We're using Ivanti Endpoint Manager to control our endpoints and provide them with the correct set of applications, pre defined settings and manage the licenses, allowing us to deploy application installations and updates using the Ivanti Automation integration. Using captures we also provide the user settings be available over multiple devices.
  • Provide consistant set of shortcuts and their settings
  • Provide a managed set of printers and drive mappings
  • Being able to deploy missing applications on a on-demand
  • Roadmap for future versions
  • Speed of logon, more parallelization
  • Webportal to do the management
It can beperfect for situations where an end-user is using a standard set of applications and there is no need to manage or install applications by themselves. If, on the other hand, there is a need of flexibility, Ivanti Endpoint Manager is not in it's strength but still adds value!

Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite) is leveraged throughout our environment. It allows us to manage assets and assist our users through software distribution, patch management, remote access, and standardized imaging. Using queries to get quick information and to create lists for software distribution and patching is awesome, and is used regularly. Layering Ivanti Neurons on top of Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite) allows for even greater reporting and, of course, dashboarding.
  • OS provisioning
  • Patch management
  • Software distribution (on premises)
  • PC remote assistance
  • Remote assistance for macOS
  • Software distribution (through gateway)
  • Error codes when software distribution fails
Easier to set up and leverage than SCCM. Ivanti provides a suite that is more powerful and learning friendly. If you have a mix of users that are on-premises and remote, Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite) is a good solution. We have not had a great experience with the integration to macOS, but it works on-premises most of the time. If you are looking for an all-in-one solution that can provide end-to-end management, from service desk to reporting and asset management, Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite) is an excellent fit.

We settled on Ivanti almost 2 years ago because of the support across multiple Operating Systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux) and environments (Internal / External networks and Domain/Azure/Non-domain). We initially only planned on using Ivanti for workstations but as we started rolling it out we found massive issues with our WSUS patching that also affected our servers. After doing some testing and vetting, we quickly made the decision to deploy Ivanti to every device and server. It has made our inventory, security, patching, and audit requirements much more manageable.
  • Patching
  • Inventory
  • User self-service software installation through Ivanti Portal
  • Vulnerability management
  • Management Console is not web based and only runs on Windows.
  • Support and documentation is hard to find sometimes.
Mixed OS environments (Windows, Mac, Linux) and where WSUS or SCCM can not cover (non-domain computers, non-windows devices, off LAN devices, and work from home users).

[Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] is a device management solution. We are using this company wide for our endpoints. The primary benefit of this solution are Inventory, patch management, and software deployment. Inventory collection with this tool is a significant amount of granular data. This helps drive decision making and metrics of success. Patch Management is a critical security feature that many companies overlook. Microsoft updates are not enough to protect your endpoints, and [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] natively patches many third-party applications. This may not seem that important since many applications now are able to auto-update. Unfortunately sometimes Chrome, Firefox or an AV solution stop auto-updating, and you have some devices with a vulnerable software and a known exploit in your environment. [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] is that tool to automate remediation of that before it is a problem. Software deployment is also a core component. Sometimes you need to rollout a security solution or a critical business application, and it need to be done fast. Any application type can be deployed with [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)], and [there] are even multiple methods of deployment such as batch, powershell and VB scripts.
  • Inventory
  • Patch management
  • Software deployment
  • Administrator Console Interface
  • Web interface
  • Portal Manager Interface
  • Cloud-based replacement to on-prem
There is no direct replacement for the on-prem Ivanti [Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] solution. Ivanti has a companion product called Neurons, but that is in additional cost, and requires configuration with your on-prem [Unified Endpoint Manager] instance to perform basic functions. If cloud-based is a requirement for your organization, this is likely a dealbreaker. You can implement [Unified Endpoint Manager] in a cloud instance such as AWS, but the support for this appears limited.
If on-prem is not an issue for you, this is a great tool for device management. It has robust features, impressive inventory, massive customization options, and excellent vendor support. If Patch Management is a problem in your company right now, this is the first product I would evaluate.

We use [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] to know what we have, where it is, and manage those assets in the field. Patch, Software Distribution, Imaging, Discovery, Monitoring, and Inventory are the main areas we focus on. Other areas that we also use UEM for also include Application Control and Environment Manager but these to me are ancillary and not core functions.
  • 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.
  • MDM has fallen a bit flat, however, with the recent acquisition of MobileIron I believe this will change but as of now there is some of this still built into the product
  • The antivirus portion of the product hasn't had much love and could use a bump. It is not bad at all but I would like to see it hit that next level.
  • Data Analytics is the most powerful tool inside this platform but it is so hard for people to figure it out that it often goes unused. It needs a good redesign.
  • API could use some work.
You need to push O365 or some product out to your institution. If you need to build out a reboot before and after and maybe something else, [Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager (formerly LANDESK Management Suite)] can easily do that for you. It then can also use a query to determine who needs that product in your environment and then continue using that query to watch for the machines you targeted to show up once your push succeeded. If you need to, you can use the task scheduler and schedule your software distribution for a specific not in normal business hours or on a weekend.

