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

"There are many features in Microsoft Intune. For personal mobile devices, MDM is what I most prefer."
"I would say right now that Microsoft Intune is one of the best solutions."
"I find what is most valuable about Microsoft Intune is how, at the granular level, it allows us to manage the devices."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"Their price is really good, which is the reason customers move here, because as part of the Office 365 package, they always get the E365 as well, which makes it easy for them to manage their devices without having additional licenses for Intune."
"Intune simplifies compliance. The ability to manage software updates and policies on endpoints has helped us meet contract requirements."
"Since the introduction of Microsoft Intune, we have had the problem completely taken care of."
"The Mobile Device Management in Intune is a valuable feature."
"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."
"Jamf Pro has improved my organization because I can have all my computers up to date on certain software, and it's very convenient for me."
"Smart groups and just the way MDM works are valuable. We like all the features that they have. We try to use it as much as possible, and then we have the support and community involvement to reach out to."
"Self-service portal and simple package creation are the most valuable features."
"Without Jamf Pro, we would not have been so successful and quick at implementing such a high number of devices in our classrooms."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"The most valuable features of Jamf Pro for me are the device locator, which helps find missing iPads, and the ability to remotely manage and disable devices."
"Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices."
"Can manage a large fleet of devices without any outside interference."
 

Cons

"Intune has no remote control function for mobile phones to solve issues remotely for users."
"Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion."
"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 information we receive at the device level needs improvement."
"For additional functionality, I suggest that Microsoft could expand on asset management. Since the platform is there, they could develop it into a full-fledged asset management system."
"During the onboarding of Microsoft Intune, we faced the problem that the policies were not getting synced."
"Policy and app deployment should be faster, as it currently takes between minutes to hours to apply, with an average of one hour."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"Patch management: Software patching has fallen by the wayside for newer versions of Jamf as most users are implementing open source alternatives for keeping installed software patched."
"Technical support used to be better; the company has grown a lot, and their support has taken a nosedive in recent history."
"When we are creating or fetching the features, such as creating extension attributes, we face issues when we do not have a script and have to write a script, we need to create extension attributes."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd like that option available for Mac."
"It would be great if we get an email notification when the Mac users install any apps, so IT can be alerted."
"Jamf Pro should be standardized into one MDM product to make it more affordable and accessible."
"Patch management is an area that still needs focus and attention."
"Jamf should give the option to download individual device policy logs, as this capability would really help to diagnose issues."
"Lacks a factory reset feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"The cost is handled through our Office 365 license, so I have yet to be able to compare it directly with other tools in its class."
"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"Jamf Pro is on the expensive side and could be slightly cheaper."
"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."
"The only thing that is kicking us a bit is the rand to the dollar exchange rate. It is priced in dollars. Every time the rand goes worse, it just costs more. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing because it is very unpredictable because of the rand to the dollar exchange rate."
"Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."
"They have a standard pricing model which they follow, and it's global."
"The cost of this solution is expensive but worth it."
"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."
