    It has customization features, lets you do network redirects via the DNS, and is stable and scalable
    An area for improvement in AppSense is pricing because it's much higher than Citrix and VMware solutions. It's one of the virtualization software that allows user profile virtualization, but you can also find that capability in the lower-priced VMware and Citrix software. AppSense has many features but is more expensive, so it would be better if it had a reduced cost or the solution had more enhanced capabilities. For example, in group policies, you can maintain the redirections and registry settings through the group policy via PolicyPak, another third-party product for managing the group policy. If AppSense could have a configuration similar to what PolicyPak has, then that would make AppSense better. AppSense is OS-based, so when my company purchased it in the past, it could run on Windows 7. Eventually, Ivanti told my company that it no longer supported Windows 7, so my company had to purchase AppSense for Windows 10. In the future, the new version of AppSense should work on different Windows versions.

    The solution isn't hard to understand, and there are lots of features you can use out of the box
    We're a consulting company, so we listen to what the customer needs and offer solutions. Let's say they are having a virtual environment and they need to provision a master image, then this is the easiest way for an IT admin and not expensive if you compare it to SSCM or something like that.

    Quotes from Members

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

    Pros

    "I like the customization features of AppSense. It also allows you to push DNS settings, so if you want to redirect a network using the DNS, you can do that from AppSense, which I find beneficial."
    "It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."
    "The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
     

    Cons

    "An area for improvement in AppSense is pricing because it's much higher than Citrix and VMware solutions. In the future, the new version of AppSense should work on different Windows versions."
    "Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."
    "Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."
     

    Pricing and Cost Advice

    "I would rate AppSense pricing as six out of ten because it's an expensive product, and the organization won't buy if it only requires limited configuration."
    "My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
