Number of Seats/Users: Ivanti Device Control offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Ivanti Device Control that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Ivanti Device Control. Ivanti Device Control reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Ivanti Device Control offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Ivanti Device Control. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Ivanti Device Control often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase, our internal data shows that Ivanti Device Control tends to land in the “powerful but pricey” category for many Spendbase clients.

Key strengths our clients highlight
– Strong policy templates
– Blueprint-style profiles help standardize configurations across user groups and devices.
– Good fit for organizations that need strict, repeatable endpoint policies.
– Solid device control
– Effective at blocking unauthorized USB and removable media.
– Helpful encryption and data protection options at the endpoint level.

Common pain points
– High total cost of ownership
– Licensing is often above market averages for similar endpoint control / MDM tools.
– Add‑ons and scaling to more endpoints can push the budget higher than expected.
– Control gaps that weaken security intent
– Our internal feedback shows concerns when end users can disable GPS or other tracking features, which undermines core MDM use cases like asset tracking and loss prevention.
– Support and vendor changes
– Several Spendbase clients saw a drop in responsiveness and quality of support after product transitions and ownership changes.
– Slower resolution times increase the indirect cost of the tool.

Impact on budgets
Our benchmarking indicates:
– A significant share of Spendbase clients pay above the median price per managed endpoint for this category.
– Many are locked into multi‑year contracts with limited flexibility to scale down, even if usage is lower than planned.

Where Spendbase typically helps
As a discount and spend optimization partner, we usually focus on:
– Renegotiating licenses based on actual endpoint usage and true feature adoption.
– Separating “must-have” modules (e.g., USB blocking, encryption) from “nice-to-have” ones to cut unnecessary spend.
– Benchmarking Ivanti Device Control pricing against similar tools to secure discounts or improved contract terms.
– Building an exit or hybrid strategy if a client feels stuck with high costs and declining support.

Overall, Spendbase clients see Ivanti Device Control as a capable security solution, but often misaligned with budget expectations unless it’s tightly scoped, well negotiated, and continuously right‑sized.
