The initial setup is easy. Their articles are straightforward as long as you follow them and ensure all the ports are open.

The installation depends on the environment. The success of the product depends on your environment. Many people who have problems with the product do so because of their environment.

The deployment of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager will take around six months. This includes standing up the solution and conducting initial testing. We had to deploy it out to devices.

The initial setup process is straightforward for me, as I have prior experience using it. I advise others to appoint an engineer for proper implementation. I have a cloud service application that helps me patch network devices for customers remotely.

It's not complex, but you need certified skills for setup to be easy. It is different for an L1 resource, who has a basic understanding of things and may not be a developer who deeply understands how to build up the solution, where that understanding is present with an L3 or L2 resource.

For maintenance, you need at least one skill set for each module. You would need one for UEM and one more for MDM, which is the ideal way to do it unless you have people who know the modules in and out. We have a larger team for IT service management because the demand for IT service management is high, but we can see that for other modules as well now.

The solution's initial setup process was a bit complex. The basic setup and installation can be done in two days. Identification of all the machines in the network, including the network connectivity, and getting connected to all live machines can take some time. It may take up to a minimum of two to three weeks for at least 50% of the functionality enablement.

Since it is an on-premises solution, there are certain setup needs to be able to run the solution in the application, after which an agent has to scan all the machines in the network, including the ones at the remote locations. So, it may seem tedious since it involves many firewall port enablements, and network rules have to be rhythmed. Once all the machines are ready, an agent needs to be installed. After these steps, everything is easy.

In my company, two or three people are required for the deployment and maintenance of the solution. There is a lack of skilled people in the market who can manage the solution. Also, we don't see any effort from Ivanti Endpoint Security to provide training to its users like the one provided by its competitors like ManageEngine. Though the product is good, the scarcity to find skilled people to operate the solution is a concern.

The initial setup was easy. 

For the setup, your company has to be well structured regarding the active directory. If it is well organized then it takes around a month or even less to deploy 90% of your endpoints. 

You also have to prepare packages, reporting, and things like that for the setup.
