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.
"There has been a noticeable increase in productivity for both my organization and clients."
"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."
"The one feature we find most useful is the Mobile Application Manager. There are two types, we have the complete MDM and the Mobile Application Manager(MAM). We don't give our users phones, it is their own personal phone, and we need to allow them to have access to the company detail on their phone. We need to create a balance between their own personal data and the company data. We deploy the Mobile Application Manager for them so that we won't be able to interfere with their own personal data."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"It is a stable solution."
"Self Service empowers the user and allows them to install the software they need when they need it."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS."
"The Self Service feature, which allows us to make apps available to our staff and students was essential."
"I have been using Jamf Pro for a few years now, and I'm impressed with its functionality and ease of use."
"Jamf Pro is the only product we can use at the moment because they are ahead of their competitors in zero-touch deployment for the end-user. Jamf Pro has a self-service feature that has helped us minimize our support cases. That's a feature the customers like very much."
"It is a great tool. Its ease of use is fantastic. It is very simple, and you don't really have a high learning curve with this."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
"The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Intune should be much more granular in terms of supporting more Android cellular devices."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
"It would be great if we get an email notification when the Mac users install any apps, so IT can be alerted."
"The patch management is not automated in any way, and you have to do a lot of manual work to upload the current version of applications."
"Simple things like finding policies, configuration profiles, and smart computer groups that are not used by any client could be easier."
"Jamf Pro currently is only used on Mac computers and could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems. We have to use other tools to manage our Windows and Android devices. There could be other improvements but I am still exploring and learning more about the features."
"The solution should offer beta testing for new products."
"Every once in a blue moon, we wind up with a rarely-seen superbug that takes support weeks to months to solve."
"The response time for support could be significantly improved."
"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."
"The console comes bunched together as a package and inbuilt. Its called Workspace ONE. Whenever we have an issue, we contact the service provider, and instead of a fix, we are just getting the next version of Workspace ONE."
"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"The solution needs to adapt to the cloud based reality of the current world model. Some customers may have reluctance to this, but it is the next level for all of the big providers. Azure, AWS and Google are all on the forefront of cloud-based solutions."
"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
