Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."The user interface is great."
"Some of the most valuable features for us include remote management, DEP enrollment, and zero-touch deployment."
"I found that automated enrollment is very powerful because you can bring standardization to the environment."
"The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively."
"Patch management and associated policies help us manage and update our fleet's software."
"There is support for Apple updates from day one. Jamf works closely with Apple, so they are ready to support new updates whenever Apple pushes them."
"As an administrator, I really love the integration with Apple Business Manager."
"Jamf is stable, reliable, secure and you have lots of customization options."
"We are happy with the collaboration of SCCM with Patch My PC, which allows us to do patch work."
"It's a stable product."
"It uses detailed descriptions of the workstations, and that is good for me."
"Technical support was helpful and responsive."
"Valuable features include configurations enforcement, compliance data gathering, and deployment of a standardized OS."
"This solution has made life easy with respect to patching, compliance, and OSD."
"What's valuable is the basic management of the systems, being able to control who can access the systems."
"We're a Microsoft-centric organization, so we are happy with the integration between products."
"I wish there was a profile that could be created for configuring Apple software updates on a global basis for our devices, via a configuration profile."
"There's only one thing that I would like to see improved. It's potentially being worked on right now, actually. That is the ability to provide remote support access to use those devices. I'd like it to work in a similar manner to Desktop Central or other solutions like Team Viewer."
"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."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"I can only say that I would love to see a more customizable dashboard."
"There should be an option for exporting the data for reporting purposes so that we can give that to the higher-ups, such as CIO. We should be able to see bar graphs and charts on different data points. It would be great to have a good reporting tool to look at, for example, data points of how many versions of Adobe Acrobat we have in our environment in a bar graph or pie chart. They don't have anything like that. There is an application called Tableau Reader, which does statistics, and you can put a statistical or analytical aspect in there to extract data and share it on a graph or a pie chart. Such a tool would be great."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac."
"The patch management is not automated in any way, and you have to do a lot of manual work to upload the current version of applications."
"Devices like smartphones and tablets are managed very well on VMware, however, they are absent in SCCM. I could configure iPad from the VMware site and it was done very easily. It should be just as possible on SCCM."
"As far as load balancing across, they don't have that support yet, so that you can actually build multiple primaries and have it load balance across. They don't have any of that functionality yet. That would be a nice feature, to scale that way."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
"One area of improvement is regarding the patching of Office 365 products. We have some difficulties on this side, and it can be improved."
"This solution needs to be supported on all Operating systems."
"Cloud-based improvements need to be better managed."
"The TSM component could be improved."
"The product needs to improve scalability."
