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.

Solution supports seamless integration and promotes effective device management
For technical support of Citrix, I find they are responsive, but L1 is not very capable; this product requires some mature understanding, so sometimes they can handle small problems, but for major or architecture-related issues, their L3 or our L3 engineer helps them understand the problem.I would assess the technical support of Citrix as a seven from 1 to 10.

Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged
The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune impacts my organization positively by saving significant time via faster onboarding; there is no requirement for manual imaging or setup."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"Microsoft Intune has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of security and efficiency."
"This product allows us to restrict users who have access to the system, or to Office 365."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements."
"What I like most about Intune is its seamless enrollment process, particularly the Autopilot method."
"Relatively easy for support staff and employees to use and provides us with the control we needed to deploy our BYOD program internally."
"I still think XenMobile MDM is a leading solution for Mobile Device Management but its bundling with the other XenMobile Apps and NetScaler makes it very difficult to implement."
"One of the most valuable features of Endpoint Security would be that all the data is localized in a data center."
"Using the ZDM, the administrators are able to control the device remotely and send us remote wipe command instantly."
"For mail containerization, Citrix Endpoint Management is very good, for document reading is very good, and if I have in-house applications, then if I want to publish them without compromising the data, then it's very good."
"We have seen improvements in compliance management on the devices."
"Whenever I need to check my email with my mobile phone, Citrix Endpoint Management is essential for our firm."
"This product provides our organization with faster communication with the ability to answer emails from a mobile device rather than having to access Outlook on a laptop or desktop."
"The company provides great customer service."
"We have very good technical support; when we had big issues, the support was fantastic, I have nothing to complain about, and it was important for us to have that level of security from the company."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."
"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"If you have a reporting-extensive company, for example, then you may need to look for other products."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Sometimes, it takes time to synchronize the policies between the portal and the devices, you don't have a way to estimate how long it will take to deploy. You have some kind of gray area, where it can deploy in 30 minutes or three days."
"Most of the customers in the business do not use Intune because it doesn't support that much policy for Android."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"One thing that could be better in Microsoft Intune is the file size, as it is quite large at times."
"Support for inventory management of Apple devices should be added."
"The tool’s battery usage was high."
"There are challenges every now and then with the stability, but it is never anything that we cannot fix."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. But we have seen battery life is slightly drained faster."
"Doesn't yet support Android devices natively, though that is coming."
"I think MDM can be improved and I think perhaps Microsoft Intune has a better MDM."
"Requires integrating with ABM before enabling some of the features."
"The Multi-Tenant component (MTC) was very finicky to get up and running and upgrades was hit and miss."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"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 interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The pricing is competitive, but it is not cheap."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."
"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."
"It's affordable for the protection it gives. There are no additional costs."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"The licensing costs vary depending on the customer and the licensing model. We have three main types: per-user, subscription, and concurrent user licenses, plus a user-based model."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
