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."The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"It's easy to manage."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"It works pretty well for us."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"We can reconfigure a client’s setup remotely with minimal effort."
"The UI is easy to learn."
"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."
"It’s helped us manage our endpoints."
"Initial setup was easy."
"I have found the location analytics feature that is built into the APs to be the most valuable. It allows you to compare data and to single out individuals who are repeatedly coming into your store. We can observe different trends. This is what separates it from a lot of the other solutions."
"The most significant benefit is that the deployment is quick and painless. You don't need a specialized IT department to implement and scale the network. It's easy to maintain, too. It only requires one or two network administrators."
"The solution is simple."
"It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management."
"It offers professionals an endless amount of possibilities to keep users and the company happy."
"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."
"Navigation is straightforward. It's not hard to create policies and manage the device. It's a lot simpler to create smart groups, view inventory, and see what the estate looks like."
"Some of the most valuable features for us include remote management, DEP enrollment, and zero-touch deployment."
"We found the initial setup to be simple."
"Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have."
"Self Service empowers the user and allows them to install the software they need when they need it."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"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 price of the solution could be reduced."
"The price could be better."
"It would be beneficial to have better integration with other OS."
"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost."
"They need to allocate more energy in terms of their offering to devices that are not Apple devices."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. It is more difficult."
"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough."
"There needs to be a mass policy change tool."
"Jamf Pro currently is only used on Mac computers and could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems. We have to use other tools to manage our Windows and Android devices. There could be other improvements but I am still exploring and learning more about the features."
"Jamf should give the option to download individual device policy logs, as this capability would really help to diagnose issues."
"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."
"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."
"Every once in a blue moon, we wind up with a rarely-seen superbug that takes support weeks to months to solve."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"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."
