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.
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"In terms of technical support, you will get an immediate response."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"I can add policies, configuration profiles, patch management, and smart group membership to one single view, and this is very helpful at a glance."
"I found that automated enrollment is very powerful because you can bring standardization to the environment."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"We have been able to successfully manage applications and inventory within our machines."
"Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office."
"Jamf Pro allowed us to patch and manage endpoints while collecting log data to help improve operational efficiency."
"Users love that instead of having to wait for tickets to be resolved, they can open an app and run a specific policy."
"The user interface is great."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"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."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."
"The solution can scale."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"It should be simplified. I've worked with many different mobile device management solutions, and Intune is one of the more complex ones. It could be more simplified, and some of it is related to the wording that is being used, such as a configuration profile versus a policy. They really should have had different names to make it less confusing."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"We face issues when we do not have a script and have to write a script, we need to create extension attributes."
"Inventory reporting could be better, however, that is already slated to improve with some of the new features Apple has announced in WWDC 2022."
"One of the big areas in need of improvement is automated device naming for computers."
"I would love to see an integrated ticketing system built-in, better reporting templates to help analyze the data (software usage, etc.), and integration with FREE SSL Cert (letsencrypt.org) with auto-renewal."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"I think that there should also be more integrations with Jamf that could better the intelligence-gathering when making business decisions."
"It would be nice if there was a built-in means of renaming computers that worked reliably."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"The application itself individuals are getting annoyed with it. They are looking to integrate with ABB applications regardless of whether it is Android or iOS based. We are wanting to shift from this application because of the integration issues we are facing."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"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."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
