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.
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"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."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"Its protection policies are most valuable. It protects mobile devices as well as individual apps. It is pretty scalable, and its documentation is also pretty good. It is also pretty straightforward to deploy."
"Microsoft's cloud comes with a lot of extra features that are free of charge."
"The DEP enrollment is quite good. We're planning to migrate to the Jamf cloud this month."
"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."
"Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office."
"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."
"The self-service is invaluable to the user."
"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."
"Patch management and associated policies help us manage and update our fleet's software."
"We are able to configure the laptop with the security requirements needed, default applications, and so on without touching it."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"Workspace ONE has something like an orchestrator model that allows me to configure a set of steps to onboard new PCs, laptops, or tablets. So, it makes my work easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is the support for multiple devices. Not only iOS, and Android, but all kinds of platforms, including VR device management. Additionally, it has a tunneling feature, which no other solution provides. Other solutions have to integrate with other tools to have this functionality, whereas VMware Workspace ONE has its own application gateway tunnel."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"The feature with the highest rating for me is its employee management. I can also praise how versatile it is in terms of operating systems. It has good support for multiple operating systems and can easily manage them all. Not just that, but it can also support any kind of tool that can be run on all these operating systems."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"There are some issues using the solution with macOS and iOS, and it offers limited granular control with them. Intune works better on Windows and Android."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"The backend of Microsoft Intune needs to be improved. We have seen a little bit of delay as compared to other MDM solutions. That needs to be improved. A little bit more granularity should also be added"
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"We face issues when we do not have a script and have to write a script, we need to create extension attributes."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"Simple things like finding policies, configuration profiles, and smart computer groups that are not used by any client could be easier."
"A dark mode would for sure be appreciated."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
"Training should be more accessible and cheaper."
"We had some issues with its integration with other products, such as Intune. There were some issues with the way you have to register your device into Intune."
"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."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"We'd like more useful support."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
