"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."

"The most valuable features of Jamf Pro for me are the device locator, which helps find missing iPads, and the ability to remotely manage and disable devices."

"There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS."
"The solution is scalable."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection."
"The solution offers excellent documentation that is easily available online."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."

"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"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."
"The patching can definitely use a little bit of improvement. They should make it a little bit more automated."
"I would like to have the ability to push scripts using MDM commands."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"I'd like to see Jamf add Unified Endpoint Management, but it's not going to happen. It's too complex. We tried that for so many years, and no one can do this for Windows and macOS. It can be done with iOS, but that's not the case here. If you want device management for a real laptop operating system, you need two systems. They're very different."
"An in-house chat room would be a great way to communicate with your team when you aren't physically present with them."
"The dashboard needs to be customizable."
"In some places, GUI could be more reactive."
"Some improvement can be made in the customer service realm, while also making additional training level courses available for online study and exam-taking."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"The MDM part of the engine could be better."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present."
"Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
