We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) 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."The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"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 ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"Stable solution at a good price."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"The best features of Cisco Meraki Systems Manager include its simplicity and ease of use. It is straightforward to set up and manage devices compared to other products."
"The stability of the solution is very good. It's reliable. We don't have crashes or experience freezing. There aren't bugs or glitches."
"The solution is simple."
"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."
"It’s helped us manage our endpoints."
"The product provides a universal dashboard."
"Meraki Systems Manager's most valuable features are password management, device tracking, remote resetting and wiping, device management, inventory management, and easy policy deployment."
"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard."
"I found that automated enrollment is very powerful because you can bring standardization to the environment."
"The ability to put a device into a lost mode state that will report locations as it checks in has allowed us to retrieve so many lost devices."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"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."
"The Automated Device Enrolment is great!"
"I am most excited about a feature that is called User-Initialed Enrollment."
"Jamf cut the time it takes to deploy a new machine to a new user."
"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"There is improvement needed in integrating with the installed Office solutions versions, such as Office 2019. The Office 365 integrates without a problem."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"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."
"Meraki is limiting our connections."
"Integration with other tools, such as, ConnectWise Automate."
"It would be beneficial to have better integration with other OS."
"It doesn't seem to be able to establish some VPN tunnels with other devices in a particular way that such as an ASA can do for us."
"We've really only experimented with their iOS client. This is due to the fact that their Windows client has a lot to be desired. We first tried experimenting with the Windows one but very quickly determined that it wasn't going to cut it for most Windows cases. The Windows portion of this product needs improvement. I'd say that it's not really viable."
"Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."
"We face issues when we do not have a script and have to write a script, we need to create extension attributes."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac."
"I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"I think it would be best if Jamf had support tiers."
"There needs to be a mass policy change tool."
"The cheaper Jamf School is also a product that has been acquired and decked out to meet more educational needs for a good price. Some features of Jamf School aren't (yet?) available in Jamf Pro and for educational users/customers of Jamf Pro, it would beneficial to have these available in the Pro version too."
