We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security 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."If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"It's normally able to meet 100% expectations of our customers."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"If I need to deploy an app to all the laptops, I can use the smart group I created for them instead of choosing each device one at a time."
"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 self-service portal enables standard users to install and update software, change settings, and open organizational URLs."
"Jamf Pro allows us to manage all Apple devices from a single interface, making it easy to deploy and configure software, set policies, and inventory devices."
"The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service."
"The remote wipe and lock features are by far the best tools."
"It's as easy as procuring the licensing for the apps and then setting it to the volume purchasing back in Jamf."
"The action and trigger is the main thing for us. We like the kind of repetitive script which we can use there."
"The solution offers excellent documentation that is easily available online."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"The solution is scalable."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy."
"They need to integrate more with security options."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"Every once in a blue moon, we wind up with a rarely-seen superbug that takes support weeks to months to solve."
"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."
"Jamf needs to get an inbuilt remote support tool to allow the admin to remote into machines. At present, you can use third-party remote apps, however, a Jamf one would be better."
"Apple does block certain actions from happening or disallows Jamf from making certain changes."
"This solution would benefit from more focus on Self Service, such as Office 365 and GSuite integration."
"In some places, GUI could be more reactive."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"There are known issues with the mobile configs that need to be fixed."
"Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"The MDM part of the engine could be better."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required."
