Check Point Endpoint Security vs. Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management

Check Point Endpoint Media Encryption and Port Protection (Pointsec) is well suited for Microsoft Windows environment. While, for MacOS it is less appropriate.

If someone was to ask me what I thought about Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management I would be honest and tell them about my whole experience with the product. I think the product has a lot of promise. For us though it falls short. We have too many apps that can't always be updated to the latest version. This makes it so we are having to constantly be in the management console making sure these apps aren't getting update accidentally. The lack of support with the product is becoming a deal breaker for me. The cycle has repeated too many times. We have a poor experience with support, I tell our account manager, the account manager engages one of the awesome pre-sales engineers, we get our problem resolved, the account manager promises the support team is going to do better and then we start the cycle over again. I would say only 1 out of every 4-5 support cases is what I would consider to be a positive experience.

• Requires authorized passwords and logins from end users.
• Utilizes voiceprint recognition to validate users.
• Allows for a one time login from end users working remotely away from their desks.

• Patch(Security) is done really well. You can use roll out projects or built-in automation as well as the use of groups and scopes to design pilot and other use cases.
• It takes a solid inventory of what you have of your endpoints and can do an agentless scan as well if you need to collect data that way as well.
• Provisioning is rather simple and even allows you to use other products' software for the image or the built-in if you wish to do so.
• Software distribution works well and has a lot flexibility built into the module.

• Types of devices to control needs to be added like McAfee and GFI Endpoint Security.
• Device whitelisting needs more granular level like by Vendor ID, Serial Number, Device ID etc.
• Device Control and Media Protection on MacOS to be added.

• The Core product's UI is very much in need of a refresh, but it doesn't get the love because most customers choose the cloud product, which looks entirely different.
• Splunk integration does not work well and requires a lot of manual intervention. The Splunk MIApp doesn't work out of the box, at all.
• There is no longer a mobile app for system management. It existed once upon a time, but is strangely missing in a platform that is all about mobile management.

MobileIron's interface is intuitive and easy to pick up. The alternative options out in the market aren't nearly as easy to use. Also MobileIron's customer support is top notch. No matter the issue I bring up an answer has been found. And if an answer can't be found at that moment, the engineer always gets back to me later once he's able to do some research.

It's relatively straightforward as far as using it. We can create roles in it and have some of our junior engineers still do the patching. Also, creating rules and exclusions, once shown, can be done by most of our engineers. We also like the interface on the home page that shows the current progress of our patch deployments

TRM\TAM support has been generally very good. Getting reported bug fixes, design changes, UX problems resolved has been a pain. It is often difficult to get problems escalated beyond the TRM\TAM level. Support is fantastic when you can get it, getting it can often require more work than it should, and that is probably our biggest issue.

It is online based, after learning content you can take a test and if you don't pass you get two other chances to pass. Once you pass the test you can print out your certification or save it

None, implementation went great

Symantec Encryption, a few management points led me to evaluate and not go with it.

Better in most all categories. On-prem was not an issue for my organization. MS SCCM was lacking features. Airwatch required increasing tiers of service in order to match [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] features, and lacked the robust inventory data we needed. Meraki was very simple to use, but did not meet our needs. I would say that most Airwatch customers aren't using all the features they are paying for, and could save lots of money by using Meraki instead.

• Stops Ransomware attacks

• The installation of MobileIron was for security compliance so we could containerize email on BYOD devices and also control who got email on company phones (to prevent hourly workers from working on emails after hours). MobileIron met this need nicely.
• MobileIron allowed us to utilize device certificates to prevent unauthorized devices from joining wireless networks in our company.
• MobileIron allows our sales staff to get emails on the road and many users rely on the functionality and ease of the phone for general mail communication.
