Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

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.

Consistently manages a large number of devices without downtime and offers quality support
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

"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"Microsoft Intune has helped us by improving our security posture, leading to fewer security problems, and helping us understand where we have issues."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"Intune makes our organization more secure and flexible."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is quite good because there's not much disturbance in the background; it's just running in the background."
"What I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that we can manage multiple devices simultaneously in a single frame of time, and I can manage everything remotely from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"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."
"For a dynamic MDM solution for macOS, I always recommend Jamf Pro."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"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."
"The solution has good integration with Google and has high performance for our Mac fleet of devices."
"From the reviews that we are getting, the feedback from the client, the tool is very good on the Jamf side - especially for the Macs."
"The self-service portal enables standard users to install and update software, change settings, and open organizational URLs."
"Samsung Knox is doing excellent work with its current offerings."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate the solution as a 10."
"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."
"Based on my experience and understanding, Samsung Knox is quite good, user-friendly, and top-notch."
"Samsung Knox has very seamless integration capabilities for deployment; we easily upload devices through the KME, Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment."
"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."
 

Cons

"Microsoft support was not very responsive, and it took approximately one and a half months to get on a call to clear what the problem was."
"Microsoft Intune lacks live location tracking capabilities."
"While the ability to deploy applications at startup is reliable, the policy-based application deployment method has not reached the same level of consistency."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"Installing software in Microsoft Intune can be challenging if it is not already prepackaged."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"There have been instances where enrolling devices should take 10 minutes but ends up taking an hour due to various issues."
"Some customers have reported experiencing slowness when using lower versions of the Android system."
"The self Service UI needs some real improvement; they recently revamped the app, but I don't know if those changes have been for the better."
"The patch management is not automated in any way, and you have to do a lot of manual work to upload the current version of applications."
"One feature or improvement that would be awesome is some sort of mobile app from Jamf that can be used to alert admins of custom alerts."
"The dashboard needs to be customizable."
"Some improvement can be made in the customer service realm, while also making additional training level courses available for online study and exam-taking."
"The user interface could be somewhat easier in terms of finding things."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
"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."
"We faced multiple issues when pushing configuration profiles and policies through Samsung Knox. The students were cracking the entire system."
"The main drawback is that they need to expand this product beyond Samsung devices to include every device."
"Features like private DNS would be very useful if pushed through Knox Manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"Microsoft Intune has a user-based subscription model. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment."
"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."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"I think it pays for itself to let Jamf host the server."
"The cost of any licensing is certainly outweighed by the time saved from manually managing Apple devices."
"They have a standard pricing model which they follow, and it's global."
"Cloud is worth the small increase in price, but make the switch before you need it, and not during a global pandemic."
"This is a pricey solution."
"This product is surely worth the cost of implementation."
"Depending on how much support you require, it might make sense to add that to the licensing agreement."
"The setup cost is in the training, which is the most important step of your journey."