We use it across the whole organization to publish applications, capture user settings and implement an access control layer. We use mostly VDI and needed a solution to roam user settings between nonpersistent desktops. Ivanti UEM appeared a good replacement for our previous product that was not very good at Windows 10 specific settings.
  • Capture and restore user settings
  • Provide access control
  • Replace Windows group policies
  • Management interface, the suite consists of separate products instead of one interface.
  • Upgrade complexity.
  • Insight in performance bottlenecks/issues that occur.
It can be used in scenarios where you want to compose the desktop, including publishing app shortcuts to users. Another area is access control: it can provide you with conditional access control based on the context of the user. Furthermore, capturing user settings is a good area, you can even restore previous settings for a specific app in case it had issues.

Ivanti's Endpoint Manager (EM) offers a wide breadth of features that we use daily from IT Asset Management, Software and OS Provisioning, to Patch Management, as well as our support and troubleshooting software.
  • Flexibility - EM is Agent based and supports a wide range of devices/products.
  • Reporting - Xtraction is a great tool to dive deep into your environment for real time reporting.
  • Patching - Go beyond just Microsoft patches. EM includes a whole slew of third-party patches as well as being able to do custom patches.
  • Pricing - Ivanti has made huge strides to simplify pricing, but still has some way to go.
  • Reduced ROI without the full suite of products.
  • Agent Upgrade and repair can be troublesome
Ivanti UEM can do a lot of things and can fit a large amount of needs for businesses. The training required to operate the product effectively is a little on the heavy side, but when maintained and learned, can lead to a mostly automated process.


As Ivanti brings on more products through acquisitions, they limit themselves by forcing to many key products to a-la-cart purchasing.

Ivanti Endpoint Manager is our global solution for inventory, patch management, and software distribution. We also perform remote support activities and are ramping up a central provisioning strategy. Ivanti also ties in to our data warehouse solution and our asset management solution, feeding both with vital information to keep reports and device records up to date.
  • Patch management. You can devise multiple patch strategies, automate patching, and really drive your environment to a secure posture.
  • Software distribution. There are multiple avenues to take when it comes to distributing software, and Ivanti can support many of them. Their interface makes it easy to build packages, and using their distribution methodology, it is efficient in performing rapid mass deployments.
  • Device inventory. Out of the box, Ivanti gathers a lot of information on a device and you can report on nearly anything you want. They also have mechanisms in place to gather additional information from clients that are not standard, enhancing reporting capabilities and allowing you to provide useful data to your customers.
  • Patch reporting. Ivanti is still largely user and device centric when it comes to reports. Reporting on patches is still lacking out of the box. Through other tools, we can take the patch data and build the necessary reports, but we should be able to do this with Ivanti natively.
  • Documentation. While it has improved, Ivanti is still behind on documentation for their products, especially the smaller add-ons to the main suites. Their employees are willing to help teach on different aspects of the product, but a lot of this information should already be included in documentation.
If you are looking for a complete solution to manage and secure your endpoints, Ivanti is the way to go. Especially great in environments that have multiple sites and are global. If you have a small site (< 20 devices), the cost may not be justified depending on your needs. But for sites with a few hundred devices or more, this is a great arrow in your quiver of solutions to managing your IT needs.

