Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, JAMF, VMware and others in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)."The solution is stable."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"Internet-based access with security is what I have found to be most valuable. It is also a stable and scalable solution."
"I like the tool's integration with Apple. Anyone who creates an ID in Intune will get an Apple ID."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service."
"Jamf has made it achievable for us to easily deploy & manage Apple devices anywhere in the world, without the need for hands-on assistance from IT staff."
"The fact that devices just need an internet connection [anywhere in the world] that allows them to check into the Jamf Software Server allows for identical management as if on campus or remote, has proven to be golden during the pandemic."
"Jamf Pro allowed us to patch and manage endpoints while collecting log data to help improve operational efficiency."
"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."
"It offers professionals an endless amount of possibilities to keep users and the company happy."
"We can put certain devices into smart groups based off of device name, department, etc."
"I can add policies, configuration profiles, patch management, and smart group membership to one single view, and this is very helpful at a glance."
"The inventory tool is the most valuable. We have some clients that would only do the entitlements section and search for contracts using Excel sheets. The inventory tool is a lot easier for the managing of licenses, installations, and devices on the tools is a huge benefit."
"The current Intune reporting functionality could benefit from some improvements."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"I expect Microsoft Intune to have more features in the cloud because there are two major functionalities that we need to be added. This is software metering and license management. These functionalities, for now, must be on-premise. For this purpose, we have set up a SQL Server and I hope that in near future this option will be in the cloud in Microsoft Intune."
"Jamf doesn't make the Cloud file system visible so there are rare occasions where the local repository and Cloud repository get out of sync."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"The patch management needs improvement in Jamf Pro."
"For patch management in Jamf, two Smart Groups are required as patch policies cannot be scoped as of now. This is not a major issue, as there is a great workaround by using a wrapped "member of" duplicate Smart Group. However, being able to avoid two Smart Groups for patch management would be nice."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"I think that there should also be more integrations with Jamf that could better the intelligence-gathering when making business decisions."
"I wish there was a profile that could be created for configuring Apple software updates on a global basis for our devices, via a configuration profile."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"There are some licensing models that could be able to be managed in Snow Device Manager that are not, such as token-based models. This would be a benefit since the growth of blockchains."
