We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity and Jamf Pro 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.
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Although we have not looked at the whole product and explored it completely, we find that all the authentication features that we are using now are valuable."
"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"The user interface is great."
"Automating the refresh of the devices is huge for both sides of the end-user experience."
"The self-service is awesome for empowering end-users, especially if you don't allow admin rights."
"The solution has good integration with Google and has high performance for our Mac fleet of devices."
"The ability to put a device into a lost mode state that will report locations as it checks in has allowed us to retrieve so many lost devices."
"The time that we save in hours for new deployments, redeployments, application upgrades and OS upgrades more than makes up for the cost of the product."
"It's as easy as procuring the licensing for the apps and then setting it to the volume purchasing back in Jamf."
"We can put certain devices into smart groups based off of device name, department, etc."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"It doesn't economize when you scale up. We have over 14,000 employees, and we have between 7,500 and 8,000 city-owned or personal devices being used to conduct city business. Its price can be improved. It is not a cheap solution."
"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 synchronization could be improved."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The integration should be made easier."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"An in-house chat room would be a great way to communicate with your team when you aren't physically present with them."
"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."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac."
"I'd like to see Jamf add Unified Endpoint Management, but it's not going to happen. It's too complex. We tried that for so many years, and no one can do this for Windows and macOS. It can be done with iOS, but that's not the case here. If you want device management for a real laptop operating system, you need two systems. They're very different."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"If I had to suggest an area of improvement would be the UI. It can be very all over the place and complex."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