We use Ivanti EPM across the entire corporate office and stores. This helps us with patch management, antivirus, and asset information. With EPM we are better able to report and respond to vulnerability attacks and ensure that our devices are protected and functioning properly. EPM also solves an issue with our remote support. Our brick and mortar stores are difficult to access with normal Windows methods because of our network NATing. Having an EPM agent solves this problem and improves our support capabilities.
  • Ivanti EPM handles remote control extremely well in the 2018 release. The new from scratch 'Remote Control Web Services' is far more reliable and withstands some pretty malformed network infrastructures. As long as the device has minimal internet or intranet access, you can reach it.
  • Apple MacOS support is growing slowly but surely. It is comforting to see the time and effort going into the Ivanti EPM product for a type of device that is becoming more prevalent in the business world.
  • Ivanti handles vulnerabilities very seriously. For example, the Spectre and WannaCry problems were almost a non-event for us because we had our automated patching implemented. We are able to successfully have a test, beta, and prod deployment style for patching to ensure that the base OS, as well as our specific applications, do not encounter serious issues when patched. Then, on the other hand, we are not behind on updates and open to vulnerabilities.
  • The product's vast use cases and robustness can be its downfall as well in some sense. It can certainly be overwhelming, and in my opinion, requires some form of technical support contract to make sure your questions are answered quickly and tailored to your environment.
  • Antivirus has been a struggle with Ivanti EPM with various changes in the industry around Kaspersky and I hope things are settling down soon. It's currently unclear how and when more and more features of their current AV offering will be implemented. It is bare-bones for now after having to start over with leaving Kaspersky behind.
  • Because the word 'endpoint' has so many meanings, there are a ton of features in the Ivanti EPM product. Some of them are not the best at what they do and are simply there to get the job done. It would be great to see some functionality sync across their product family.
It is well suited for retail because of the decentralized nature of the endpoints. I think it would be well worth any environment that sees personal devices on corporate networks for the base agent with AV reasons. It is probably not best for small establishments that would not exceed 200 devices overall unless patch management is a real pain point.

Ivanti Endpoint Manager is used to reduce the need of onsite visits, collect information on computers for our annual Evergreen, and inventorying software on our computers.

The remote control and distribution features are very powerfully and easy to use for technicians. The ROI from reducing our site visits is 2-3 fold the cost of our licensing. This does not include the other benefits we get from it.
  • Remote Control
  • Software Inventorying of individual Machines
  • Detection of Rogue nodes through scans
  • Distribution of Software
  • Software Inventorying is sometimes clunky to get what you need
  • Package distribution takes a lot of work
Ivanti Endpoint Manager is well suited for remote control administration of workstations at remote sites. By using either the regular remote control function or the HTML remote control function, you can easily remote control a machine regardless of the speed of the connection to it. Being able to lock out a user's keyboard and mouse is an excellent feature as well. This prevents "fighting" for control with some end users.

Our department utilizes UEM to manage assets, software deployment, patch management, inventory control, reporting, and system provisioning. The systems being managed are both physical and virtual. We currently do not manage servers with the product.
  • Patch management.
  • Inventory data.
  • Reports based on inventory data.
  • Console hangs, inconsistent UX design makes daily usage slower and more difficult.
  • Reported bugs, defects in design, or enhancements often appear to go unresolved unless deemed critical application failures.
  • Quality Assurance of releases is hit or miss. Sometimes there seem to be more bugs introduced than resolved.
EPM does a really good job historically of patch management for OS and third-party patching. Third-party patching is generally quite difficult given that the OS is usually the main focus, but third party applications are a valid attack vector. EPM also does a good job of automating provisioning builds It has the potential to grow and expand even further with continued development. Identifying system information and reporting is another key area that EPM is very useful. Areas, where it is not well suited, tends to be small. There is a lot the system can do, but it generally takes someone who knows it well to accomplish the task. Agent-less software deployment similar to Ansible is totally feasible, but it's not intuitive or marketed in towards this type of software deployment.

We are currently using Ivnati Unified Endpoint Manager to manage all our lab and staff/faculty desktop and laptops. We perform OS Provisioning, deploy software, remote support and very soon will implement patch management.
  • Provisioning machines.
  • Automating software deployments.
  • Troubleshooting with end users.
  • Reducing the amount of bugs with updated/new software.
  • Better alerting of problematic events like hung scheduling or inventory service.
  • Better alerting capabilities through email or prompts on the server/console side.
  • Ability to continue a template where it last left off, even if failed.
Ivanti UEMP has helped our organization improve our OS provisioning and maintenance of systems. We are able to better support our customrs with remote support that works every time. We have seen a significantly lower amount of times we have to re-image a machine with a layered approach to system imaging and provisioning.

We use Ivanti Endpoint Manager for machine imaging, software distribution, patching, and remote control access. It is also used as an asset tracking tool. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is being used by Moody College but is in the process of being rolled out by the University for all colleges. The product allows us to manage several hundred machines with minimal staff. We also have it integrated with the service desk to manage our ticket system. With this integration, we have a full picture of our equipment's life cycle.
  • Remote control access
  • Software distribution
  • Task scheduling
  • Apple's Mac imaging has always been an issue (This is not totally Ivanti's fault).
  • Distribution packages for Macs can be problematic.
  • We sometimes have high failure rates with scheduled tasks on a machine group.
  • Error codes are not specific enough. Sometimes it is easier to do a task manually instead of trying to figure out the error.
Ivanti seems to work great in the Windows world. If you have a lot of Macs in your environment that require regular re-imaging this might not be the best tool.

