Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Helpful technical support, and performs well, but initial setup could be simplified
They are constantly improving the scalability of BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite. More collaborative features are being developed. I know they have integrations with a lot of other vendors and applications, and it's constantly growing. Our company has approximately 3,000 users. I would say we have ten people for actual administrative roles with Blackberry.

Director 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"Intune's integration with Microsoft 365 is exceptional."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"Microsoft Intune not only saves costs by reducing the number of personnel needed but also offers a comprehensive solution for managing laptops, applications, security, individual access, and enrollment."
"The solution is stable."
"The mobile device management is very useful."
"I value the way BES UEM was able to utilize Android for Work-Premium in BlackBerry Android devices."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable. Having access to your emails in a secure way is one of the most important features of this solution. Blackberry ensures data security, and as a user, I can use it while on roaming or wherever I am."
"It does support hardware and operating system configurations from every angle."
"Access to the emails on the go was most valuable."
"Security is the most valuable feature, because we are a financial institution, we have a large number of clients, and we have to make sure all communications are secure and PCI compliant."
"If you create such a setup, a secure setup, you will have a really fine solution."
"When the product works, it allows us to secure these devices in a way we could not before, and have control over the iOS updates and applications that we lacked."
"Every version upgrade has been straightforward."
"From the reporting we receive, we perform patching updates every week with no tickets or complaints from users saying they dislike it or their computers were abruptly restarted."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The advice I would give to others looking into using Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management is that it is a vast and very trustworthy application with vast features that you can use for entire endpoint management along with patching and app controls."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"For those looking into using Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management, I would recommend just going for it, as it is the best tool available in the market right now with all the features, and despite needing a few improvements, I encourage people to use it."
"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"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."
"A very interesting feature created by our vendor is that we can retrieve specific information from our endpoints using a filter that they've set up and saved as a standard, which is very good because we can get specific information to update during the day."
 

Cons

"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment. While it works very well for Microsoft users but if you have other kinds of operating systems, it's very painful to use."
"The platform is incredibly slow and could be more responsive. Specifically, when making changes to security policies, I would like to see those changes take effect more quickly."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"The only drawback or challenge is that it does not support server deployment."
"That is where it is a bit challenging for us, because there is a lot of value-add in the product with a lot of different features."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way for team members to get onboarded in regards to what they have to do on the device. There are some programs like Apple DEP and Samsung Knox. Unfortunately, with these programs, to get existing users onto them, you have to factory wipe your device. If it did not have the DEP capabilities, it would be nicer if it did not have so many steps to go through. That is our biggest complaint from team members. It has too many steps."
"I'd like there to be more in the core product rather than having to buy additional products. For example, being able to trace your devices after an emergency is an additional product you have to buy to do that properly."
"It would be ideal if there was something for communication with Microsoft tools like Teams or Skype for Business, or perhaps even with Zoom for conference calls."
"They could improve their QA. There are many times where something will be released, a new client will be released, and something gets broken. Or they do a release and they don't take into consideration how some people may be using parts of it. Even though it's supported, they release something and it breaks it because they weren't aware of it. The biggest thing for me right now is, I would like to see improvement in their QA. I'm tired of getting broken software."
"One issue that is very annoying at that moment, that we're having an argument about with BlackBerry, is the inability to remove the signature automatically from the server."
"The pain points for us would be the activation."
"Scalability was slightly complex because we had to wait for licenses to come before the configuration."
"To improve Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management, I believe we should focus on automating recurring problems, improving detection, and measuring results."
"Reporting needs improvement. It is not very useful and lacks depth."
"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."
"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."
"There are a few areas where Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management could be further improved, including custom reporting, dashboard flexibility, and UI navigation for new admins."
"Regarding how Ivanti Neurons for UEM can be improved, the dashboard can be quite complex for first-time users and even small-scale organizations."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a part of Microsoft 365 and E5 licenses. Microsoft's strategy of making every feature in Microsoft Intune paid needs optimization. Remote control is one of the basic features, not a luxury feature, yet we must pay for it. I"
"The E5 license is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"We are paying $200 annually. You also need to have a hardware server or a license for the server so there could be some additional fees added on to that."
"With the new licensing model, there seems to be a significant increase in cost, which makes it difficult to push forward and talk with the business."
"The licensing costs are paid on a yearly basis because we just renewed the license. If you have some big issue, they will also charge you."
"In my opinion, we're paying an awful lot for what we get, compared to other vendors. I don't deal with the pricing, but it does seem to be a bit pricey for the things that we get, especially, when you compare them to other vendors, such as VMware, Citrix, who have all bought up other players in this space. VMware offers AirWatch free as part of their packages."
"We currently pay by the year, but the licenses are calculated on a monthly basis."
"For the number of licenses, I believe it was approximately $500,000 per year, or for three years."
"Sometimes, it is very hard to get an overview because there are so many different suites to find out what is the right thing for new customers."
"It was on a yearly support contract, and the licenses were perpetual. There was also the implementation cost and the support cost for the integrator."
"The solution is affordable."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"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 license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"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."
