"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"Google Cloud Identity uses what they call organizational units (OUs) instead of the security groups you'd find in Microsoft's Entra."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Jamf Pro is the only product we can use at the moment because they are ahead of their competitors in zero-touch deployment for the end-user. Jamf Pro has a self-service feature that has helped us minimize our support cases. That's a feature the customers like very much."
"Zero-touch deployment is the most valuable feature because many organizations have employees working from home. This feature allows devices to be configured and ready for use without needing physical handling by IT staff, making it important for remote work environments."
"There is support for Apple updates from day one. Jamf works closely with Apple, so they are ready to support new updates whenever Apple pushes them."
"It offers professionals an endless amount of possibilities to keep users and the company happy."
"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."
"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."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"I have been using Jamf Pro for a few years now, and I'm impressed with its functionality and ease of use."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"Onboarding of endpoint devices is not straightforward. The onboarding process was a little heavier than I thought it would be. That's the key improvement area. Obviously, the more control you have over the devices, the better it is."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"Technical support is slow."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"Apple does block certain actions from happening or disallows Jamf from making certain changes."
"An in-house chat room would be a great way to communicate with your team when you aren't physically present with them."
"Currently, you need to scroll through pages and pages of icons (we have many icons that have been uploaded), and it can be tedious."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"It would be great for Jamf to provide templates for commonly used tasks like updating an operating system, packaging commonly used apps like Office 365, or enabling FileVault."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"We need better reporting options."
"The reporting needs to be improved so that generating them is more user-friendly."