LANDESK -- Worth it?

Score 7 out of 10

We replaced Remedy BRC with LANDESK (now called Ivanti UEM but to all us it is still LANDESK) about 2 years ago. The biggest difference was in terms of feature set and expandability. Both are good CRMs/ticketing systems but where Remedy would only do just that, we have additional functionality for Asset Management, Reporting (via Xtraction), and most importantly, System Administration (think SCCM replacement....HII, Remote Management, App Deployment...the whole 9 yards. We hold on to SCCM for the integrated Endpoint Security and Windows patching).

Overall we've had some issues, especially with HII (hardware independent imaging) but once you've got a solution that works it tends to work very nicely. Better than SCCM's procedure to spin off to HD users for new PC builds. Other things that have come up are minor (I prefer SCCM's reports...app deployment in the Landesk GUI looks like a 1999 SharePoint InfoPath form...). The good things definitely outweigh the bad so overall it is absolutely a positive change. I don't think anyone on our team would want to move back to Remedy now. It hasn't replaced SCCM completely like it is billed but it does add value over SCCM so I'm fine supporting both in our environment.

PROS:
  • Hugely expandable and wide feature set
  • Modern and good-looking web portals for HD users
  • Recieved Good Support when I needed to call in to Ivanti
CONS:
  • High Cost
  • Weird naming/database conventions for ticketing...you'll have a bit of a learning curve figuring out what the difference between "Resolved" and "Closed" mean as well as how the data is stored in the DB
  • You'll only get out of it what you put in it. Much like a DB, put no effort into learning Landesk and it won't be all that it is cracked up to be. Many features require extensive configuration or customization before you get the end product you want.
  • HII - very slick and painless image updates once configured properly. Not a big deal anymore to get a new model of laptop from HP when you can re-use the same gold image once you've pulled any computer specific drivers from the new laptops and inserted it into the gold image.
  • Feature Set - Need pretty pictures? Tie in Xtraction and boom, you're building graphics that make using SCOM seem like 1999. Need Lifecycle Management? Add in Asset Management and you've got all you're warrenty information covered and accessible by the same portal your HD tech's are using pulling up user tickets.
  • Setup - Boy it is a pain to configure everything correctly. Be aware that you'll probably be giving an AD service account some God rights to get everything working....and security just loves that....
  • Cost - Boy you have to pay for everything. I suppose it lets you buy into just what you want but having repeated items go through procurement is a pain if your procurement branch is a pain.
Best suited for medium or large environments without SCCM or alternatives already. It can cover 90% of what you'll need to do as a systems administrator with just what LANDESK can do with a couple of modules added.

For those who already have SCCM and a Help Desk CRM then the question is about the benefit of IT consolidation and the actual improvements you'll see in LANDESK over those others. It might be worth the cost (we thought it did) but that's up to the organization and could be very situational dependent.

Bottom line is that I can assure you that if you have it you'll use it for something How much you use it is up to you.

IEM server certain areas of our customers production environment and serves as a great alternative as a way to manage, automate tasks like deploying and monitoring software installs on targeted devices and for gathering metrics on device usage among other details. It's an easy to manage product with great support and documentation.
  • Ease of management (sysadmin).
  • Simple deployment to assets.
  • Valuable quantifiable data and reporting tools.
  • Broader more granular reporting options.
  • More robust security controls, they are great but I believe it could go a bit deeper in certain specific cases.
  • Mobile device management dashboard/console could use some improvement.
When provisioning multiple devices and managing software installs and their sequential patching goes, this is a great automation tool sure to save you time and effort. Ivanti has taken Landesk's IP and improved on it greatly in the latest release. There are a few licensing modules sure to please most businesses and the support, as with other Ivanti products, is fantastic.

It is used by various IT departments at our main campus. It addresses the business problem of having to do things physically in person. With this software, we can deploy software/images remotely. We can remote into other PCs and fix a problem without leaving our desk, which allows us to still work on other things if we're updating that PC. It allows us to create sites to group labs into and update an entire lab at once.
  • Push software remotely. If someone needs software installed or updated, I can push it without them having to be there as long as the PC is on.
  • Imaging remotely. I can image a PC in place without having to bring to back to my office.
  • Remoting on to a PC to manually do something that can't be pushed.
  • Error codes are not always specific, when you don't know how to troubleshoot them it becomes easier to just do the task manually.
  • Better Mac support. While the client has gotten better since becoming Ivanti, there's still room for improvement.
  • Improving "My Tasks" section, I was advised not to use this because it can cause tasks to fail.
For an environment where it is majority PCs, this would be ideal because you can maintain them remotely. If you have a larger Mac environment and less PCs, another suite better suited for Macs would be better and the PCs can be done manually. Not sure if there is a solution for both.

