Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"With the countless API integrations and Jamf Marketplace add-ons, Jamf is customizable and is a total device management tool for Apple's ecosystem."
"We can see every single Mac is on which macOS version so we can help users if needed to update their Macs to a saved and current version."
"We were able to dramatically enhance our cybersecurity, and better support our users."
"If I need to deploy an app to all the laptops, I can use the smart group I created for them instead of choosing each device one at a time."
"The user interface is great."
"Automated Device Enrollment workflows are great for zero-touch deployments, vital in the current global context. With Automated Device Enrollment workflows, we can deploy new Apple devices directly to end-users without help from the IT support team."
"Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge."
"Apple School Manager integration and access to VPP content made the integration of devices into our fleet flawless and application installation much simpler and faster."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that I can manage my devices remotely."
"The remote control technology and screen-sharing absolutely help us resolve issues faster. If there is a remote user who has difficulties or does not understand an error or a problem or a crash, the support team can remote control the phone and see right away what is on the screen and act on the problem. We can debug, we can help, we can reboot the phone."
"All features are useful. It is useful for preventing the use of unauthorized software on corporate-owned devices. It provides an option to lock the devices for unauthorized software. The devices can only be used under the supervision of the device manager."
"It's been very stable over the past few years."
"The ease of access was awesome. The guys helping us out were pretty fluent in the product. I currently have two devices in a dashboard that we're testing, but the solution that they have is awesome. I like that it's a cloud-based based solution, and I think there will be some significant cost savings."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of moving items from one configuration to another; it's a Windows-like setup. Also, the admin console is very easy to manage and to move through."
"The admin part, where I'm adding users, is not too bad. It's easy enough to use."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"The solution requires Mac support."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"It will be very helpful if we could restore users after they have been removed from Jamf because I have some cases of deleting a computer before unlocking it."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"There are known issues with the mobile configs that need to be fixed."
"The solution should offer beta testing for new products."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"I think that there should also be more integrations with Jamf that could better the intelligence-gathering when making business decisions."
"Reporting could be better. When I try to run a report, it doesn't have a filter or even a feature where I can choose what I have in the report. That's been a struggle since the first time I used it so I just don't touch it anymore."
"In future releases, I would like to see a better configuration of the dashboard."
"The pricing policy of SOTI is not stable. You buy it today at one price, and the following year, it becomes something like 5% or 7% higher. From my point of view, SOTI is a little bit weak in terms of implementation on the new Windows 10 devices, and they have to work on this. It can't compete with Intune and other solutions when it comes to Windows implementation. It almost doesn't work with iOS. It works well with Android."
"They should improve the lockdown feature."
"The remote screen of the solution gets stuck at times. So, that needs to be improved."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"They have legacy design architecture, and sometimes the support isn't helpful."
"The quality of the support service is poor. The headquarters are not very responsive. And, the actual quality of the software has its drawbacks."
