We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform.""Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune.""The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost.""Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives.""The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us.""The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity.""The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs.""It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."

"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility.""The terminal remediation feature is valuable.""The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer.""The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click.""It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature.""Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration.""The user interface is user-friendly.""The company provides great customer service.""The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage.""It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

Cons
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that.""There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security.""There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to.""The policies we had in SCCM and AD offered features that are missing from Microsoft Intune.""There are a couple of issues with stability.""The installation could be improved to be simplified.""The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time.""Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices.""Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices.""There is a lack of flexibility.""Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable.""The tool's stability could be better.""In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."

More Ivanti Avalanche Cons →

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices.""We would like the initial setup to be simpler.""The interface is complicated and not very easy to use.""UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated.""The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

Microsoft Intune makes it possible for your team members to work anywhere using their mobile devices. Microsoft Intune provides both the flexibility and the control needed for securing all your data on the cloud, no matter where the device with the data is located.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "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 head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types: we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager (MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company details on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."

    Avalanche is rooted in managing the mobile computers that drive the supply chain. As those devices have evolved, Avalanche has continued to keep pace. So, whether you have legacy Windows CE devices deployed in your warehouse, or are looking to extend mobility to the showroom with today’s latest Android and iOS devices, Avalanche can manage them all.
