Centralized endpoint security has improved and supports hybrid work and BYOD policies
Regarding what I dislike about Microsoft Intune and its downsides, I would say that more Mac controls are needed because we have limited Mac and Linux control. When comparing controls and policies between Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows has almost everything you can think of, while Mac and Linux have limited types of control. You cannot implement certain things on Mac and Linux that you can on Windows. The limited controls are a major issue. Additionally, if Microsoft could find a way to embed servers into Microsoft Intune, that would be beneficial. Microsoft Intune is not really designed for servers or Windows servers. It is more tailored towards Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. Windows servers are not fully supported. Enterprise organizations usually have both servers and endpoints, which are users' workstations. For servers, most people look for other solutions such as SCCM, which is Configuration Manager. However, SCCM is what Microsoft Intune is trying to replace. Both SCCM and Microsoft Intune belong to Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to transition organizations into Microsoft Intune, the native cloud solution. However, because this update is still in process, servers are not fully compatible with Microsoft Intune and cannot be managed by it. The current policy that has emerged from issues with clients is what they call co-management, which is relatively new, and I do not know if adoption is significant. Many legacy or older customers who have been using these products for decades still have SCCM. When it is time for them to manage their Windows devices, they use what is called cloud attach. Cloud attach is a term whereby your SCCM is connected to your Microsoft Intune. Most people do not know about it, but I have deployed it for several organizations. Cloud attach and co-management work together so that your device is in SCCM, but some policies are pushed from Microsoft Intune. It is like two different solutions working hand in hand. That is what they call co-management. Microsoft Intune does not bring all of your endpoint and security management tools into one place, which is the goal and how it should be. However, as I mentioned, servers are not included. If we talk about end users, Microsoft Intune does bring all your devices together. In a typical enterprise environment, you have end users with workstations, laptops, company-issued phones, and bring your own devices. You can create policies for all of these. However, for the backend, your servers do not have much coverage. Servers are not really covered by Microsoft Intune in that way.

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.

In terms of areas where they could improve, if they provided solutions for every OEM, similar to what every other MDM platform is doing, that would be beneficial. For example, products such as InTune and MobileIron have no limitations. They support both iOS devices and Android devices. However, Samsung Knox specifically targets Samsung devices only. If they develop a solution that supports everything, along with the selling of devices and the product, they could achieve more business. Samsung Knox does not require any maintenance on my end.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Intune has been a valuable solution for improving endpoint management, security compliance, and remote administration in my environment; it has highly simplified device management operations and improved overall visibility and control over managed devices."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is that it brings the management of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux under a single pane of glass."
"I find what is most valuable about Microsoft Intune is how, at the granular level, it allows us to manage the devices."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Microsoft Intune helps us avoid issuing everyone company-owned devices. We provide a stipend, allowing users to bring their own devices. This approach gives us leverage against other MSPs. It also enhances collaboration because clients already covered by specific licensing can optimize their usage of Microsoft Intune."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible. We can onboard new employees faster and more securely. We are a governmental organization with strict regulations, and Intune helps us comply with those requirements."
"The management control feature is the most valuable."
"The design of the GUI, as compared to other solutions, really makes a difference."
"Being able to place troubleshooting scripts in the hands of end-users has changed the game."
"Using this solution has brought order to chaos."
"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."
"The time that we save in hours for new deployments, redeployments, application upgrades and OS upgrades more than makes up for the cost of the product."
"I am very satisfied with Jamf Pro."
"The self-service portal and auto-enroll are great, as self-service has reduced the number of support tickets incredibly by allowing end users to search for and find available and approved software and download and install it themselves, saving time for both the end user and the IT department."
"Zero-touch deployment saves tons of time."
"The most valuable feature of Samsung Knox is the endpoint protection it offers. Users have the ability to perform a factory reset without the need for a hard reset, which is very beneficial."
"Samsung Knox has good support for data protection, especially when using devices for profile installations, firmware updates, or configuration suites, as they are all data protected with a double layer of protection using our own MDM server alongside Samsung Knox services."
"It's a very good product that any organization can use to help manage their devices."
"Samsung Knox is essential because you can centrally manage all your devices, including Android devices, iPhones, and Windows devices, in one platform at an affordable price, improving your security with GPOs and different policies, which is crucial in these times when we need to secure all communications, software, and various components against hackers."
"One portal for all the features and the remote support capability in Samsung Knox is highly valued. The enterprise editions and the free Knox Suite licenses for one year are also beneficial."
"Samsung Knox functions as a UEM (User Endpoint Management); for IT professionals, certain features help save time, and we enable IT professionals and technical teams of organizations by training them, handling deployments, and assisting with troubleshooting when needed."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
"Samsung Knox is doing excellent work with its current offerings."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"Reporting needs to be better. Sometimes, it is way too slow, and it is not even accurate."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved by making the UI more intuitive, enhancing reporting and analytics for better visibility, simplifying troubleshooting and error messaging, and improving performance and policy sync speed in larger environments."
"I have been trying to contact technical support but haven't been able to reach anyone."
"I'd suggest adding more features for macOS in Intune. There should be more functionality for managing macOS. There should be a better capability for pushing things down on macOS. Currently, Intune is not capable of managing macOS at the same level as Windows."
"There is always a noise when you are going to manage any endpoint devices, and noise is definitely there with this solution."
"Intune should improve its software inventory to provide better metering of which software is used throughout the company. This is especially needed for reporting third-party software solutions."
"They need to alphabetize payloads. Also, they need to add service management/managed login payloads for configuration profiles."
"A dark mode would for sure be appreciated."
"I wish the inventory would have its own pane without having to do it as a search."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"Patch Management needs work to be efficient."
"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."
"The solution only makes sense if you have a lot of macOS products in your company."
"It would be amazing if they would give Apple TV management its own space in Jamf Pro and not just mix it in with devices."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
"Improvements could be made for features such as data services, which do not work properly with devices not manufactured by Samsung, although they do function well with Samsung devices."
"The primary disadvantage is that it's not totally integrated with the Microsoft environment."
"We faced multiple issues when pushing configuration profiles and policies through Samsung Knox. The students were cracking the entire system."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"Profile customization needs improvement. Samsung Knox currently has some intelligence features, but there are limitations in this console."
"We face challenges with the application launcher when testing firmware versions, especially for kiosk mode."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Microsoft Intune is pretty reasonable. We have difficulty with Azure, which is probably why we have not put many assets in Azure. Everything we put there is very expensive."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"The setup is pricey upfront for support and setup."
"Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."
"The setup cost is in the training, which is the most important step of your journey."
"This is a pricey solution."
"The cost of Jamf is certainly worth the investment."
"JumpStart is available at an additional cost."
"I think it pays for itself to let Jamf host the server."
"The price difference between Jamf Pro and VMware Workspace One is not very much, but when counting the cost of my time, Jamf Pro is clearly much better."
