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.

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.

It is a complete and competitive solution with excellent OEM support

Matrix42 is a complete solution in terms of functionality. Still, you need to understand whether it's also capable of managing Kubernetes containers to that extent, and this is not very clear in the product fact sheet. It’s possible with Ivanti MobileIron, though, and Matrix42 seems to be one step behind in this aspect. Likewise, in terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42 to integrate with more third-party tools compared to Ivanti, which has a larger number of integrations due to its size. MobileIron is an older product that has evolved over time, offering advantages in terms of readily available third-party APIs and integrations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

"The ease of applying security policies to applications we deploy is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."

"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."

"The insights, even though we're talking about charts and graphs, are super valuable to customers who might not otherwise know what's in their ecosystem or the current state of things within their ecosystem."

"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."

"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."

"The core management feature in Intune is invaluable to us, especially considering the challenges we often face with System Center when pushing external updates."

"Endpoint Manager has been around the longest, it's survived, it's matured and it's the top dog in general."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"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 Endpoint Manager has served us well over the years, supporting operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 10."

"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 product saves time and money."

"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."

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

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."

"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting capabilities, specifically app reporting. It is challenging to report which apps are installed on which device."

"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."

"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."

"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."

"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."

"Currently, Microsoft Intune's focus is mainly on Windows, but they can make much more improvement in terms of other platforms."

More Microsoft Intune cons

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

"The reporting functionality and user interface could be improved. The options to generate reports should be more dynamic rather than static."

"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."

"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."

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

"Ivanti Endpoint Manager can improve support for Mac and Windows devices, as it currently excels with iOS and Android."

"Setting up the solution on-premises is difficult and needs improvement."

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

More Ivanti Endpoint Manager cons

"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."

"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"I am satisfied with the pricing."

"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."

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

"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."

"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."

"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
