Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Simplifies device management, making performing various administrative tasks easier
Sometimes, the server gets slow. The dashboard is only getting loaded. Jamf Pro offers many features, but some improvements could make it even more user-friendly. For example, streamlining authentication controls would enhance its security value. Too many complex settings on the dashboard make it hard for users to navigate. Simplifying the settings would make it easier to use. Adding a more interactive and cleaner UI design would also improve the user experience. Additionally, automatically categorizing policies and configurations by type would be helpful, making the dashboard more organized. Introducing auto-filtering based on categories would streamline configuration management. On the security side, enabling two-factor authentication for console login would provide better protection than single sign-on. Only authorized users can access sensitive data, like the asset inventory stored in the console. 2FA would help keep the system secure, preventing unauthorized access even if login credentials are compromised. Device management needs automation, and Jamf is likely to integrate Apple's Apple Intelligence into its framework once it's available. This integration is expected to be a significant enhancement for the Jamf console, potentially transforming the way device management is handled.

Comprehensive remote support simplifies customer integration
There is always room for improvement. Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage. We've raised this with Samsung, and it is on their roadmap. Also, there is an issue with the assignment of licenses where Knox Asset Intelligence and Knox Management sometimes deploy on different licenses. We've discussed this with Samsung for potential improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"Comparing this to having an endpoint management solution, the efficiency gain may be up to 80%."
"It is a helpful tool to manage BYOD policies."
"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."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier. It allows us to deploy applications, packages, Windows updates, and security updates like BitLocker encryption more efficiently and easily."
"I have been using Jamf Pro for a few years now, and I'm impressed with its functionality and ease of use."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"We found the initial setup to be simple."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have."
"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."
"Automating the refresh of the devices is huge for both sides of the end-user experience."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
 

Cons

"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing."
"One drawback of Intune is that we cannot find devices based on a user's region or location."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"I would love to see more integration with ASM and ABM."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"It would be great if we get an email notification when the Mac users install any apps, so IT can be alerted."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"There should be an option for exporting the data for reporting purposes so that we can give that to the higher-ups, such as CIO. We should be able to see bar graphs and charts on different data points. It would be great to have a good reporting tool to look at, for example, data points of how many versions of Adobe Acrobat we have in our environment in a bar graph or pie chart. They don't have anything like that. There is an application called Tableau Reader, which does statistics, and you can put a statistical or analytical aspect in there to extract data and share it on a graph or a pie chart. Such a tool would be great."
"We had some issues with its integration with other products, such as Intune. There were some issues with the way you have to register your device into Intune."
"Samsung Knox needs to expand customer features across all devices, not just Samsung devices."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"While I don't have access to high-level financial information, I believe we have achieved lower costs with this implementation."
"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."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."
"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."
"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"Intune is inexpensive. It also comes bundled in some Office 365 licenses, so you can choose to purchase it separately or as a package."
"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."
"JumpStart is available at an additional cost."
"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."
"This is a pricey solution."
"The cost of this solution is expensive but worth it."
"The cost of Jamf is certainly worth the investment."
"Depending on how much support you require, it might make sense to add that to the licensing agreement."
"The price of a training pass for five people was $18,000 USD."
