We performed a comparison between BMC Client Management and Jamf School based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of the solution are patch management and software license management."
"One feature I like, that was especially valuable during the pandemic, is remote control. Remote control grants administrators and support personnel access to the laptops and PCs of employees (who might be working from home) in order to fix any issues that come up as and when they come up, even without having to wait for a support request."
"It's a scalable solution. We have deployed it for customers using 3000 nodes to those using 300,000 nodes."
"The support from BMC Client Management is very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its patching capabilities and the help it offers when it comes to use cases, like prompting for the reboot after a certain period of time."
"The inventory and patch management tools are very valuable."
"The overall usage is the most valuable, and it's a clear upgrade from our previous system."
"Many features of Jamf School, including automated device enrollment, have helped us manage multiple devices."
"The solution protects all our Apple products like iPads and MacBooks."
"It was straightforward to initially deploy it."
"The on-premises version of BMC Client Management has powerful remote control functionality and decent compliance features, but these features both rely on the discovery tool in order to gain a complete set of insights about the endpoint's environment. Now, BMC's discovery solution depends on having an agent installed in each endpoint and sometimes the agent doesn't work properly, making it difficult to get an accurate understanding of the environment (including special topologies) even with BMC's discovery tool."
"BMC Client Management could improve in the area of integration."
"It would be good if BMC Client Management can perform vulnerability assessment scanning at the endpoint on its own and mitigate that. Then, we wouldn't have to rely on a third party VA tool. I would like to see this application move to being a web-based one."
"The solution needs to add whitelisting because many customers request it."
"BMC Client Management supports only iOS devices. It would be good if they would support Android as well."
"The solution does not offer the functionality of remote access to users."
"If you start the system update in Jamf School, you cannot stop it."
"The product must improve its price."
"There is room for improvement with the security aspects, like scripting."
"Having everything centralized would be a preferable update."
