Both posters have valid points. Both can now support a full OOB ( out-of-the-box) experience.  


JAMF has more bells and whistles, while Intune covers the basics.  


My executive summary is Intune is included with your Microsoft licensing, works on both Macs & Windows and covers the basics of everything you need.  It's a single point for policy/device management and metrics.  


JAMF can do much more in the MAC space, but it's additional (expensive) licensing, and won't work for your Windows space, so you will need to maintain another product and licensing.

In my view there is no comparing the two. JAMF is far superior if your talking about managing APPLE MAC machines and devices only. Jamf, previously known as Casper. Has been providing MDM solutions for years while Intune may be owned by big money and an even bigger name in MicroSoft. InTune is not nearly as easy to use in my view. Although some may disagree with my view or opinion. I would question ones experience in regards to all things Apple Mac. As there are many familiar with all things MicroSoft & Windows related. But still far FEWER even today. With the experience, background as well as familiarity with Apple Mac and cross platform support as I have been blessed with. With that I would still say, do your due diligence and research and always get a second opinion. Embrace all technology and be willing to engage in what others may deem less worthy. Had I been like most and adhered to the majority in I.T claiming Apple Mac products had no place in corporate America. I would not be the Engineer I am today.  Cheers, Peace and good luck.

Jamf Pro is designed for iPad, iPhone, Mac and Apple TV, macOS only on the MDM layer (and not MAM). 


However, Intune is designed for all OS platforms on MDM and MAM.


Thanks
