Neurons for UEM can be improved, the dashboard can be quite complex for first-time users and even small-scale organizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"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."
"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"The product is offered as part of a Microsoft standard bundle. The pricing can be competitive to Airwatch, and Maas360."
Information not available
"The solution is affordable."
"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."
