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."The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"Its security is most valuable. It gives us a way to secure devices, not only those that are steady. We do have a few tablets and other devices, and it is a way for us to secure these devices and manage them. We know they're out there and what's their status. We can manage their life cycle and verify that they're updated properly."
"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."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively."
"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."
"We have been able to keep our tech department lean and mean, maximizing our efficiency by utilizing Jamf to set up our iPads for us, rather than installing each app one at a time."
"We are able to configure the laptop with the security requirements needed, default applications, and so on without touching it."
"The user interface is great."
"I have been using Jamf Pro for a few years now, and I'm impressed with its functionality and ease of use."
"The Automated Device Enrolment is great!"
"The ability to run event viewer, task manager, services, command, file browser, certificate all remotely without interrupting users is the most valuable aspect. Software deployment and prohibiting, allowing us to standardize on the software that has been deployed through the environment and then prohibiting illegal software such as torrent applications has been valuable."
"The patch manager is good, and it's easy to use."
"ManageEngine has improved my organization because right now we can actually monitor and find out which software products are installed on each desktop. We can then figure out which ones have to get patched and so forth."
"The product works perfectly for patch management and software deployments."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"All of Desktop Central's features are valuable, especially its simplicity."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The stability is very good."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"Microsoft Intune's support for Mac devices is lacking and could be improved."
"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."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
"For patch management in Jamf, two Smart Groups are required as patch policies cannot be scoped as of now. This is not a major issue, as there is a great workaround by using a wrapped "member of" duplicate Smart Group. However, being able to avoid two Smart Groups for patch management would be nice."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"I would like to see either a report section or an integration with a new reporting module to allow us to pull real metrics from the system easily."
"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."
"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."
"Some improvement can be made in the customer service realm, while also making additional training level courses available for online study and exam-taking."
"There are occasional glitches."
"The solution should be better at integrating with other solutions."
"Improvement should be done as per customer requirements."
"The OS deployment could be better."
"Desktop Central has very good information, however, you can't customize the dashboards."
"The support could be faster."
"We are looking for a complete solution for patch management with central management and the cloud which ManageEngine Endpoint Central does not provide."
"Computer imaging is powerful but breaks frequently. The reason for this breaking is not clear and requires heavy amounts of attention to keep operational. There is a lot of room for this tool to do more but the reliability of this process should be focused on first to ensure core competencies are being fixed before more features are added."
