JamF Pro vs VMware Workspace One
We performed a comparison between JamF Pro and VMware Workspace One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: JamF Pro is a PeerSpot user favorite due to dynamic features such as zero-touch deployment, numerous API integrations, Automated Device Enrollment, and device lost mode retrieval. 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.
"It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"Easy to use."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"We can manage and standardize security across your environment, identify problems, receive alerts, and so on. That's its purpose, and that's also why it's so good."
"One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility."
"It has helped with compliance. It has helped to ensure that devices comply with the organization's policy. If they are not compliant and secure, they cannot access the resources."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"Jamf Pro allows us to manage all Apple devices from a single interface, making it easy to deploy and configure software, set policies, and inventory devices."
"The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service."
"Jamf is stable, reliable, secure and you have lots of customization options."
"Jamf Pro allowed us to patch and manage endpoints while collecting log data to help improve operational efficiency."
"It is a great tool. Its ease of use is fantastic. It is very simple, and you don't really have a high learning curve with this."
"The zero-day support regarding new Apple hardware and Apple operating systems is very good."
"The Self Service feature, which allows us to make apps available to our staff and students was essential."
"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."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"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 its reliability."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."
"The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"The on-going improvements & innovation that Jamf provides over time is something that needs to be maintained, as it is what is needed to fulfill a business & team need at the right time."
"I think there's room for improvement on the automation. For example, uploading a package to Jamf Pro and then updating the policy and other aspects, should be automatic. For instance, if I put a new version of the software, version 11 and the previous one was 10, Jamf Pro should be able to recognize if there's an update and update the policy automatically. It's not a big deal, but I think there's room for improvement."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro."
"The solution only makes sense if you have a lot of macOS products in your company."
"This solution would benefit from more focus on Self Service, such as Office 365 and GSuite integration."
"There is still no feature for properly patching T2 Security Chip-enabled Macs."
"The new remote support tool is still lacking features compared to other industry solutions."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
