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.

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.

Offers scalability and ability to create granular policies

It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior. I have been using it for five…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The management control feature is the most valuable."

"Microsoft Intune has saved me about 30% of my time through streamlined processes and efficient resource management."

"I find what is most valuable about Microsoft Intune is how, at the granular level, it allows us to manage the devices."

"Microsoft Intune is cost-effective, providing ROI through the time saved for support teams and people working with computers."

"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."

"Intune's integration with Defender and other security solutions is valuable because it offers a view into different security vulnerabilities and enables us to secure them more effectively."

"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."

"I particularly appreciate the administration and security features, which can be deployed easily."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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."

"By moving to Intune, they were able to save the complete cost for Ivanti Neurons for UEM and put it towards something they were already paying for, and additionally they improved enrollment deployment time significantly and now can deploy laptops in an hour and even give the task to end users."

"Ivanti Patch is far better than other solutions."

"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

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

"We manage over 1,000 new devices per year, saving more than 1,500 hours of manual IT work annually."

"The company provides great customer service."

"Ivanti Neurons for UEM has positively impacted my organization by providing customers with tools to scan, perform remote desktop functions, conduct patch analysis, and manage software deployment along with network scanning."

More Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management pros

"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."

"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."

"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."

"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."

"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."

"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."

"Ivanti Avalanche has reduced the time needed to perform updates on all the devices across our clients' organizations; it's a great time-saver for the client."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in server patch management and allowing direct uploads of EXE applications instead of needing to convert them to Intune format, which would save time."

"If we could remote into a device, it would be great. Currently, we cannot directly connect to the user device. We have to use other tools such as VMware for connecting to devices."

"One area where Microsoft Intune could improve is policy troubleshooting and reporting. Identifying why a device is non-compliant or why a deployment failed can sometimes require longer than expected."

"One thing I would suggest is that servers are not getting managed through Microsoft Intune."

"Certificate management within Microsoft Intune's Suite is still under development. It's not very reliable compared to other certificate tools, though it has made good progress within a couple of years."

"Yes, there are a couple of issues with stability."

"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."

"Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

"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 biggest problem that I have with technical support is that it is not regional and we are dealing with time differences."

"The ticket resolution workflow requires duplicate documentation, which does not add value and increases the time required to process tickets."

"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."

"In terms of improvements for Ivanti Neurons for UEM, the only challenge I face with EPM Endpoint Manager is in scanning network devices, as some devices appear without a serial number, which is an issue that takes more time since customers often require the serial number as a mandatory field."

"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."

"It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location."

More Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management cons

"There is a lack of flexibility."

"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."

"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."

"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."

"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper."

"The tool's stability could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."

"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."

"The Intune license model is costly."

"Microsoft Intune costs about $7 per user per month, which is somewhat on the pricier end. That said, it's a reliable product, so it's fair."

"The pricing is good because customers are not complaining about it."

"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."

"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."

"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"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."

"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."

"It is expensive. Its price could be cheaper."

"Although the solution is a bit costly in my opinion, for customers who really need this solution, Ivanti Avalanche is worth it."

"You will need to purchase licenses for each device."

"Other than the standard licensing fee, there aren't any additional or hidden costs, although I believe Avalanche could be made more affordable in general."

"The license is based on assets. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
