We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and ManageEngine Endpoint Central based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"It's easy to manage."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"Jamf Pro allows us to manage all Apple devices from a single interface, making it easy to deploy and configure software, set policies, and inventory devices."
"Jamf has made it achievable for us to easily deploy & manage Apple devices anywhere in the world, without the need for hands-on assistance from IT staff."
"Microsoft SSO integration allows us to set up email remotely for users without them having to do anything other than entering their password."
"Automated Device Enrollment workflows are great for zero-touch deployments, vital in the current global context. With Automated Device Enrollment workflows, we can deploy new Apple devices directly to end-users without help from the IT support team."
"My team use this solution to provide end-to-end support on our managed Mac fleet. This includes doing OS updates and upgrades, application deployments, configuration settings and outlining."
"Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge."
"I found that automated enrollment is very powerful because you can bring standardization to the environment."
"The most valuable features in Jamf Pro are the policies and config profiles, making our life easy to manage many different things in one place."
"One of the benefits of Desktop Central is it made the provisioning process simpler because now we have a provisioning package. We have around 1,500 laptops at the moment and all these PCs were provisioned by a provisioning package. In the provisioning package, we have integrated every aspect of renaming, deploying applications, patching, etc., so we simply execute the provisioning package and as soon as it's executed, it will install the management agent. Once the agent is installed, it will take care of all the tasks, so we don't have to sit in front of the computer to prepare the machine. This really helps us to provision the PC quickly with our agent."
"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management capabilities, especially for third-party applications, along with quick and easy configuration and deployment processes."
"Page management and ADA integrations are the most valuable features of ManageEngine Endpoint Central."
"In terms of technical capability, it is doing very well. It is doing better than other industry products. It is at a place where we can compare it with Microsoft products. Its scalability is also good."
"The mobile functionality is very easy."
"Honestly, I have to say all features together have become the Swiss army knife of desktop management. They all work hand in hand. Software deployment saves an unbelievable amount of time installing an application on hundreds of computers."
"The initial setup process is good."
"Everything is easily centralized and managed under this one product."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"I would like to have the ability to push scripts using MDM commands."
"I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro."
"Jamf could improve versioning as in outright blocking OS upgrades OR improving maintaining every application’s update feature. As of now, only some apps, like Flash, have managed updates."
"I am always complaining about the reporting side of things. I love how reporting lets us create custom reports, however, I also feel like it could use some updating."
"The product is pretty good as-is, but if anything could be improved I would say the UI could perhaps be a bit simpler. A mobile app to complement the web-based version, to perform specific tasks, would be nice to have - a good example of what I mean is the "Pulseway" MDM for Windows, they have a very useful and user-friendly mobile app."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"One of the big areas in need of improvement is automated device naming for computers."
"Each of their products is an independent product, and they don't have anything to do with each other. It is a suite of packages. They all run independently, and they all are a little different because they were acquired differently. They could standardize their portfolio."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"The MDM feature isn't very good. It doesn't support Amazon vendors."
"Improvement should be done as per customer requirements."
"There is a slight delay in customer support, which is something that can be improved."
"The product must provide more API integrations with different ERP tools."
"The solution is expensive."
"The support could be faster."
