We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security 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."We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"The ability to push applications on devices is valuable. You do not have to manually install applications one by one. If you like to use ten different applications, you do not have to manually go and download them one by one. Intune can compile a package for you, and then you can just push them from the admin center."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"It's a scalable product."
"Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office."
"The self-service portal to share scripts and other tasks that have extremely minimized the need for calls to our support teams, or even sharing the applications we package and allowing users to pick and choose what apps they need or want, instead of just blanket installing everything from our old environment."
"The solution has good integration with Google and has high performance for our Mac fleet of devices."
"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."
"The ability to put a device into a lost mode state that will report locations as it checks in has allowed us to retrieve so many lost devices."
"Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have."
"We are able to configure the laptop with the security requirements needed, default applications, and so on without touching it."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection."
"The solution offers excellent documentation that is easily available online."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"We need better reporting options."
"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."
"There needs to be a mass policy change tool."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac."
"A dark mode would for sure be appreciated."
"The on-going improvements & innovation that Jamf provides over time is something that needs to be maintained, as it is what is needed to fulfill a business & team need at the right time."
"Simple things like finding policies, configuration profiles, and smart computer groups that are not used by any client could be easier."
"The licensing is quite expensive."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"The MDM part of the engine could be better."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
