Keeping servers updated while encountering documentation issues and time zone delays in support
In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing. Sometimes I had to uninstall, reinstall, or engage technical support, which took a lot of time. It would be helpful if the documentation could easily help us fix bugs on our own.

Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS
Has reduced hardware strain through agentless patching and improved asset visibility
This solution does not have capability of managing applications. It is only used for asset management and patch management. Regarding analytics for Ivanti Security Controls, it does not have extensive capabilities. It is a basic tool from Ivanti for scanning and deploying. It does not have analytics features such as EDR or security tools available in the market. It only has capability to check missing patches, find them, and deploy them. When it comes to reports, compliance reports or similar types of reports are not user-friendly. Expertise is required for handling these aspects. The asset management in Ivanti Security Controls needs more visibility. Additionally, it can be improved to handle in-house applications, which currently cannot be installed. It can only handle existing applications, unlike Ivanti's Endpoint Manager. It should have additional features in this area that need improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"The technical support from Ivanti is good."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"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 Security Controls is an agentless tool which means we do not need to install any agent on the server or endpoint, and through agentless capabilities, it can install software, install patches, and control over the server, including asset management."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"Ivanti Security Controls is a better solution than SCCM."
"What has been most valuable is the ability to manage, restore and install upgrades and applications. We scan PCs and server and receive results."
 

Cons

"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing."
"Ivanti Security Controls is a powerful product, but it has quite a steep learning curve."
"For the Windows upgrade, the errors we experience are not clear. We see a time out error but do not know the reason. We would like to know the root cause."
"It should be more scalable."
"When it comes to reports, compliance reports or similar types of reports are not user-friendly. Expertise is required for handling these aspects."
 

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."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"The solution is affordable."
"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."
