We performed a comparison between BigFix and Ivanti Neurons for MDM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The use of fast query has been extremely valuable providing insight in real time of the endpoints."
"The architecture for patching and the 100% correct reporting makes BigFix stand apart from other solutions."
"Patch management, because it very much improved the patch compliance and has the capability to manage Windows and non-Windows clients."
"It has improved my organization because we can automate a lot of tasks. We went from manually patching machines or doing our best and having very little visibility into it to us being able to set it and forget it and getting really good results on first-pass patching."
"We rely on BigFix as part of our consulting engagements. It's more efficient from a visibility and discovery standpoint on the initial phase, the consulting engagement. It also increases our efficiencies on the remediation phase of our engagements."
"We are able to go from patching thousands of machines by twenty to thirty people to one person."
"It allows us to quickly deploy capabilities that we need, whether it be security or non-security. We use it to keep systems up to date, deploy new drivers, find the information we need in the case of security incidents. The capability allows us to gather a lot of information very quickly and it also allows us to have a centralized reporting feature and a centralized deployment capability which is nice."
"BigFix has always been easier to use when managing servers, especially when you deal with so many servers. We have 7,000. That's a lot of services to manage, and it's convenient to patch them all at once."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."
"The company provides great customer service."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"There needs to be more support for Mac operating systems."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"License management isn't quite as easy as it should be to deal with the licensing. You need to take the server down to import the new licenses which I find to be annoying."
"BigFix should improve its compatibility with other platforms, such as Linux."
"The product lacks AI, ML, and IIT."
"I would like to see a web UI SDK so we could take what is provided currently and be able to build our own customized web UI for particular customers that want to sell service."
"To make it a ten they should improve the licensing. Second, if they could have one environment for everything it would be nice. For you to install compliance you need to install the server, and then you add the modules. For you to install inventory you install the server and then you add the modules. It's not easy to do. When I was doing it before I learned it, it was not straight forward."
"The product should become cloud-based. Also, the peer nesting ability of the product is a little backward."
"They need better integration."
"The reporting structure could be a little more simplistic. Currently, it throws too many vulnerabilities. Some of them are not needed because they are only informational and limitations, and they are not of much help. It doesn't need to show us these things."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
