Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."I found that automated enrollment is very powerful because you can bring standardization to the environment."
"The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service."
"The self-service portal enables standard users to install and update software, change settings, and open organizational URLs."
"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."
"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."
"Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"Jamf has made it achievable for us to easily deploy & manage Apple devices anywhere in the world, without the need for hands-on assistance from IT staff."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to deploy patches to nearly all applications."
"Endpoint Manager is valuable to our organization because it allows us to connect to our enterprise from remote locations securely. The most useful feature is its robustness and scalability. It is highly scalable and flexible, allowing us to use it in various environments. Additionally, we can specialize the policies related to each device group. This ensures that each group has access to the applications they need for their work and non-work hours."
"The product is very stable compared to older versions."
"I like a lot of the reporting capabilities and baseline configurations."
"I like the data collection."
"Offers good patching."
"The product is useful for patch management."
"I like its ease of use. It does what you need it to do, and it's a one-stop-shop for the company and for all your deployments. If you incorporate Intune into it, you can have both. You can bring your own devices and corporate devices, and everything runs out of SCCM and Intune."
"A dark mode would for sure be appreciated."
"Inventory reporting could be better, however, that is already slated to improve with some of the new features Apple has announced in WWDC 2022."
"We would like to have some of the extension attributes configured so that those extension attributes can be part of the core structure. They can make some of the extension attributes the actual attributes. They shouldn't be like add-ons."
"It will be very helpful if we could restore users after they have been removed from Jamf because I have some cases of deleting a computer before unlocking it."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"Currently, you need to scroll through pages and pages of icons (we have many icons that have been uploaded), and it can be tedious."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"I would like to see improved integration of some of the additional tools that users create within Jamf itself."
"The operations could be faster and you need some patience with this tool."
"The tool's deployment is complex and depends on the architecture you want to implement."
"The configuration of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could be improved, it is a bit complicated."
"I want the system to provide some dependency relations. I would also like to see the relationship between different machines."
"The solution should be more compatible with different versions of Linux."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the synchronizing of the policies on the devices."
"With Microsoft Premier Support, you get what you pay for. There's Third Tier Support that you pay for. If you pay for that, you get excellent support, and if you don't pay for that, then you get the less experienced staff."
"The main room for improvement is the on-screen display. I think it would be good if some improvements were made."
