Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."Navigation is straightforward. It's not hard to create policies and manage the device. It's a lot simpler to create smart groups, view inventory, and see what the estate looks like."
"The most valuable feature is the self-service, which lets users install their preferred application instead of installing all applications and filling the machine with junk."
"Jamf cut the time it takes to deploy a new machine to a new user."
"Some of the most valuable features for us include remote management, DEP enrollment, and zero-touch deployment."
"The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage all devices through Apple's DEP and forcing them into Jamf pre-stage enrollment."
"The Automated Device Enrolment is great!"
"There is support for Apple updates from day one. Jamf works closely with Apple, so they are ready to support new updates whenever Apple pushes them."
"We are happy with the collaboration of SCCM with Patch My PC, which allows us to do patch work."
"It uses detailed descriptions of the workstations, and that is good for me."
"Technical support was helpful and responsive."
"The most valuable features are application deployment and task-sequenced imaging."
"Patching is the main feature because SCCM is made to control the entire environment without manually interpreting. So it is good to use for patching."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager helps with patch management."
"The technical support is good."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to learn."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"If it could do ticketing and non-Apple devices then that would be huge."
"A more modern UI in the next release will make the product absolutely perfect."
"Patch Management needs work to be efficient."
"Jamf should give the option to download individual device policy logs, as this capability would really help to diagnose issues."
"There needs to be a mass policy change tool."
"The ability to ask a device to run a policy regularly would be a real advantage."
"The main thing is that SCCM has to become an appliance instead of a server. When I say appliance, it has to come preconfigured so that it is drop-shipped into the enterprise and then you activate the feature sets that you want. It should pull down all the latest binaries. Once that is all there, it should have a discovery tool which goes out and discovers the assets within an enterprise. If the server, workstation, and applications are all coming from the same vendor, why not have the vendor do this work for us and automate it as much as it possibly can?"
"One area of improvement is regarding the patching of Office 365 products. We have some difficulties on this side, and it can be improved."
"The solution could improve the functionality for automating, license management. Additionally, more and better-looking reports are needed."
"In terms of scalability, I believe there's room for improvement. While SCCM is capable of handling our current needs effectively, scalability could be enhanced to accommodate future growth and larger deployments."
"The analysis is something that can be integrated. Their report analysis can be improved a little bit due to the fact that most of the time complaints policies are saved by the admins. It's something that we need to look into and search for."
"This solution should be simpler, and more consistent across modules/sections."
"I would like to see some improvements in WSUS and control of other, non-Microsoft, product updates."
"It would be nice to have everything in one place. Now they have Intune for the desktops and SCCM to handle their servers."
