The software enables efficient remote deployment of software/images, troubleshooting, and quick management of thousands of computers across different locations.

Reviews
(1-6 of 6)Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager is Unparalleled
- 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
- 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.
Ivanti EPM gets better every year!
- 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 Endpoint Manager is great
- 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.
Ivanti can save you time
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.
- More stable versions (Not having to completely update my core on a yearly basis)
- Updating community documents sooner (A lot of KB's are outdated)
LANDesk now Ivanti a beneficial tool for the HelpDesk
- Imaging- using ImageX or another tool you can use LANDesk to scan your network and automatically deploy to bare metal computers when they first connect to the network based on PXE Boot.
- Management- you can use LANDesk to push software applications, windows updates and monitor the inventory of each PC in the system. You can trigger reports based on system changes to ensure your user population is not doing anything out of the ordinary. It also has remote control capabilities to allow your help desk to see what is happening on a user desktop.
- Monitoring- you can use the software license management portion of LANDesk to scan PC's and automatically generate compliance reports based on your thresholds for any software package detected in the environment. It scans both Add/Remove programs as well as the programs folder.
- Configuration can be tedious and takes some time. Once you become familiar with the many aspects of the system it can go faster.
- Setting up software deployment can be frustrating due to unknown system responses given. A better FAQ on return codes would be helpful.
- Setting up automated patching is a long process.
