Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"The ability to send configurations to our systems is valuable, particularly as we don't have a regular Windows AD server. Our current environment doesn't have a Windows AD, which limits our ability to push GPOs. However, this is where the solution can step in and help us push policies."
"It has improve our organization through the remote management of non-domain joined devices."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"Stable solution at a good price."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"We are able to manage our full fleet of devices and can simply integrate with all of our systems."
"If I need to deploy an app to all the laptops, I can use the smart group I created for them instead of choosing each device one at a time."
"With the countless API integrations and Jamf Marketplace add-ons, Jamf is customizable and is a total device management tool for Apple's ecosystem."
"It's as easy as procuring the licensing for the apps and then setting it to the volume purchasing back in Jamf."
"The remote wipe and lock features are by far the best tools."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the policies."
"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."
"I can set policies to manage devices by many variables OR keep it simple by leveraging DEP to assign new devices the standard apps."
"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Intune's third-party patch management could be better. It should be easier for the average system admin to keep non-Microsoft applications updated."
"Sometimes, customers compare it with AirWatch, but the concept of Intune is different from other solutions. It's an application management app. It gets a bit difficult to explain it to customers, but it's not a product limitation. It takes a presale document or presentation to explain it to customers."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"The patch management needs improvement in Jamf Pro."
"Some improvement can be made in the customer service realm, while also making additional training level courses available for online study and exam-taking."
"It would be nice if Jamf added an onboarding tool integrated into Jamf Connect during the automated DEP enrollment workflow. It would also improve the user experience if Jamf integrated native macOS notifications, with the option to interact within the notification center."
"I would like to see improved integration of some of the additional tools that users create within Jamf itself."
"There needs to be a mass policy change tool."
"In some places, GUI could be more reactive."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"I wish the inventory would have its own pane without having to do it as a search."
"Kandji should give open customization."
