We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and ManageEngine Endpoint Central 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."Intune provides full visibility into all active mobile device users. If their devices are noncompliant with our security policies, I have the flexibility to update them remotely."
"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."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"I can see that the patch management process is much improved with the bundled patch management option available in Microsoft Intune compared to the KPI deployment required by the other deployment solutions."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The Automated Device Enrolment is great!"
"We were able to dramatically enhance our cybersecurity, and better support our users."
"The most valuable features in Jamf Pro are the policies and config profiles, making our life easy to manage many different things in one place."
"Configuration Profiles from Jamf Pro are awesome."
"The most valuable features of Jamf Pro for me are the device locator, which helps find missing iPads, and the ability to remotely manage and disable devices."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"I have been using Jamf Pro for a few years now, and I'm impressed with its functionality and ease of use."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"We can scale the product."
"It's a complete product that allows you to remote troubleshoot, has an inventory of systems."
"Identification of gaps and filling the gaps with updates are most valuable. We are able to identify known updates or missing updates and then update."
"Very good, functional solution for endpoint management."
"Since deploying Desktop Central our endpoints are all updated. We use configuration management to deploy shortcuts to our users' desktops with ease. Also, we use configuration management to map logical hard drives to our users. Our users are very happy with how much ease IT can solve their problems."
"The solution is stable."
"Has good functionality and is user-friendly."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"I wanted to check if there is any provision at the Intune level to restrict certain things, such as a website, but unfortunately, that feature is available only in Microsoft Defender. Intune has web filtering capabilities, but they are only useful for protection from malicious websites, whereas we would like to be able to restrict a website. For example, YouTube is a clean website. No one would identify it as a malicious website, but if we want to stop the end-users from going to that website, we have to go for another product, such as Microsoft Defender or another third-party proxy solution. It would be great if this capability is included in Intune."
"There is still a gap between SCCM and Intune, especially in the reporting, inventory, and software deployment areas."
"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."
"When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"There is room for improvement in integration and security as well."
"If I had to suggest an area of improvement would be the UI. It can be very all over the place and complex."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"The solution only makes sense if you have a lot of macOS products in your company."
"I would love to see more integration with ASM and ABM."
"The solution should offer beta testing for new products."
"I would like to see either a report section or an integration with a new reporting module to allow us to pull real metrics from the system easily."
"The upgrade process of this solutions could be improved. It is not possible to use Jamf Pro to upgrade devices."
"Jamf Pro currently is only used on Mac computers and could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems. We have to use other tools to manage our Windows and Android devices. There could be other improvements but I am still exploring and learning more about the features."
"I would like to have the option to install the agent remotely."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"The solution lacks some configuration."
"We would like to see options for deploying Microsoft 365 accounts into Outlook. For now we only can use it to deploy exchange accounts. Also we would like to see an option do decline Windows 7 ESU patches in a bulk."
"The reporting analytics could improve in ManageEngine Desktop Central. However, there are some third-party add-ins or modules you can purchase to do reporting analytics."
"Compared to the solution we use to manage our Mac products, this solution lacks the ability to create dynamic groups. We would like the ability, for example, for machines which have been upgraded to form part of a grouping based on this upgrade."
"Some difficulties with setup for multiple locations."
"The pricing is lower than other well-respected solutions in this category."
