We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and Kandji based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."The solution is easy to use."
"Autopilot is a great feature. Most users are looking for a zero-touch deployment."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"The synchronization of Intune with other Microsoft solutions is a valuable feature."
"Configuration Profiles from Jamf Pro are awesome."
"Jamf Pro allowed us to patch and manage endpoints while collecting log data to help improve operational efficiency."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"The ability to put a device into a lost mode state that will report locations as it checks in has allowed us to retrieve so many lost devices."
"Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices."
"It offers professionals an endless amount of possibilities to keep users and the company happy."
"Integration with Apple's DEP program and the ability to image systems quickly and efficiently is one of the best features. I use Jamf Pro to push out remote access tools that allow us to help our users with issues that require more "hands-on" than only MDM can provide, which is nice as well."
"The most valuable features in Jamf Pro are the policies and config profiles, making our life easy to manage many different things in one place."
"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"The cheaper Jamf School is also a product that has been acquired and decked out to meet more educational needs for a good price. Some features of Jamf School aren't (yet?) available in Jamf Pro and for educational users/customers of Jamf Pro, it would beneficial to have these available in the Pro version too."
"The new remote support tool is still lacking features compared to other industry solutions."
"It would be nice if Jamf added an onboarding tool integrated into Jamf Connect during the automated DEP enrollment workflow. It would also improve the user experience if Jamf integrated native macOS notifications, with the option to interact within the notification center."
"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."
"I can only say that I would love to see a more customizable dashboard."
"I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro."
"I would like to see either a report section or an integration with a new reporting module to allow us to pull real metrics from the system easily."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"Kandji should give open customization."
