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 best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS."
"We can set custom deployments based on every available parameter in macOS."
"We are able to configure the laptop with the security requirements needed, default applications, and so on without touching it."
"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."
"Having the ability to automate our workflows has been great."
"Configuration Profiles from Jamf Pro are awesome."
"We can put certain devices into smart groups based off of device name, department, etc."
"Patch management and associated policies help us manage and update our fleet's software."
"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
"The add-ons must be integrated into the solution."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"Jamf Pro could be improved by providing more out-of-the-box integration with other systems such as Active Directory, Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions, and other IT management tools."
"The patch management needs improvement in Jamf Pro."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"If I had to suggest an area of improvement would be the UI. It can be very all over the place and complex."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"There should be an option for exporting the data for reporting purposes so that we can give that to the higher-ups, such as CIO. We should be able to see bar graphs and charts on different data points. It would be great to have a good reporting tool to look at, for example, data points of how many versions of Adobe Acrobat we have in our environment in a bar graph or pie chart. They don't have anything like that. There is an application called Tableau Reader, which does statistics, and you can put a statistical or analytical aspect in there to extract data and share it on a graph or a pie chart. Such a tool would be great."
"It would be great for Jamf to provide templates for commonly used tasks like updating an operating system, packaging commonly used apps like Office 365, or enabling FileVault."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"Kandji should give open customization."
