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.

Centralized mobile management has reduced manual work and now secures apps, data, and access
Ivanti Endpoint Manager offers excellent features, working well with both iOS and Android, positioning itself as a market leader and providing a range of deployment features, including quick deployment of business apps, configuration profiles, compliance profiles, password policies, iOS and Android upgrades, and jailbreak device detection. The speed at which Ivanti Endpoint Manager deploys apps and configurations significantly impacts my daily operations, saving my IT team time and allowing them to utilize their effort in other activities. Deploying an app to 100 devices only requires pushing it through Ivanti Endpoint Manager, and once the device is online, it auto-installs the configuration item. Ivanti Endpoint Manager provides features for Apple DEP devices including Apple auto enrollment and integrates well with Zero-Touch for Android, allowing new devices to be preconfigured for out-of-box experiences and OS level security to be controlled, enhancing my management capabilities. Ivanti Endpoint Manager has positively impacted my organization as it is my main tool for managing mobile devices, reducing IT effort, ensuring devices needing updates receive the proper updates, and blacklisting non-compliant devices. It deploys configuration items including Wi-Fi profiles, SCEP profiles, root certificates, app-related profiles, and DLP policies to safeguard my infrastructure from malicious access. I have seen a reduction in time spent on device management because Ivanti Endpoint Manager automates small tasks and supports scripts, saving my IT employees time and effort compared to manual management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The most important part is that they're fast in implementing and integrating with the Windows operating system, as well as how it integrates with other Office 365 products."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"Intune is the best tool going forward because everyone is moving to the cloud."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"We can manage identity, devices, email security, Exchange security, and data protection all under one umbrella."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"Adaptiva is really good in terms of content delivery and network bandwidth optimization."
"The best features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager are that the agents are very light, and the deployment monitoring is very good."
"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."
"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."
"The product saves time and money."
"Patch management is one of the greatest features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager because we have Rollout Projects in the Management Console that we are using for the patching process."
"The best feature that Ivanti Endpoint Manager offers is remote desktop management, which allows viewing a user's screen."
"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."
"The license cost is lower than other products in the market."
 

Cons

"The granular support for other device types in Microsoft Intune could be improved."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"My experience with them was very bad. They don't know about their own product."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"It can improve for new users; in the starting phase, we found that the logs are too complex or scattered."
"Intune could be improved by organizing different solutions, like Defender and Sentinel, into a single package. This would allow us to focus on security while Microsoft manages other areas. Having a unified solution would drive better management of various sectors. Although the Intune user experience is good, we should continue enhancing it."
"It needs certificate provisioning for S/MIME purposes."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"It would be good if Adaptiva had everything on the cloud rather than having one server on-premises."
"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."
"For larger environments such as ours, the pricing for the Ivanti Endpoint Manager should be more competitive considering how much we pay every year, making it a constant challenge to get the product and license renewed."
"It is disappointing that Ivanti has removed these features from the on-prem version to encourage migration to the cloud feature."
"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."
"Ivanti Endpoint Manager can improve support for Mac and Windows devices, as it currently excels with iOS and Android."
"Improvements could be made in creating collections and enhancing patch packaging."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"The pricing is inherently reasonable, as Microsoft leverages market insights to maintain the total cost of ownership at around ninety to ninety-five percent of what would be incurred in an on-premise scenario."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
