Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license

The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Centralized management simplifies software distribution and patch management

From the features perspective, distribution packages is the best feature in the Ivanti Endpoint Manager. We create tasks for patching or distributing software, appliances, or MSA files and schedule them. We create repair groups, push appliances, create drives, and map shared drives to distribution packages. It distributes the groups included in those packages across our entire network. It is easy to deploy appliances or applications, including OS to workstations within a single click. We can see any missing patches or vulnerabilities. It is very useful for troubleshooting and identifying patches, whether missing or installed. I would suggest including an option to manage multiple clients in future releases. For example, as a managed service provider, if I use Ivanti Endpoint Manager for one client, can I deploy or use the same server to manage other clients or multiple sites or region clients? That feature would be beneficial for managing multiple domains within a single appliance.

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

"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"When comparing these two products, I prefer Intune."

"It is a stable solution."

"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."

"Microsoft Intune scales very effectively with our growing needs."

"Its most valuable aspect is it is very connected with the Microsoft ecosystem."

"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."

"I have seen a return on investment with Microsoft Intune, as it has saved me resources; previously, I managed my infrastructure with a team of around six to seven members, but after transitioning to the Microsoft Intune hybrid model, I am able to manage it with just one resource, allowing me to cut costs significantly, around 50-60 lakhs."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The most beneficial aspect of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is that it is cost-friendly."

"The interface is intuitive for administrators to understand patching, package creation, deployment, troubleshooting, remote access, and PowerShell scripting automation."

"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."

"Ivanti is a great product from a security perspective."

"The best feature that Ivanti Endpoint Manager offers is remote desktop management, which allows viewing a user's screen."

"The license cost is lower than other products in the market."

"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 best features of Ivanti Endpoint Manager are that the agents are very light, and the deployment monitoring is very good."

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager pros

"The user interface is user-friendly."

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

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

"The company provides great customer service."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

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

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM pros

Cons

"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."

"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."

"Management of Linux devices from Microsoft Intune would be great. Then we can manage any device and not only Windows and Apple."

"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."

"Microsoft documentation is a bit hard to get around, so having more control over devices would be good."

"One thing that could be better in Microsoft Intune is the file size, as it is quite large at times."

"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."

"The mobile management is good for iPhone and iPad, but the Apple Mac management needs improvement. That is probably because Microsoft does not have low-level access to Apple Mac hardware. If you are doing basic things, it is okay, but if you want to image Apple Macs and do things like that, then Jamf is much better."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The product's implementation process is in areas of concern where improvements are required."

"They should create instructional videos for every feature such as software management and patch management to help beginners who are new to Ivanti Endpoint Manager."

"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."

"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."

"Improvements could be made in creating collections and enhancing patch packaging."

"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 is not user-friendly and feels outdated, which affects usability."

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager cons

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

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

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

"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."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."

"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."

"We use Defender ATP and E5 licenses."

"Previously the price was $4 per month per user. Now it's $2.25 per user per month."

"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."

"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."

"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."

"The product is expensive."
