We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) 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."The stability is good."
"Intune enables us to manage our devices from anywhere."
"The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"If you need only to load a specific profile and you don't have deep security functionalities, et cetera, Intune is very nice and good."
"The features I found most valuable in Intune are its user visibility and troubleshooting options."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"It's very easy to just keep adding devices as needed."
"Meraki Systems Manager's most valuable features are password management, device tracking, remote resetting and wiping, device management, inventory management, and easy policy deployment."
"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."
"The web portal provides status reporting and ease of configuration."
"The central management console on the cloud is fast and is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The product provides a universal dashboard."
"We experience no downtime, no breakdowns, all the user readings are exact, and it gives us quick analysis so we can apply security measures."
"Thanks to Smart Groups and patch management, a lot of the work being done is via a hands-off approach."
"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."
"The user interface is great."
"The full API lets us write custom scripts and apps to enhance even further the end-user experience."
"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."
"If you want to manage macOS devices in your enterprise and want to make it as easy for the user as well as for the administrators, you should use the DEP with Jamf Pro."
"Automating the refresh of the devices is huge for both sides of the end-user experience."
"The zero-day support regarding new Apple hardware and Apple operating systems is very good."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"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."
"Cost is the biggest factor for us right now. Microsoft Intune and AD P1 together in a bundle is a good thing to have, but it is very costly compared to other products in the market. Otherwise, Microsoft Intune is the best."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"A new Intune feature allows application packaging, but it incurs additional licensing costs for a significant number of applications."
"Meraki is limiting our connections."
"The price could be better."
"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us."
"Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution."
"Cisco's authorized scripting can be complicated. For example, we sometimes enter the wrong code using this script, and then we had to dictate to find the problem."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. It is more difficult."
"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"It would be amazing if they would give Apple TV management its own space in Jamf Pro and not just mix it in with devices."
"It would be great for Jamf to provide templates for commonly used tasks like updating an operating system, packaging commonly used apps like Office 365, or enabling FileVault."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"Inventory reporting could be better, however, that is already slated to improve with some of the new features Apple has announced in WWDC 2022."
"The ability to ask a device to run a policy regularly would be a real advantage."
"Training should be more accessible and cheaper."
"It would be nice to be able to search smart groups and/or filter them."
