JamF Pro vs VMware Workspace One
We performed a comparison between JamF Pro and VMware Workspace One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: JamF Pro is a PeerSpot user favorite due to dynamic features such as zero-touch deployment, numerous API integrations, Automated Device Enrollment, and device lost mode retrieval. JamF Pro is easily customizable, easy to deploy, and is an excellent tool for those organizations heavily vested in an Apple ecosystem. The consistently excellent service they provide makes it a solid, reliable solution.
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"The user interface is great."
"It is a great tool. Its ease of use is fantastic. It is very simple, and you don't really have a high learning curve with this."
"The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively."
"We are able to manage our full fleet of devices and can simply integrate with all of our systems."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"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."
"We were able to dramatically enhance our cybersecurity, and better support our users."
"I can set policies to manage devices by many variables OR keep it simple by leveraging DEP to assign new devices the standard apps."
"No issues with scalability."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"I am always complaining about the reporting side of things. I love how reporting lets us create custom reports, however, I also feel like it could use some updating."
"I'd like to see Jamf add Unified Endpoint Management, but it's not going to happen. It's too complex. We tried that for so many years, and no one can do this for Windows and macOS. It can be done with iOS, but that's not the case here. If you want device management for a real laptop operating system, you need two systems. They're very different."
"There is still no feature for properly patching T2 Security Chip-enabled Macs."
"The on-going improvements & innovation that Jamf provides over time is something that needs to be maintained, as it is what is needed to fulfill a business & team need at the right time."
"The solution should offer beta testing for new products."
"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."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"If I had to suggest an area of improvement would be the UI. It can be very all over the place and complex."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"We'd like more useful support."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
