We performed a comparison between BMC Client Management and Jamf Pro based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of the solution are patch management and software license management."
"The inventory and patch management tools are very valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its patching capabilities and the help it offers when it comes to use cases, like prompting for the reboot after a certain period of time."
"It's a scalable solution. We have deployed it for customers using 3000 nodes to those using 300,000 nodes."
"One feature I like, that was especially valuable during the pandemic, is remote control. Remote control grants administrators and support personnel access to the laptops and PCs of employees (who might be working from home) in order to fix any issues that come up as and when they come up, even without having to wait for a support request."
"The support from BMC Client Management is very good."
"One of the key features that I liked the most and a lot of the customer value as well is the geofencing. Geofencing is geographical locations. If the device is on a particular premise, then the policy applies. And when the device is not there, the policy goes away."
"It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management."
"Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office."
"The remote wipe and lock features are by far the best tools."
"The self-service is awesome for empowering end-users, especially if you don't allow admin rights."
"We found the initial setup to be simple."
"Users love that instead of having to wait for tickets to be resolved, they can open an app and run a specific policy."
"Jamf is stable, reliable, secure and you have lots of customization options."
"The on-premises version of BMC Client Management has powerful remote control functionality and decent compliance features, but these features both rely on the discovery tool in order to gain a complete set of insights about the endpoint's environment. Now, BMC's discovery solution depends on having an agent installed in each endpoint and sometimes the agent doesn't work properly, making it difficult to get an accurate understanding of the environment (including special topologies) even with BMC's discovery tool."
"BMC Client Management could improve in the area of integration."
"It would be good if BMC Client Management can perform vulnerability assessment scanning at the endpoint on its own and mitigate that. Then, we wouldn't have to rely on a third party VA tool. I would like to see this application move to being a web-based one."
"BMC Client Management supports only iOS devices. It would be good if they would support Android as well."
"The solution needs to add whitelisting because many customers request it."
"The solution does not offer the functionality of remote access to users."
"The patching can definitely use a little bit of improvement. They should make it a little bit more automated."
"I wish the inventory would have its own pane without having to do it as a search."
"There is still no feature for properly patching T2 Security Chip-enabled Macs."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"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 think there's room for improvement on the automation. For example, uploading a package to Jamf Pro and then updating the policy and other aspects, should be automatic. For instance, if I put a new version of the software, version 11 and the previous one was 10, Jamf Pro should be able to recognize if there's an update and update the policy automatically. It's not a big deal, but I think there's room for improvement."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"Apple does block certain actions from happening or disallows Jamf from making certain changes."
