JamF Pro vs VMware Workspace One
We performed a comparison between JamF Pro and VMware Workspace One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: JamF Pro is a PeerSpot user favorite due to dynamic features such as zero-touch deployment, numerous API integrations, Automated Device Enrollment, and device lost mode retrieval. JamF Pro is easily customizable, easy to deploy, and is an excellent tool for those organizations heavily vested in an Apple ecosystem. The consistently excellent service they provide makes it a solid, reliable solution.
"Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"At the moment, Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge."
"The solution has good integration with Google and has high performance for our Mac fleet of devices."
"My team use this solution to provide end-to-end support on our managed Mac fleet. This includes doing OS updates and upgrades, application deployments, configuration settings and outlining."
"We have been able to successfully manage applications and inventory within our machines."
"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."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"The self-service is invaluable to the user."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"More integration with monitoring tools is needed."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"Microsoft Intune needs to improve the initial login process."
"The reporting needs to be improved so that generating them is more user-friendly."
"Jamf needs to get an inbuilt remote support tool to allow the admin to remote into machines. At present, you can use third-party remote apps, however, a Jamf one would be better."
"The dashboard needs to be customizable."
"I can only say that I would love to see a more customizable dashboard."
"This solution would benefit from more focus on Self Service, such as Office 365 and GSuite integration."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"It would be nice if there was a built-in means of renaming computers that worked reliably."
"If it could do ticketing and non-Apple devices then that would be huge."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."
"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
