Pros
"The Ivanti Neurons for Patch Intelligence's most valuable feature is simplicity. When deployed in our environment, the standout aspect is the ease of installation across different offices. For example, in a location with 150 users, we only need to install the agent on one machine. From there, it scans the entire network, identifying components on computers, laptops, desktops, and more. We can view the results and easily push updates."

Cons
"Ivanti Neurons for Patch Intelligence needs to improve reporting."

More Ivanti Neurons for Patch Intelligence Cons →

"SCCM does not scale well, which is one of the reasons we are not going to continue to use it.""It needs to be able to load faster during deployment.""Their compliance reporting is not accurate, and they admitted it on the phone when we had a call with them. We were trying to understand why their numbers didn't match on our compliance reports. It is not accurate and you cannot depend on the compliance reports. The numbers just don't match, and we can't figure out why. We called Microsoft and they said, "Yeah, that's a known issue." But there is no word that they're working on it.""It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers.""I currently need to increase my compliance level in the patching processes which this solution could improve on.""In spite of us being a premier customer we find the support unsatisfactory.""The time the solution takes for updating systems could be quicker. For example, the system information status is not updating as it should. Additionally, the database synchronization querying is slow and could be improved.""The configuration of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could be improved, it is a bit complicated."

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."
