Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."The most valuable feature is the ability to manage all devices through Apple's DEP and forcing them into Jamf pre-stage enrollment."
"We have been able to keep our tech department lean and mean, maximizing our efficiency by utilizing Jamf to set up our iPads for us, rather than installing each app one at a time."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"We have been able to successfully manage applications and inventory within our machines."
"The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service."
"I can set policies to manage devices by many variables OR keep it simple by leveraging DEP to assign new devices the standard apps."
"I like the data collection."
"This solution helps us by automating the patching of our system."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"We're a Microsoft-centric organization, so we are happy with the integration between products."
"The scalability to deploy the package."
"Patching is the main feature because SCCM is made to control the entire environment without manually interpreting. So it is good to use for patching."
"It saves a lot of money when you can install things automatically and they are installed the exact same way on every computer."
"This solution captures all the devices in our infrastructure."
"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."
"Every once in a blue moon, we wind up with a rarely-seen superbug that takes support weeks to months to solve."
"The patch management needs improvement in Jamf Pro."
"The ability to ask a device to run a policy regularly would be a real advantage."
"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."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"Inventory reporting could be better, however, that is already slated to improve with some of the new features Apple has announced in WWDC 2022."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
"The tool's deployment is difficult. Microsoft needs to improve documentation with videos."
"As far as load balancing across, they don't have that support yet, so that you can actually build multiple primaries and have it load balance across. They don't have any of that functionality yet. That would be a nice feature, to scale that way."
"Our company would prefer not rebooting computers while people are using them. There seems to be no strategy behind it."
"We'd like the solution to make it easier to manage remote users."
"It would be better if reporting were more user-friendly. I would like to see an upgrade in the reporting structure in the next release. At the moment, you have to use an SQL query or configure it to pull reports through the graphical user interface. Their updates could be more regular. I think Mircosoft updates it every six months. They are also moving many things to Intune, and Microsoft decided to move the deployment solution there. I think SCCM is getting old, and Intune is new."
"In terms of the monitoring, the timeframe it takes to actually report back on the compliance of a device after it has been patched is a bit too long."
"The configuration of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could be improved, it is a bit complicated."
