JamF Pro vs VMware Workspace One
We performed a comparison between JamF Pro and VMware Workspace One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: JamF Pro is a PeerSpot user favorite due to dynamic features such as zero-touch deployment, numerous API integrations, Automated Device Enrollment, and device lost mode retrieval. JamF Pro is easily customizable, easy to deploy, and is an excellent tool for those organizations heavily vested in an Apple ecosystem. The consistently excellent service they provide makes it a solid, reliable solution.
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"The solution is stable."
"The stability is good."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the policies."
"Microsoft SSO integration allows us to set up email remotely for users without them having to do anything other than entering their password."
"From the reviews that we are getting, the feedback from the client, the tool is very good on the Jamf side - especially for the Macs."
"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."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"Thanks to Smart Groups and patch management, a lot of the work being done is via a hands-off approach."
"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."
"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."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"It has good stability."
"You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
"The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"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."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"There are a couple of issues with stability."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac."
"Jamf should give the option to download individual device policy logs, as this capability would really help to diagnose issues."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"Inventory reporting could be better, however, that is already slated to improve with some of the new features Apple has announced in WWDC 2022."
"We would like to have some of the extension attributes configured so that those extension attributes can be part of the core structure. They can make some of the extension attributes the actual attributes. They shouldn't be like add-ons."
"The reporting needs to be improved so that generating them is more user-friendly."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"I'm not exactly sure where it could be improved off the top of my head, but there is room for improvement."
"VMware Workspace ONE for the new users or the new clients that they try to procure and learn it, there can have difficulties. It does not have user-friendly portals. The portal seems to be more user-friendly in Microsoft solutions."
"Setup is not too complex."
"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
