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 stable."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"We have a BYOD policy, and this solution helps us manage our devices."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS."
"Jamf has made it achievable for us to easily deploy & manage Apple devices anywhere in the world, without the need for hands-on assistance from IT staff."
"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 Smart Groups have been very beneficial for quick reporting when a critical, out of cycle patch is required."
"The user interface is great."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage all devices through Apple's DEP and forcing them into Jamf pre-stage enrollment."
"It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management."
"Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge."
"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
"For an existing customer who has an SCCM, it would need to be upgraded to an MECM first before I can introduce Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"The reports that are generated aren't so great. They don't give a lot of meaning so far, but that could be down to user knowledge than the actual reporting side of things. I'm not a big user of it, but I was a bigger user of MaaS360, and we used to be able to run weekly and monthly reports. In the case of any deviations. we'd get a warning immediately. That's not so easy to do or to get in place for Intune. This could be just a user issue, but when I compare both, that's the only thing that's lacking for me."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"It would be nice if there was a built-in means of renaming computers that worked reliably."
"We would love to see the ability to have settings apply to mobile devices on a time schedule. This would allow us to plan some tasks ahead of time."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
"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."
"There is still no feature for properly patching T2 Security Chip-enabled Macs."
"I wish the inventory would have its own pane without having to do it as a search."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"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."
