Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider.""Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices.""The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me.""Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great.""It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources.""The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package.""The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android.""The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."

More Microsoft Intune Pros →

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage.""The company provides great customer service.""It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use.""The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration.""The user interface is user-friendly."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM Pros →

"Apple School Manager integration and access to VPP content made the integration of devices into our fleet flawless and application installation much simpler and faster.""Automated Device Enrollment workflows are great for zero-touch deployments, vital in the current global context. With Automated Device Enrollment workflows, we can deploy new Apple devices directly to end-users without help from the IT support team.""The self-service portal to share scripts and other tasks that have extremely minimized the need for calls to our support teams, or even sharing the applications we package and allowing users to pick and choose what apps they need or want, instead of just blanket installing everything from our old environment.""The self-service is awesome for empowering end-users, especially if you don't allow admin rights.""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.""One of the most valuable features is the ability to apply apply granular level restrictions to our machines, making them easy to manage remotely from the backend.""The most valuable feature is the self-service, which lets users install their preferred application instead of installing all applications and filling the machine with junk.""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."

More Jamf Pro Pros →

Cons
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement.""The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite.""The installation could be improved to be simplified.""There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough.""We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure.""In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop.""Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security.""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."

More Microsoft Intune Cons →

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler.""UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated.""The interface is complicated and not very easy to use.""The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that.""MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM Cons →

"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac.""We need better reporting options.""The cheaper Jamf School is also a product that has been acquired and decked out to meet more educational needs for a good price. Some features of Jamf School aren't (yet?) available in Jamf Pro and for educational users/customers of Jamf Pro, it would beneficial to have these available in the Pro version too.""Every once in a blue moon, we wind up with a rarely-seen superbug that takes support weeks to months to solve.""There is still no feature for properly patching T2 Security Chip-enabled Macs.""The solution only makes sense if you have a lot of macOS products in your company.""I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation.""There needs to be a mass policy change tool."

    Overview

    Microsoft Intune is a comprehensive cloud-based service that allows you to remotely manage mobile devices and mobile applications without worrying about the security of your organization’s data. Device and app management can be used on company-owned devices as well as personal devices.

Microsoft Intune provides both the flexibility and the control needed for securing all your data on the cloud, no matter where the device with the data is located.

    Microsoft Intune Device Management Key Features

    With Microsoft Intune Device Management you can:

    • Ensure devices and apps are compliant with your security requirements.
    • Rapidly deploy and authenticate apps on all company devices.

    Mobile Application Management

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Intune stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to secure all devices under its management and the flexibility that the solution offers its users.

    A computing services manager notes, "Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."

    The head of IT engineering at a financial services company writes, "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 details 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."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jamf Pro stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Some of these include its app deployment, its easy installation, and the fact that it’s lightweight but powerful. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:

    An IT Support Specialist at Visby Medical writes, “The first most valuable feature I found was the ability to simply push out applications to devices, Mac or iPads/iPhones. It's as easy as procuring the licensing for the apps and then setting it to the volume purchasing back in Jamf.”

    Another reviewer, a Desktop Engineer at Kroger, notes, “The self-service portal to share scripts and other tasks that have extremely minimized the need for calls to our support teams, or even sharing the applications we package and allowing users to pick and choose what apps they need or want, instead of just blanket installing everything from our old environment.”
