We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We can set a maintenance window and push the patch.""Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution.""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.""I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature.""Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution.""The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."

"It's a stable product.""What's valuable is the basic management of the systems, being able to control who can access the systems.""The most valuable feature of SCCM is the application distribution.""The solution is stable.""It does the job and meets our needs. With everybody working remotely these days, we are using this solution to deploy everything. The deployment of PCs is easy.""The main, clear valuable feature is updating the latest, patches and updates from Windows. This is the main feature we really utilize a lot.""The cloud account management is a valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is the availability of being able to manage the Microsoft estate. It handles many areas, such as asset management and tracking."

Cons
"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti.""Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions.""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.""The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide.""There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release.""I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high.""I would like to have better support for the application.""The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."

More Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune Cons →

"The operations could be faster and you need some patience with this tool.""Some of the capabilities aren't fully developed yet. It's an ongoing work in progress. I think they are making some steps in the right direction as far as managing workstations centrally, like Intune.""The cost of the product can be improved.""The database should be made to be more stable and robust, but not so much the configuration.""The analysis is something that can be integrated. Their report analysis can be improved a little bit due to the fact that most of the time complaints policies are saved by the admins. It's something that we need to look into and search for.""The ability to integrate MDM would be great.""SCCM can improve on third-party application support.""The main thing is that SCCM has to become an appliance instead of a server. When I say appliance, it has to come preconfigured so that it is drop-shipped into the enterprise and then you activate the feature sets that you want. It should pull down all the latest binaries. Once that is all there, it should have a discovery tool which goes out and discovers the assets within an enterprise. If the server, workstation, and applications are all coming from the same vendor, why not have the vendor do this work for us and automate it as much as it possibly can?"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 solution is affordable."
  • "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."
  • More Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing and licensing are horrible. You have to not look at dollar value to use SCCM. It's super-duper expensive but it works. The acquisition cost is expensive, it's labor-intensive. But it works."
  • "Pricing and licensing are a downside of SCCM. It's expensive. I'd have to confirm this, but I think they changed the licensing to core-based instead of socket-based. It's not cheap, because you have to buy the software, you have to buy SQL. Another thing we learned from talking to Microsoft is that they provide you a license for SQL if you run it on the same box as the primary server. If you run it outside that box, you have to buy SQL. Microsoft does recommend you running it on the same box because of performance. But then, in order to run SQL, SCCM, and everything on the same box, you better have some resources. It's an expensive solution. There's no doubt about it."
  • "Overall, I think it's fine. It's pretty much in-line because there are ways to offset it with the Office 365 licensing."
  • "SCCM comes with its own version of SQL Server. If you use that SQL Server with SCCM and don't use it for another applications than you get an SQL Server for free."
  • "The licensing is good because they have various options, depending on what you are looking for."
  • "Pricing is negotiable with Microsoft, depending upon which of their packages you choose."
  • "When you compare this solution with other tools in the market you might actually find a lot of variation in the pricing and that's why people opt for the other tools rather than Microsoft tools."
  • "Its price is okay because it is part of our licensing."
