We performed a comparison between IBM MaaS360 and Jamf Pro 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."One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"While Microsoft Intune boasts a wide range of features, its user-friendliness and bundled licensing cost are key considerations for me."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it's comprehensive - it covers mobile devices and laptops in one package."
"Maas360 uses distribution groups to deploy apps, which makes it a bit easier than, for example, Intune."
"All features that we have deployed are useful. We do access office emails on our smartphones, and we have complete sync with Active Directory. Our calendar also gets synced in the MaaS360 application. We also ensure that the data from these official applications is not being misused by any of the employees. We have disabled cut, copy, paste, and all such features. It ensures that all the official data that our employees have on their smartphones is secure. Security is the paramount feature that we value in this product."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"One valuable feature is the ability to provide a secure environment. Another is the kiosk mode where MaaS360 can be used over a tablet or mobile device to ensure that a single application is used."
"The ability to send an iPad out to someone and have them auto-provision it when they are out in the field is fantastic. We don't have to have it all configured before we ship it. This is probably the biggest value add."
"Mobile Device Configuration with policy applying: This significantly reduces time of device configuration."
"We can put certain devices into smart groups based off of device name, department, etc."
"The self-service is invaluable to the user."
"Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to apply apply granular level restrictions to our machines, making them easy to manage remotely from the backend."
"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 fact that devices just need an internet connection [anywhere in the world] that allows them to check into the Jamf Software Server allows for identical management as if on campus or remote, has proven to be golden during the pandemic."
"The time that we save in hours for new deployments, redeployments, application upgrades and OS upgrades more than makes up for the cost of the product."
"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."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"We need the capabilities of the Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to be enhanced through Intune instead of Azure."
"Reporting and troubleshooting for the application deployment could be better. It's very difficult to understand."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"It would be ideal to add support for the distribution of windows.exe applications."
"We had a problem with Microsoft computers. If you downloaded emails on a Microsoft Windows Surface PC, that would also require a license. The Outlook application didn't look great for us on a PC."
"The look needs to be updated and it could be simpler to use."
"Local technical support would be helpful."
"The price could be lower."
"IBM MaaS360’s threat management feature needs improvement. It could identify even more malicious attacks."
"IBM MaaS360 can improve the location reporter. There is a 15-minute delay and this does not allow for any usefulness."
"The user experience really isn't so good."
"We need better reporting options."
"The self Service UI needs some real improvement; they recently revamped the app, but I don't know if those changes have been for the better."
"We face issues when we do not have a script and have to write a script, we need to create extension attributes."
"I would love to see more integration with ASM and ABM."
"Simple things like finding policies, configuration profiles, and smart computer groups that are not used by any client could be easier."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with Jamf Pro, especially regarding updates."
"A more modern UI in the next release will make the product absolutely perfect."
