Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Has supported centralized management of all Apple devices while ensuring high security and compliance
I have not encountered many areas for improvement, but there are feature requests submitted to Jamf Pro for reporting purposes that they are working on. Jamf Pro continues to increase its capabilities. One improvement I would recommend is integrating Jamf Setup Manager as an inbuilt feature. Currently, it is a separate tool that needs to be installed and integrated with Jamf Pro. Having zero-touch capability as an inbuilt feature would eliminate the need to work with scripts and configurations. The pricing of Jamf Pro is relatively high. Jamf Pro does not have a fixed price for all organizations. Based on my experience, they offer discounts inconsistently. Due to the high pricing, many organizations are moving to InTune and Workspace ONE. There are many other tools in the market for Mac OS device management, such as ScaleFusion, Addigy, and Kandji. Small organizations are moving to these alternatives, and larger organizations with fewer security concerns are moving to InTune. Despite being expensive, I still rate Jamf Pro highly because of its security features and comprehensive management capabilities for Mac OS devices.

Great features with very good function management
Our customers are pretty happy with the product. It uploads files, creates a secure virtual compartment for corporate applications. If it's on-prem, you can use it with mobile phones or tablets that don't have access to the internet using intranet with wireless access points. That's a big plus for government institutions as it enables the management of a large fleet of devices without any outside interference. That is the most significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, the best features of Microsoft Intune are its ease of management and robust security protocols, which are what I value most about it and how it stands out."
"The management control feature is the most valuable."
"I would rate Microsoft Intune a nine out of ten."
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"After implementing Microsoft Intune, we have seen a 50 to 70% reduction in device provisioning time and a 30 to 40% reduction in routine endpoint management efforts, allowing our IT team to focus less on routine management and providing faster software deployment while experiencing a significant reduction in support tickets."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable and our clients are satisfied."
"There is support for Apple updates from day one, as Jamf works closely with Apple, so they are ready to support new updates whenever Apple pushes them."
"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."
"Jamf Pro’s similarities to Microsoft’s SCCM for Windows assets helped me prove that Macs can be as useful, if not more than Windows in some cases, and very easy to secure and keep secure, even with major upgrades."
"I am most excited about a feature that is called User-Initialed Enrollment."
"Jamf Pro is useful for making Mac devices compliant with organizational security requirements, as organizations can block unwanted features that might lead to data breaches, such as iPhone mirroring and screen sharing, ensuring devices remain compliant and secure."
"Jamf Pro gives you control at a granular level such as blocking specific USB devices being used with hardware."
"We use this solution to manage over seven thousand iPads, three hundred and fifty Apple TVs and eighteen hundred computers, with one wonderful system."
"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."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"It can improve for new users; in the starting phase, we found that the logs are too complex or scattered."
"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"Without changing it, you cannot deploy it, so that's a limitation from the Microsoft Intune side."
"Reporting in Microsoft Intune presents challenges because the built-in reports are often too basic."
"There are differences in protecting the data on a mobile device and on iOS. When you protect the data on iOS, you protect the entire device."
"The technical support needs improving."
"I'd like to see Jamf add Unified Endpoint Management, but it's not going to happen."
"The new remote support tool is still lacking features compared to other industry solutions."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"Some improvement can be made in the customer service realm, while also making additional training level courses available for online study and exam-taking."
"I would love for it to be able to be the only management tool of my organization. If it could do ticketing and non-Apple devices then that would be huge."
"I would love to see GSX (Apple Global Service Exchange) integration populate purchasing data during the enrollment process."
"The technical support for this solution is not that good."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"Microsoft Intune is reasonably priced for large organizations that already have Microsoft Enterprise licenses, but it is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"Its price is quite okay. I wish they provide certain additional features with the same license."
"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"It is cheap, but as compared to Google, it is costly. Google is cheaper, but quality-wise, Microsoft Intune is better."
"Based on the features that it gives, it is cost-efficient. It is not necessarily on the expensive side of the scale. It provides a hefty number of features that any organization would want. It is in a good price range."
"The cost of any licensing is certainly outweighed by the time saved from manually managing Apple devices."
"It would be beneficial if it could be reduced slightly."
"We have signed a licensing contract for three years. There is an option to buy an annual license subscription, but we opted for three years as it came with a 25% or 30% discount."
"Depending on how much support you require, it might make sense to add that to the licensing agreement."
"The setup cost is in the training, which is the most important step of your journey."
"Don’t go into a sales call without knowing all the details of your system because Jamf has a ton of tools outside of Jamf Pro to offer and knowing them ahead of time is a must."
"They have a standard pricing model which they follow, and it's global."
"Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."
