OluwashileAdeniyi

Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies

Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

IT Mobility Support Analyst at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Helpful technical support, and performs well, but initial setup could be simplified

They are constantly improving the scalability of BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite. More collaborative features are being developed. I know they have integrations with a lot of other vendors and applications, and it's constantly growing. Our company has approximately 3,000 users. I would say we have ten people for actual administrative roles with Blackberry.

Domenico Pochiero

Senior Product Leader, Sqs at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

Automated onboarding has saved hundreds of hours and now standardizes device security globally

In terms of how Ivanti Neurons for UEM can be improved, I think there's potential for automation of some repetitive tasks. The device provisioning process has already become very close to zero-touch, but the patch deployment is still scheduled and policy-driven. As a result, I believe we can reduce endpoint administration further. I also think the number of integrations and the scalability of the tool can be improved, along with customer service, as we've encountered some issues in certain countries. Regarding the needed improvements, particularly concerning integrations or customer service challenges, we have had problems with integration with some third-party tools requiring additional configuration and testing. Occasionally, we also experienced delays between systems, particularly with user group changes and device compliance updates. The accuracy and reliability of output from Ivanti's AI can be improved. We notice that the AI-driven insights are useful, but there are anomalies and some false positives. Since we are still in a validation period, I cannot provide a definitive mark, but I believe that accuracy should be enhanced, especially for more complex and environment-specific issues where human intervention is still needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have seen a clear ROI with Microsoft Intune; time saved has reduced device setup from three to five hours to thirty minutes, and there is a workload reduction of around twenty to thirty percent less manual effort from the IT team."

"I can control applications, and I can secure applications by using the MAM policy, which is very effective and very helpful in protecting our users' data on mobile devices such as iPhones and Android phones."

"The features of Microsoft Intune that I appreciate the most are its user-friendly interface and robust security options."

"We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines."

"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."

"Since implementing this solution, our company has grown substantially, and our talent pool has significantly expanded."

"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."

"The solution is scalable, and we currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Technical support is stellar."

"When the product works, it allows us to secure these devices in a way we could not before, and have control over the iOS updates and applications that we lacked."

"There is very high flexibility for different setups of single users, so it can give a single use many different device types with different enrollment types."

"The security of the product is excellent."

"I value the way BES UEM was able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."

"If a device is stolen, you have the power to remove all of the contents remotely. You can do this very quickly."

"It has a good ease of use, and its intuitive."

"It was an improvement when we got the Tasks and the Notes as well as Connect for Skype For Business."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pros

"This product helps us to create a streamlined process and it is working as expected."

"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."

"The technical support from Ivanti is good."

"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."

"This is an extremely robust product, very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate, and most of our customers just set it and forget it while it does all of the automatic patching month after month."

"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually."

"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."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

More Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management pros

Cons

"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."

"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."

"When pushing anything from Microsoft Intune, the sync timing is 48 hours. While sometimes it takes 5 to 10 minutes, the official period given by Microsoft is within 48 hours, which can be time-consuming for policies, applications, or patches."

"Intune has all the features enabled for Windows devices but needs to be improved on iOS and Apple devices."

"The solution requires Mac support."

"I wish Microsoft would keep up with their documentation. They make changes so quickly to these platforms that they do not update the documentation properly in a timely manner."

"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"It would be nice if there was an easier way for team members to get onboarded in regards to what they have to do on the device. There are some programs like Apple DEP and Samsung Knox. Unfortunately, with these programs, to get existing users onto them, you have to factory wipe your device. If it did not have the DEP capabilities, it would be nicer if it did not have so many steps to go through. That is our biggest complaint from team members. It has too many steps."

"One issue that is very annoying at that moment, that we're having an argument about with BlackBerry, is the inability to remove the signature automatically from the server."

"From the past to the present, before mobility location, we frequently required a restart."

"The only thing is that the UEM service is a little slow. We have a product production environment, and a test environment and both of them are a little slow. When you are using the UEM Web interface, it takes time to load."

"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."

"More devices supported like iOS, Android, and API so it can support various platforms to enhance the experience."

"That is where it is a bit challenging for us, because there is a lot of value-add in the product with a lot of different features."

"The interface could be improved."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite cons

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The price being quite high and the limited container storage are areas that have room for improvement."

"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."

"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."

"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."

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

"Ivanti Neurons for UEM could be improved by providing training on the dashboard, which could help users understand better how they can get more out of the platform."

"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."

More Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft offers some licensing where it's included at no extra cost when customers are already using the licenses. In such a case, it's a really good value. If you have to buy the licensing for it, it's probably on par with other solutions. It isn't substantially more or less expensive. The great thing is that it is included in some of Microsoft's licensed packages. So, some customers don't have to spend additional money for it. Typically, most providers that support Intune do charge a management fee of some sort or some fee. Certainly, we're no exception."

"We don't get Intune as a separate module. Most of the time, we use it within an enterprise agreement like E3 or E5. Those licenses are at a good price, but what is annoying is that every single year they go higher."

"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."

"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."

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

"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."

"The product is expensive."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."

"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."

"We pay about $6 a year for the solution. There are no extra costs on top of that. You save a lot of money when you use this product."

"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."

"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."

"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."

"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."

"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."

More BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite pricing and cost advice

"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."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"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."

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."

"The solution is affordable."

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
