"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"The design of the GUI, as compared to other solutions, really makes a difference."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to apply apply granular level restrictions to our machines, making them easy to manage remotely from the backend."

It has good support for multiple operating systems and can easily manage them all. Not just that, but it can also support any kind of tool that can be run on all these operating systems."
"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."

"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."

"It would be amazing if they would give Apple TV management its own space in Jamf Pro and not just mix it in with devices."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"Jamf Pro could be improved by providing more out-of-the-box integration with other systems such as Active Directory, Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions, and other IT management tools."
"I would love to see more integration with ASM and ABM."
"It would be great if we get an email notification when the Mac users install any apps, so IT can be alerted."
"We had some issues with its integration with other products, such as Intune. There were some issues with the way you have to register your device into Intune."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
"VMware Workspace ONE can improve in virtual reality. Customers are now looking toward virtual reality devices. Though it supports virtual reality, it's treated as an Android device. Customers want to deal with VR devices, they want a specific VR tool. Not an Android device VR tool."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
