We performed a comparison between Ivanti Avalanche 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."It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"It is a very stable and scalable cloud-only solution."
"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."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"Installing the packages remotely and remote control are the most valuable features. There are around 100 pieces or devices, and the only way to send a package to a device is by connecting to the PC and then manually sending the package. By using Avalanche, we can send a package to all devices with one click. It is very stable and easy to use. Their technical support is also very good. We have implemented this solution for our clients, and they are satisfied with this solution. It does what it is meant to do."
"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Avalanche are the remote control and the file transfer."
"It is a very easy-to-manage and granular policy-based solution. Policies that you can create per device per user behavior are the most valuable feature."
"The terminal remediation feature is valuable."
"The most useful feature of Avalanche is remote control — especially the ability to remotely install packages to many devices all at once. When the client has, for example, 100 devices needing updates, it would take far too long to update each device individually. But with Avalanche, we just connect to all the devices through the PC and send the updates out with one click."
"The solution is easy to work with. I like its stability and flexibility."
"It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management."
"The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively."
"Thanks to Smart Groups and patch management, a lot of the work being done is via a hands-off approach."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"The user interface is great."
"With the countless API integrations and Jamf Marketplace add-ons, Jamf is customizable and is a total device management tool for Apple's ecosystem."
"Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices."
"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."
"There are items that require improvements. One is the controls from iOS."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"Microsoft Intune could improve by being more user-friendly and having it geared toward device management. The graphic interface is not very good."
"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."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"There is a lack of flexibility."
"Its price could be improved. It could be cheaper. I would like to see a better approach for Android and an easy way to send packages and manage devices."
"The solution can improve by adding a kiosk mode option to the devices."
"Because our clients are all very satisfied with Ivanti from their side, there is little I can say about room for improvement. However, I think that to stay competitive with other solutions offering a similiar solution, Ivanti could look into making their products more affordable."
"The tool's stability could be better."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation or bringing in AI into to understand device behavior."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"I'm not exactly sure where it could be improved off the top of my head, but there is room for improvement."
"There needs to be a mass policy change tool."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"The ability to ask a device to run a policy regularly would be a real advantage."
"The solution only makes sense if you have a lot of macOS products in your company."
"Jamf should give the option to download individual device policy logs, as this capability would really help to diagnose issues."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