We utilize Ivanti Endpoint Manager on all of our endpoints around the organization.

We use it daily to provide remote support, push tasks and fixes we have built, and also use it as our patch management solution.

  • Updated Device inventory
  • Security information
  • If I need information off a device(s) I can build a task or query to find those machines.

  • Haven’t experienced any issues on the Ivanti side. Only issues are our admins not pushing to fulfill all the features that Ivanti possesses.
It is well suited to work with end users on keeping the software and security up to date on their computers. It is essential that we have a client to send updates in an ever-changing IT world.

Ivanti Endpoint Manager (IEM) is used by our organization to distribute software to client endpoints, distribute security patches, and collect inventory data about the hardware and software that our associates use. It is primarily used by the IT department to allow us to manage the endpoints. It increases our security profile, ensures that user's software stays updated, and keeps support cost lower by driving homogeneity, and increased automation.
  • Collects inventory data that allows us to manage software licenses more accurately.
  • Distributes security patches, not just for Microsoft OS, but also for third-party applications.
  • Makes installation of standard software across multiple geographies simple.
  • Provisioning is not as simple to implement as it could be.
  • There are often multiple ways to accomplish a task, and it isn't always clear which path is the best.
If you are supporting users all over the world, IEM makes supporting endpoints there, as easy as if they are across the hall. Supports many ways to create software distribution that will truly push software to users, both in and out of the office.

We have been using Ivanti Endpoint Manager formerly known as LANDESK for the patching of Windows, third-party software, drivers and updates. This is the tool used for security updates and reporting and we do all our provisioning through Ivanti.

Also, we have done software deployment and all the Windows upgrades through Ivanti are so simple. I can say this is our one-stop shop for all our software deployment and Windows patching updates and upgrades.
  • Software Deployment
  • Heavy while installing a console on a local machine
One of the great functions it has and we have recently used was renewing all the endpoint computers to our standards which we did through them. The other challenge we had was to reset all the local admin passwords of the machines we have globally which we did easily through Ivanti (LANDESK).

We are currently using Endpoint Manager across all of our endpoints company-wide. It has helped us to scan our network and take in all our assets, making it easy to patch company computers and/or install needed software. It solved the problem of finding old or lost assets and we can now track what we have a lot better. Being able to remote into each machine through Ivanti is also helpful to verify the work that has been done. We can also see all kinds of different reports that help other departments know what work is needed to keep the company safe.
  • The Patch Management portion of Ivanti Endpoint Manager is great. To be able to group computers together, and to push patches and updates to a test group first is key to making patching successful. Ivanti makes this easy to do.
  • The Discovery tool has been great for us. After doing a network scan we were able to find some of our 'lost' assets and can better track what we have on our network.
  • It's an added bonus that we can use the console to remote into network machines and verify any work that has been done, or be able to troubleshoot issues with a user.
  • Ivanti Endpoint Manager is a complicated program. It seems like there are multiple ways of doing the same thing or it takes me forever to find what I am trying to see or do. It is a useful program, but you'll be spending a lot of time figuring things out.
  • Needs to be more user-friendly, to make it a little bit easier to use would go a long way with your customers.
Ivanti Endpoint Manager is a very powerful program. It is a great product that can work for medium and large businesses to manage their endpoints. It makes patch management easy, and to be able to silently install software from our IT office has saved us a lot of time. It is a great product that just needs more fine-tuning to make it more user-friendly.

We are currently using it to manage all of our endpoints company-wide. Started with just the IT department and branched out. It has solved a ton of issues for us with asset tracking, being able to remotely manage an endpoint and provide some transparency and reporting for other departments.
  • The patch management is awesome. I can approve a group of patches and have it pushed out to a group of endpoints.
  • The endpoint discovery is very useful. Able to not only see each endpoint but get a good idea of what software is installed, which is very useful for reporting and licensing.
  • The software is such a beast, just being able to set up and use all of the features does take some work. I'm still finding things that it can do. Be prepared to spend quite a bit of time with it.
  • The software distribution could use some improvement. Integrate better with the software discovery.
It is quite powerful. Great for a large company trying to manage and solve multiple objectives with a single product. Would be a little too much for anyone with less than say 200 endpoints to manage.
