Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."We were able to dramatically enhance our cybersecurity, and better support our users."
"I am most excited about a feature that is called User-Initialed Enrollment."
"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."
"We are able to manage our full fleet of devices and can simply integrate with all of our systems."
"It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management."
"We are able to configure the laptop with the security requirements needed, default applications, and so on without touching it."
"As an administrator, I really love the integration with Apple Business Manager."
"I can set policies to manage devices by many variables OR keep it simple by leveraging DEP to assign new devices the standard apps."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is the software deployment. Additionally, Microsoft integrates most of the other solutions well with one another."
"It lets you know what your infrastructure is like and what state you are in."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not too complicated."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is patch management."
"There have to be made some improvement in WSUS and control in other non-Microsoft products updates."
"It's helped us solve problems surrounding patching, installing, and reporting different patches, etc., on the virtual machines."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"There's only one thing that I would like to see improved. It's potentially being worked on right now, actually. That is the ability to provide remote support access to use those devices. I'd like it to work in a similar manner to Desktop Central or other solutions like Team Viewer."
"I wish the inventory would have its own pane without having to do it as a search."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"I am always complaining about the reporting side of things. I love how reporting lets us create custom reports, however, I also feel like it could use some updating."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"The patching can definitely use a little bit of improvement. They should make it a little bit more automated."
"The downside of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is it's an on-premise-based solution. With the pandemic coming on board the need to support users across the globe has increased. For a while, we would use the in-built Microsoft Teams screen sharing feature but the disadvantage of that is you cannot perform privileged access. Microsoft does not give you access to that. That's where you need cloud-based tools, such as BeyondTrust or Freshservice."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
"I'm looking for a single solution for all discovery needs. It fulfills about 40% of the requirements, and I'd like to see the other 60% so that I don't have to keep doing this."
"I want the system to provide some dependency relations. I would also like to see the relationship between different machines."
"Some of the capabilities aren't fully developed yet. It's an ongoing work in progress. I think they are making some steps in the right direction as far as managing workstations centrally, like Intune."
"I would like to see an agentless version of the solution."
"The operations could be faster and you need some patience with this tool."
"Built in PowerShell cmdlets would be a nice feature because managing clients remotely can be a pain without knowing the WMI calls to run."
