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.
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune."
"...Intune itself integrates with that entire Microsoft ecosystem. As an individual product itself, it's okay. It holds up. But when you start saying "I've bought this as part of a wider solution, as a company we are going Microsoft throughout," then it makes more sense to have Microsoft Intune... so you have that single dashboard."
"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."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"Apple School Manager integration and access to VPP content made the integration of devices into our fleet flawless and application installation much simpler and faster."
"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 most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"We can set custom deployments based on every available parameter in macOS."
"I can add policies, configuration profiles, patch management, and smart group membership to one single view, and this is very helpful at a glance."
"Automating the refresh of the devices is huge for both sides of the end-user experience."
"The solution has good integration with Google and has high performance for our Mac fleet of devices."
"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."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"The upgrade process of this solutions could be improved. It is not possible to use Jamf Pro to upgrade devices."
"There should be an option for exporting the data for reporting purposes so that we can give that to the higher-ups, such as CIO. We should be able to see bar graphs and charts on different data points. It would be great to have a good reporting tool to look at, for example, data points of how many versions of Adobe Acrobat we have in our environment in a bar graph or pie chart. They don't have anything like that. There is an application called Tableau Reader, which does statistics, and you can put a statistical or analytical aspect in there to extract data and share it on a graph or a pie chart. Such a tool would be great."
"I wish there was a profile that could be created for configuring Apple software updates on a global basis for our devices, via a configuration profile."
"We need better reporting options."
"The patch management is not automated in any way, and you have to do a lot of manual work to upload the current version of applications."
"I would like to see improved integration of some of the additional tools that users create within Jamf itself."
"Jamf Pro currently is only used on Mac computers and could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems. We have to use other tools to manage our Windows and Android devices. There could be other improvements but I am still exploring and learning more about the features."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"I would like to see some integration with native Microsoft products such as Anti-value."
"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."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
