We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and ManageEngine Endpoint Central based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"Based on my experience, I find Intune very flexible for managing Windows devices. We can use scripting, and we can make use of the self-service portal or the company portal to publish some of the applications for Windows."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"Navigation is straightforward. It's not hard to create policies and manage the device. It's a lot simpler to create smart groups, view inventory, and see what the estate looks like."
"The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively."
"Some of the most valuable features for us include remote management, DEP enrollment, and zero-touch deployment."
"The Automated Device Enrolment is great!"
"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."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"The most valuable features of Jamf Pro for me are the device locator, which helps find missing iPads, and the ability to remotely manage and disable devices."
"Honestly, I have to say all features together have become the Swiss army knife of desktop management. They all work hand in hand. Software deployment saves an unbelievable amount of time installing an application on hundreds of computers."
"In terms of technical capability, it is doing very well. It is doing better than other industry products. It is at a place where we can compare it with Microsoft products. Its scalability is also good."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central is stable."
"The reporting tool is very good."
"The stability is great."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We can scale the product."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The configuration could be better by consolidating options and making it simpler."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"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."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"The dashboard needs to be customizable."
"I can only say that I would love to see a more customizable dashboard."
"I think there's room for improvement on the automation. For example, uploading a package to Jamf Pro and then updating the policy and other aspects, should be automatic. For instance, if I put a new version of the software, version 11 and the previous one was 10, Jamf Pro should be able to recognize if there's an update and update the policy automatically. It's not a big deal, but I think there's room for improvement."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"Apple does block certain actions from happening or disallows Jamf from making certain changes."
"I would love to see more integration with ASM and ABM."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"It would be nice if there was a built-in means of renaming computers that worked reliably."
"Some difficulties with setup for multiple locations."
"Not many things are needed for improvement, everything seems to be great as it is. One thing that would be good to have would be the ability to add MDM to a tablet running Android 5.0 using the EMM Token Enrollment. If we wanted to add MDM to an older tablet, we just have to go the "long route" to get it added."
"I would like to see them come out with a SaaS version of the product in the future."
"I would like to see more click to complete actions such as - USB lockdown for Mac, the ability to check AV compliance on servers, bit locker controls, printer tracking or print page tracking, self-help for self-healing like "BMC my IT" and more options in the self-service menu other than just software - maybe add integration in ADSelfService at the self-service menu."
"The solution lacks some configuration."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
"Their support channel could be better. They're an India-based company. They're based out of India. So, here in the States, support can be difficult when you're dealing with time zone requirements. A more global support channel would be a wise choice for them."
"The reports provided by the product are an area of concern where improvements are required. The visibility provided by the reports is not very attractive."
